7943 J.W.K. (Bill) Lye College of Entry: Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean The   Review  1969        Le Défilé  1967          I, like several of us, was a Service (Army) brat, ending up in Chilliwack, BC, where I joined the Royal Canadian Army Cadets, (RCAC), 1725 RCE Cadet Corps in 1961.  It was here in 1962 that I first met Gord Hamilton, the Cadet Pipe Major of the Victoria, BC, RCAC Canadian Scottish Regiment Cadet Corps at a British Columbia Cadet Corps Tattoo, starting a lifelong friendship there, at CMR, at RMC, in the RCE and latterly as business partners and ski buddies. After only two weeks in Soest, Germany, where my dad had recently been posted after Chilliwack, I returned to Canada and met up again with Gord on 3 September, 1964 at CMR, neither of us having known that the other had even applied. We were both accepted into the Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers in 1965, graduating in 1969 from RMC with ...

 Bob Morton Skiing Boler Mountain with Robby and Julie Gerry Poffenroth I spend most of January and February at Big White skiing – saving Florida for later. Old age has advantages. Resorts of the Canadian Rockies has a 75plus seasons pass for $139, I will be able to spend a few days skiing Fernie and Kimberly without the day pass prices. Terry Melnyk   I cross country ski in the winter and bike otherwise - 900 km last year and aiming for 1000 this year.

Jack Reid and Dennis Dart Taken 28 Aug 2024 in Osoyoos Bert Armstrong We rode to work here in Victoria for 16 years, no matter the weather. Now we ride our electric assist bikes and tow trailers with our dogs aboard. Gerry Poffentoth I’m still cycling. Rode Veloroute des Bleuets last week. I ride a couple of Fondo’s each year with our daughter and her husband. My cycling claim to fame is having rode up Mount Ventoux, a climb  on the Tour de France John McCormick I too have cycled with Michael Gerry - I like that appellation.  Not any place exotic, just locally around Burlington and Ottawa. I cycled to get into some semblance of shape for hockey and I still cycle but sto...

  7972 Luc(ien) Bujold   1969 Review   1964-67   CMR (Maisonneuve) 1967-69   RMC (SFMA)   My military career nearly did not happen.  On September 3rd 1964 I was sitting at home in Senneterre Qc wondering what I was to do next having evidently failed to be make it to CMR when the phone rang.  A gruff voice, having agreed that I probably was who I said I was, basically said: “Where are you?  You were supposed to be here (CMR) yesterday.”  Obviously Canada Post could not find Senneterre and my acceptance notice never reached me.  An overnight train ride to Montreal saw me join our cohort a day late and still with long hair.   Five years later I joined the 3 e Bataillon, R 22 e R where I would stay until 1975 and progress from rifle platoon commander to anti-tank platoon commander, company second-in-command and finally Battalion Operations Officer.   I did my first tour to Cyprus during this period.   1975...
