Buzz,

I plan on attending the reunion here in Edmonton and I am also making the pitch for a trip to Kingston for the RCR one as well. I am like you Buzz, I know about three of the lads from 1 Cdo but the names escape me. The gentle man on the left was originally from 1 RCR I believe and when he came to Edmonton/Petewawa he was put in 1 Cdo. I think his name is Bergeron. He used to rideTrike with the 1 Cdo bikers (Nomad Para).
