Looks like you had a great turnout, Willy. I see some old friends and colleagues. Phil Johnson and Bucky Buchanan put me through Cornwallis around three decades ago... Don Forbes, Paul Curtis and Rick Ireland were with the first when I first got there.
Thanks.

Hi Willy.
Thanks for posting these excellent Reunion Photo's. Great to see Aldore, Matty, Dupes, John Todd, Bill Hunt, Henry Companion, Don Forbes, John Curry, Bill Springer, Ed The Sock Dauphee, just to mention a few. A lot of memories flash through my mind while vewing these photo's.
I would have been there this time around but had to stay here in London, because of health problems with my wife. I am sure each and every one had a super time.
Best regards and Pro Patria.
Ernie

Great pics; Aldore you haven't changed since since the Chatham, even Jackie (niner domestic who was the base hosp clerk back then recognized ya!); neither has Phil Johnson who was one of my section commanders in the early 80's; looks like you all had a great time.

Willy ; great pictures . I had to go through them a few times for a lot of the names to kick in , but I sure did recognize a lot of them . It's good to see their still alive a kicking , although there seems to be a shortage of hair in your pictures ; must be the camera .
There also seems to be a few of the boys from Ont ; some people will go anywhere for a party .

Thanks Barry, it was a great get together. The camera is ok I think the hair loss is from to much break dancing. Good to here from you again.
