Joe Rilley is correct, and I must say that I have a great deal of respect for him; he was always fair, and always willing to listen…good man in my books!

Left to Right: Sgt Thiessen, Lt Balfour, Capt Peters, Maj Caffery, MWO Rilley, Sgt Gogan, Sgt Grant

Cheers,

Dave

Boynton it is...his primary goal when we hit the island was to be able to sit a beer mug on his belly, and not have it tip over :-o)  I have to say he achieved his goal without difficulty...to bad about the dunlop though...that’s when his belly dun-loped-over-his-belt :-o)

Goodtime had by all!

Cheers,

Dave
