Hi Ron & BJ

Yes of course he's joking right BJ!! There was only 4 other "HICKSON's" in the service and when I say "name's in common" I mean first names, Jim.

I know for a fact this person has not aged well.
Some clues:  he served with 1 and 2 RCR
                  he took his release in 1981
                  he joined Calgary Police Service 1981 and retired 2006
                   he is now employed as a supervisor with the Corps of Commissionaires as
                  a Special Constable Arrest Processing Unit Edmonton Police Service.
                  he Worked and partyied with Ranrad in Cyprus
I know Ranrad knows who this is.

Lemme see,
It sounds like my first section commander back in G Coy in 1979. MCpl Thompson. If I am right I ran into you again in Cornwallis when you visited for a grad parade.
