I was with 1 RCR from 72 - 74 then went to 2 CDO untill 77when I returned to the Bn then remustered in 79 to firefighter and got out in 82 and became a police officer with Toronto before moving to York Regional Police where I still am. I recognize a few names in here for sure. BJ MacLean ya dog I never thought you would ever leave the Band! When I was in the BN the firsy time I was in B Coy and the sceond time I was in C Coy who I went to Norway with 78. Anyone know whatever happened to John Tierney? I ran into Doug Christian at the Airborne reunion in Pet in July 05. I also ran into Squirrel Crowe and some others.
Take care for now and Rusty drop me a line if you get a chance.

I can't say that I remember you but I was with 1 RCR at the same time as you. I was in "A" Coy. I got out in 1981 and joined the Calgary Police Service. I retired from the CPS a few weeks ago.

Great to hear from you. Yes I did leave the band. The fact is that I did not want to be in the band but ended up there twice, once as a young private and again as the Drum Major when I was a WO.
I did have a great time with the band and I had the oppertunity to serve with some very fine soldiers. Jerry Please send me your Email . Mine is bjmmm@ns.synpatico.ca

Jim, I knew a few guys from A Coy but not many and sorry I cant place your name. You must know a Bob Greenwood from CPS. He and I were in the Airborne together. How the heck did you up in Calgary? Good Police Service and much more advanced than us here in Ontario. But thats only my humble opinion. Brian good to hear from you. My email is jrobertson6849@rogers.com Brian remember that old yellow Oldsmobile convertible you had? I cant believe we survived that thing.
I went back to London a few years ago and could not believe what had happened to the Base. All the old shacks around the parade square were gone and the grass was growing up through the square itself. Kind of sad in a way, even if we did spend many a hot day pounding away on it. Nice to hear from you guys and take care.

Brian, you got it right. I was so worried bout my kid sister I could hardly relax. Wayne Sadler came with us too. Some others came didnt they? Hey I remember seeing you on a TV show made by the CBC (I think) you were on an excercise down east and you were either a CSM or Pl WO, cant remember which now. Good to see the guys I know did good for themselves.

Tony,
How coul;d I forget you bro! Your right on all accounts about our section exept that Bruce wasnt the section commander. Milt Coombs was out section commander and better man Ive never met. Unfortunatley Milt dies a few years back in Alberta. Where are you now and what are you doing?

Hey Jerry; Glad you remembered, basicly i stayed in Edm. until it moved back to Pet.But before i went to Pet. I was on the unarmed combat team ruh by Wayne Johnson, CABC, turkey Mcderrmet and Mcormack from E COY. We spent 3 wks. in England and jumped with the Brits.We jumped over salsbury plain in 2 sticks of 32 C130 in line astern ,and only we know what its like when all those planes have both doors open and the ramp partly open feels like !! When we excited you could see all the plane dropping their paras and when you looked down you could see Stonehedge, pretty cool. From there we spent 2 wks. at the Cardiff Tattoo, thats about all I can say about that ! From there I was posted to Germany were I spent 5yrs. in ADP , under RF Oquinn who is a famous Royal and one of my idols. I got out after the 5yrs. in Germany I was pretty burnt out ! From there I spent ayr. working as a bar tender in Frobisher Bay, Thats another story, and from there I been working for the past 20yrs. in a steel mill here in the hammer ! Thats all for now, take care man ! Tony

Ed Loveless lives in Dartmouth, I see him and his family quite often. He remustered to a naval electician in 1975/76. He did well in the navy, made it to CPO2 (MWO). He is with his second wife, been with her for about 24 years. He got out of the Cf a couple of years ago after completing 32 years.
As for John Ridout, he lives in New Brunswick some were near Fredericton I think. He was a great guy and you are right he did have a big honkin great mustach. As for that I am working on a contract with the DND I teach the Ships Boarding Party Team members Empty Hand Control techniques. I will work 28 days this year in 7 4 day cycles this will pay about $17,000.00 not bad for about a months pay. I live in Kingston NS near Greenwood. I biult a house here and moved in past halloween. Me and Madeline are still together, it has been 32 years now. I don't know which one of us is tolerant but we do OK.
I am not sure yet if I am going to like retirment as I miss the fast paced days that I had.
What is up with you?
Your old friend

I have miss placed thier business card so I do not remember the names, but I will find it , probily in the car with my fighting gear.
Glad to hear that you enjoy your work, far too many of the guys get out and regret it. Well done on making it to sgt. I see by your shift scedule that you work the same hours as most government staff do Ha Ha.
