Godspeed Jack.

Not only Ottawa, try Kandahar (ATCO Frontec Europe) working for someone I knew casually while in......he certainly never took the Major's rank off his shoulders. Arrogant Brit, apparently rubbed people the same way after commisioning in the CF following a career in the RAOC as an NCO.  I just...

Jim, known the man for 34.5 years and I agree with you 100%, especially given the senior rank level involved here. Seen too much "stuff" swept under the carpet by virtue of rank ( and how rank it was) over my career!

My sentiments exactly.

My roommate and fellow platoon member on basic training, a fellow classmate at RMC and my late bro in law's eulogist so I know him more than casually. If guilty what a stupid way end a 34 year career. Bill always was shaped like a fireplug....like me. Big deal get on with the program on lose...

He was also the founder of Katimavik, which as I recall had a military option. He was MND when I first got in and as I recall a pretty good one given he was not given a lot to work with in terms of funding by PET; I recall having a less warm feeling towards his successor.  :cdn:Godspeed Sir. :cdn:

I remember Peter ca 1983-85 when he was posted as I recall to the RCR Battle School. Good guy.

I would think the 65 year old man driving the truck he collided head on into is going through a rough period right now too, through ono fault of his own.

N101 perhaps.....I lived in that one and I-105  mid 80s and remember seeing those signs even then which struck me as very old school. I did ask a long in the tooth ex RCASC Major I worked for at CABC mid 90s and he told me he had a batman when first commissioned in 1966. As for shitty jobs I...

A friend posted a pic online for the simple reason there was a rucksack sitting next to the wreck at the side of Hwy 17 which made our hearts sink. The number of soldiers and others killed on this highway over the years for the simple reason it is not dual laned is criminal. RIP Jason...

Alex, a true gentleman was a good neighbour of my parents in Toronto for many years and I had no idea he was a veteran of WW2......These vets are passing away at a steady rate, and we need to remember their contribution to the world we know today. Obit is below. This was a pretty bad week for...

Thanks for providing the link....I had intended on googling it myself.

Godspeed on the wings of angels, Jumper. http://www.legacy.com/can-edmonton/Obituaries.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=150845813 COOK, Howard "Howie" Clifford, BEM, CD December 2, 1921 - April 22, 2011 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Howard Cook; beloved father, husband...

I am being facetious.....but honest that was Jack's description of the joint lol. Sort of reminds me of MND Coates' visit to "Tiffanys" just outside the gates of Lahr mid 80s. Someone tried to describe it as a fine dining establishment during the spin that resulted prior to his being sacked.

Get your facts straight-according to Layton that was a "Community Clinic".

Experienced this more than a few times myself. The GM dealership in Pembroke comes to mind......I need a new car and was looking for something new but inexpensive. Wandered in and was basically ignored as it was a hot day and I was in shorts, t shirt and sandals (which probably did not meet the...

333 was my second Herc ride from Wainwright to Victoria Feb 82, except it made it only as far as Edmonton. Not sure if it was a serviceability issue or the fact it was Friday night. In any event we hung around for a couple of hours, drank some beer at the mess and another airframe took us home.

Mike was a trucker, not Int. I last saw him about ten years ago when he was visiting his ex wife in our office at 33 CBG HQ. Knew him in 2 Svc, and also when he was B Tn O in Gagetown ca 1995-6. He had retired and was doing the reserve thing again as I recall.

Name was Bruce Richardson

@oldgateboatdriver....at one point up until ca 1968 Naval Supply Officers were Bridge Watchkeeping qualified, but with the advent of the purple Logistics Branch that qualification became the exclusive purview of MARS officers.  I did know one Sea Logistics Officer, Cdr Bruce (? it'll come to me)...
