Trying to locate fellow Base Brats...CFB Summerside

[sbowes101]

I am trying to locate Jeff and Mike Hopping.  We were base brats, living in CFB Summerside, PEI.  Last heard Jeff was a Medic and Mike with PPCLI, both Canadian military. 

I am living in Halifax now, after 8 years in Winnipeg.  Settled here now, and hoping to hear of news of the brothers.  Any info...appreciated.

Their Dad still lives in Summerside- Denis.

Try calling them through him.

Is Mike mid-late 30ish and a cook? A cook who used to be with the PPCLI that is....

Small world!  I know their father, he was CO 413 SAR way back when my father was Lead FE with VP 415.  Denny Hopping was CO of The Regiment after he left the Reg's in the early 90's, and Mike was at one of our Soldiers XMas dinner, MCpl at the time IIRC (this would have been around...92'ish?), and a cook serving with the RCDs in Pet, I think.  Perhaps some Dragoons on here remember him or can confirm that?  He wore the Blues, that I do remember.

If you do try to get ahold of their father, he is located (last I knew) in Mill Point, under Summerside in the phone book.

Have you tried looking them up in the email Global Address List?  If not, or if you aren't in anymore and don't have access to the DIN/DWAN, PM me, and I can take a look when I am back to work next Monday.

I think Mike is now a WO still serving in Pet IIRC. Did a couple of tours with him!! He kept me well fed!! His 9erD is a Sgt Sup Tech.

And yes indeed he was at the RCDs during our time in the Golan...and he does wear blue.

small world!

His father was the only guy I knew (some hard-air type might correct me on this) that wore Canadian Pilot wings, and American (he was qual'd on the Cobra and had done atleast 1 exchange with the Yanks IIRC).

Good people.
