looking for Royals 79-83
« on: April 07, 2006, 10:14:53 AM »

Hi royals

I was in B Coy from 79-83 remember my first day reported to MCpl Don Marche myself Brian Levesque and Gerard Noseworthy Don made us clean Barrack block 5, 3rd floor strip wash and wax all floors to keep us busy until our course started I remember Don pointing out the guard house to us and said if we weren,t done we would end up there. Those were the days I actually ended up spending a few nights in the crow bar hotel hahaha.Any of the old boys out there I would love to hear from you. I live in Ottawa and always have a cold one available.

Cheers Randy Grin

Hey Randy, Ron Bertin from the good old days (Royal 78-83) in London. Still here soldiering in sunny Gagetown. I miss our early days in London, as they were full of good memories. I have contacted Steve E and will visit him next time I am in Kingston. If I ever get to Ottawa, will surely give you call.
Ron!

Hey Geoff

Good to see we are still alive its a wonder the military kept us but we all worked hard and played harder. The song dirty boogie I made that up in the back of a deuce and 1/2 while we were broke down and freezing We all sang that quite a bit. Love to get to the next reunion and have a few wobbly pops with the boys.

Hello Ron

The young LT I would have to know her first name to find out if she is related. How are you doing Ron ? I keep in touch with some of the boys getting older never go to the crow bar hotel since I left the Battalion. Had some great times and met great friends. Keep smiling.

Randy: I retired a few years ago. and am still living in London. I chair the membership for the London Branch of the Association. Randy like you after one trip to the Crowbar Hotel a lesson is learned ( Stay out of There) which I did as well. For the life of me I can not think of the first name of the Lt. Lets just say she was a Hell-of=a lot prettier than you. Hope you come to see us in London for some of the functions I post regularly on this site. Hi Jim Im sure u know some of the stories as well but they can't be posted here. Pro Patria Ron

If her name was Mary Watts she was from St Thomas and i went out with her for a short time. And no relation at all I am not that much of a red neck haha. I will try to get down to London sometime in the future as it stands now I am pretty busy travelling. I am sure you and Jim have travelled way up North here in the high arctic as I thought I recognized your kids haha.

Maybe if we keep bugging Terry him ans Steve will get on line. Well todays weather in Dewar Lakes is snowing and only - 6. The weather I have found in the last 4 years is sure changing up here .I like it colder this way no blizzards and you will get off the site when job is done. Oh well more money for Lisa and the girls as these are dry sites.
