Hi Jim..I see Marv McDonald, Ed Quinn, Al Conyers, Reg Irvine, Art Tompkins, Walt Holmes, and of course, you. Could that be John Pearman on the end? Whatever happened to him?..Rick

Hi Guys:  I can also see Joe Aitchison on 4th from left.  Rick, you are quite right, that is John Pearman on the far right.  Best wishes to all, RT

Hi Rick

John Pearman left us and stayed on in Germany with 2 RCR. I lost track of him until I went to Career Manager in 1984. When I walked in the door with Rudy Frieze I was met by John. I had the pleasure of working four yrs with him and turned over to Don Ryley. As far as I know John Pearman is still in Ottawa.

L to R, 1st two rows
John Ryan, Ed Ring, Bob MacDonald, me, Dick Gray, Jim Cox, Marv MacDonald, Art Tompkins, Al Conyers, Ed Quinn, Joe Riley, Jim Senecal, Jim Hickson, John Pearman - Back Row - Cy Clayton, Reg Irvine, Walt Holmes.
Almost certainly 1985, but outside chance it was 86.

Hi Joe

You got them all, but I see you're not sure about the date. Did you toss out your calendar or is your memory slipping. lolol

I would certainly hope that "Kernel Joe" would get them all, since he was in the room.  1986, that was the year I was promoted too.

Hi Adjt

You can't take everything that Col Joe says is right. I know of one thing he said was wrong. You see he assumed control of the merrit board in 1986 and we always had the merrit boards in Nov. As you can see Col Quinn is head of the board. So it was impossible that 85 was the year. lolololol
