  Hi Jim .


I"m glad to see this photo of Danny Loomis, the other officer I do not know.
I just finished reading his book that he wrote.

Interesting photo. When I was in Borden in 1978 at the Leadership academy, Dave Nolan had a dinner at his house and who should  be there but Larry Costello. I bugged him about his misadventure in Germany in 63 when he broke his leg skiing. He had a cast on his foot and on exercise they made him Duty Officer in the Bn CP. Bernie Hurley had made pretzel switches on the floor to make it hands free and every time Larry stomped down with his cast he would break them. When I last saw Larry years ago he was the Base Surgeon at Shearwater NS....Rick
