Yes and yes!

WO B.W. Howe, Lt P.F. McNalley, and Sgt T.J. Fenton.  Also MCpl Dave Leblanc of to the far left.

Quick story about Mr. Fenton:  I was asked to drive a Brit back to his platoon house during the evening, and once at the house, they plied me with a great many Keo Brandies.  On my way back through the airport, going around a round-about, I hit a road marker and flipped the jeep, sliding 40-feet on the driver’s side.

Well, back at camp the MP’s came for me, and Tom Fenton, told me not to say a word: so I said nothing…absolutely nothing.  The MP’s actually had to call in Tom to get me to talk :-o)

Anyway; afterwards, he took me back to camp, and to his room, where he offered me a drink to calm the nerves, and was the only one who asked how I was doing: Great guy in my books! 

They all were!

Hi Steve,

What a wonderful surprise!   I’ve often wondered how you and Libby have been doing over the years.  Send me your email address, and I’ll be pleased to send a line or two, to bring you up to date: dbrydon at (@) ns.sympatico.ca.

All my best!

Dave
