Two of the best..by the way the keg on the bar was associated with the 48th Highlanders who served alongside the Royals in Sicily and Italy in WW2. In Ipperwash prior to leaving for Germany in 62, the Snr NCOs from the 48th would visit and fill it with Scotch and celebrate the association. I wonder where the keg is now?

Hi Rick

I spoke to SSgt Worden just before I had my stroke. He told me that not too many Royals have come to see him because his sickness had sucessfully cut him off having visitors. RIP Its funny I too thought the same thing the first year.

Look beside Danny Cox you'll see John Worden and Bunny Tapp
