Hi Jim.

Great shot of you and Dab.  I was just talking to Dab, down in Kingston, while attending Larry Soroka's funeral Dec 15, 2006.  Daber, looking great and has recovered from his accident and is on the road once again. 

Best regards to you and Norma.

Not sure of the other RSM's name but the picture corresponds with the turnover from Snowgoose 52 to Snowgoose 53. The PPCLI relieved us.

There was a Tony O'Keefe, NCM with the first BTN just before I got there in '82 from my home town of Pouch Cove NL. He was out shortly there after, went home and married a distant cousin of mine. He has one brother, an officier in Gagetown, and another an adm officier, Damien who was posted in Chatham when I was there in the early '90's. Dunno if the same guy.

Not sure what happened to the guys. I did hear that Tony was killed in a car accident in NFLD. No way of noing for sure. They were a few of the great guys from the platoon. Ihope some one else knows something about them.

BJ,

Is it Jerry Frank your thinking of? I served with Jerry in 2 Cdo and he died of a heart attack last year while out golfing - RIP Jerry. The pic does not look like the Jerry I knew, but then again we all have aged significantly LOL.
