Hey Terry, this pic is not the one you took.  I found this one in a box of hundreds when we moved the graaphic artist office from the Glaciuos build.  But I do have the one you took on Facebook, the same day by the way.  We were boarding the Brit. Pumas to go upthe mountain for a live fire Ex.

Hi Gord
It's been a log time since I've seen you. Good to see you here. You were also Pl staff on my TQ3 in London. I believe it was the second last ran in London before the Battle School started up.

Best Wishes: Rick

Hi Gord

Jesus, I'm glad that the BIG &#%^%&@$#% was caught and I guess that he learned a good lesson or maybe he is so full of s%$t he didn't!!! I have been speaking to Russel but it's been almost 2 years. I haven't been talking to Willard or Bob at all.
