  8198    Rick Wright   Residing in Calgary, Alberta   I spent 36+ years of Service to Her Majesty before (in high school) and after Royal Roads and RMC.   I was a member of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals (RCCS) until Unification and Integration hit, when I became a member of the Communications and Electronics Branch.   In the late 1990s, the Army remembered the RCCS, and we became members once again. After grad, I was posted to Calgary to 1 PPCLI on contact training to learn the communications needed for Infantry Battalions from a Platoon Commander’s point of view.   This is where I was lucky enough to meet Linda, and, as they say, the rest is history! I served in the School of Communications and Electronics Engineering (CFSCEE) in the Officer Training Squadron and School Headquarters (1972-1975) which included a 6-month UN posting to Egypt (CCUNEFME) in March 1974. In 1975, I then spent a year in 1st Canadian Signal Regiment, supp...

  7845 André Lagacé   After graduation I married Donna and we started our nomadic life at CFS Beausejour in Manitoba. Over the next 26 years we were posted to Valcartier, NDHQ (four times), Paoli Pennsylvania where our youngest son was born, Moisie QC, Brunssum The Netherlands and Brussels Belgium. My most captivating job was doing applied research at the Defense Research Establishment Valcartier but our best posting was at Allied Forces Central Europe (AFCENT) in Brunssum where we fell in love with the Dutch people. I retired in July 1995 as part of the Forces reduction program. Retirement allowed us the rewarding opportunity to take an active role in the lives of our two grandsons. It also gave us time to travel and enjoy our hobbies.   Donna reads a lot and has mastered textile crafts such as sewing, knitting, cross-stitching and quilting. She also enjoys designing our beautiful garden. I enjoy woodworking, photography, hiking and biking although I don't go...
