Hey Brothers!!!!

Wow!!  Sure is great to hear from you all..  Things are well with me.  Still with Peel and have been so for almost 9 yrs.  Enjoying the job (somewhat).  Got another 13 yrs till 60.  Gonna try and pull it off but who knows.  Man do I miss you guys.  People ask if I miss the green and I say (as you all say I'm sure) I miss my friends.  The police world tries to come close to the comradarie but there's no comparison.  Im living up in Orangeville if any of you boys loose your way.  Will welcome you with open arms.  I monitor the site as I can, but with the shift makes it tough. 

Take care old friends...Be safe and always...Pro Patria

Well there once was a girl we called Bucky who was known to spend many a night in the shacks in London in the late 70's early 80"s.
 And no one who spent time in Cyprus in the 80's-90's is likely to forget Mur-Mur aka Mumbles the mute whiskey dolly form Nicosia.
  Hi I rember some from both 1& 2 RCR Cement head an Offcer we dubed (Mary popins)  another Offiicver(stone face)   Mine was Tex
