When I was in Germany I had never curled before and I was lucky enough to start curling with Wally as Skip, I was lead and the others on the team were experienced curlers..Mackowosky, Earl Skillender, George Brooks. George ran the kit shop in Germany and last I heard he retired in Charletown, PEI. I saw Earl Skillender a few years back and he was up around Exeter somewhere. When we left Germany Wally and a medic whose name I cant remember bought an eighteen wheeler and started team driving. I often wonder how they made out.
