Hi Don.

I remember this fellow as well.  Aldore was saying that he aged well and I agree on that one it must be that NFLD, air.  Past my greetings on to him the next time your together.  All is well here London, with no snow left on the ground at all.  We have had a January thaw with temperatures reaching 14 degrees and much more like spring.  Leo Young, past by my house couple of days ago with one of his student/drivers and give me the high sign but the bugger didn't stop and say hello.  Leo, is still teaching driving with Jock Shields/Driving School and seems to be enjoying himself.  Leo, has aged well and doesn't look a day over 50,
keeping himself in good shape running to stay fit. 

Best regards to all on the Rock.

Ernie.

Gerry was my Platoon WO, 9Pl, O-Coy in Cyprus 1986. He was nicknamed Gargamel (villian on Smurfs) by the troops.
Others in 9pl included Jim Cottnam, Fred Doucette, Jack Gaudet, George Thompson, Dave Gill, Carl Bomberry just to name a few
Cheers,
Mike
