Hi Donald

I remember Junky Taylor and Thumper MacDonald in Ipperwash and Germany 2 fine heavy Mortar people. I remember that Old Ed Buck and DP Moore and Milt Coombes and other names that ring a (BELL[Punchy]).

I remember it was the Bank Of Montreal was the place they robbed. I remember they used SMG's (empty) to pull it off. I remember after they pulled it off they went back to the shack and threw the money all over but I can't remember their names.

Hi Bud

Tell them about the time you were instructor for the one and the only San Leonardo Pl. You lived in the west end of the depot block. You went to the alcohol store to buy some booze for us and you tripped on something on the floor and broke every bottle. You said that's no problem and you started to pick it up off the floor. All together there was about 15 bottles of booze all mixed up.lololololol
