I must say I am struck by the medals the a majority of the cadre is bearing. Many, it would appear, served during WW2 and Korea. They were looking good, eh?

By golly Don I beleive your right;  it is a slimmed down Red Hill in the front row.  I also beleive my old recuriting Sgt. Spike Cameron is third left rear row.. I think that's how you spell his last name.  I understand he is now living on the West Coast.  That was of last year 2006.

Hi Jim ; i would just like to say that evertime I think you must of run out of pictures you come up with more ! Looking at those pics. of Northern Quest it reminds me of simpler times when you could still order up a C -130 to drop you off in northern Canada , for a fishing trip ! I always wondered what a civi would pay to do that ! Pro ! Patria

Hi Don & Tony

Do you remember all the names? Take the time and write their names!!

Tony I've got lots left and you'd have to be rich to pay for a trip like that.

Jim

PS We left the Herc pilot with 500 lbs so he could give his crew some!!!!
