Later on, I thought that I should have got up and joined the line up (ID Parade?) of old

soldiers in the picture and had someone else take the shot.  Never thought of it at the

time, of course, but no one ever said I was the quickest thinker in the bunch.  You guys

never did call me Speedy Gonzales!

Left to Right is:  Alan Donaldson, Aldore McIntyre, Ray Campbell, Jim Ovens, Ron Young,

Dave Boyd, Doug (MAD) Murray and Johnny Harper.

It was great to see all of those Royals after so many years.  The line up all had one thing

in common which is why they got together as a group.  Does anyone care to guess what

that was?

Pro Patria and best wishes to all,

Hi David

Nor me I was out on Vancouver Island in a place called Courtenay. My brother Pat passed away two days before I got there.

As a correction to my ID parade above, I guess the Royal on the left is EARLE Donaldson
