Did Mr. Corkum remuster to MP? I knew a Capt Jenny Corkum (a nurse, served during the Gulf War) at Chatham in the early '90's. She was/is married to a tall guy who had retired from the service as an MP about the mid to late '80's I believe. Meet him a couple of time at base/unit functions with Jenny; tall, nice gentleman. Just wondering if this was the same guy.

Well, i wonder if Gerry Corkum could be a brother to Colin?? Anyone know?  I do know Colin was a great guy, was the MP WO when i was in Chatham. His son Bob played in the NHL, first with Buffalo Sabres. If the guy in the oic is Gerry ,the face says he could be Colins brother.  ranrad
