This site is a great idea. I was a Rad Op 3X & apprentice 58/60. Had 35 wpm send/rcv (had to use a typewriter though)& could use a bug. Murray code at 10 wpm and baffled the techs in the Congo when my teletype kept making mistakes. Turned out I was typing faster than the 80 wpm gears in the machine. Once they changed them to 100 wpm gears, my machine made no mistakes.

It is nice to see some of the familiar names on this site. For those who know me or remember me drop me a line and I will do the same. Things have sure changed in the CF especially when I look back at the time I spent in Germany. Gary Quann and Roy Eckmeier would probably know about those days. VVV

I don't read my email for a week and someone is trying to say I'm dead. Maybe I am and this is just a dream. :) If anyone out there feel like going for a coffee on the weekends as I'm in Edmonton just E-Mail. Don't miss the Army but do miss a few people that I should have stayed in touch with. Enjoy and if you know me then you are special. :)
NO units looking for info on someone!
I was looking for a guy name Fitz who served with 2 CER in Petawawa but someone told me he had pass on? Does anyone know if this is true or not?

Hope everyone is doing good and this message finds you on top of the world. When I left Ottawa I left alot behind, wish I could go back and find but that is life. Over my career in the military it was fun and I was going to go to Ontario looking for a friend but someone pointed out she is in Edmonton. If anyone knows Shauna Thomas or how I can contact her, is she still in Bosnia? There are good people wherever you go and some leave a print on your heart, others just bite. :) Enjoy and feel free to drop a line as I get to Edmonton on weekends. Working in the computer field in Swan Hills. Thanks again for the memories.
