OK Mike and Ranrad: You both are right on with John Newfie Crosby and "Pass the Tequila Sheila". You get 100 percent for that. But you young kittens have to listen to an old cat when I tell you about our Pachino vet. Capt Sherry Atkinson went ashore on the original Pachino Day in 1943. He was in combat with the German Parachute Regiment until his carrier ran over a mine and he was badly wounded and sent home. He went home to Canada by hospital ship (no long haul casualty planes in those day). Sherry was awarded the Milton Gregg Award for service to the Regiment recently and he is one of our most respected veterans. He is a great old Royal Canadian. All the best, RT
