Hi Willy, just wondering if Duke was from Glace Bay, i served with a Duke Dearing in the early 80's. I wonder if it was his son. I remember Duke was a heavy drinker and loved to scrap. (jr)

Hi Tim I don't know if Duke was form Glace Bay or not the last time I seen him was after Cyprus 67 (he did like his beer but he was a lover not a scraper) we had some good times in line crew 62-65 Fort York.

Tim, look at the picture, you can see the Duke we know in the face of the guy in the picture, it has to be some sort of relative, if not his dad then a brother for sure.
