Wow, you must have really been taken down hard to still have issues with your wrist after all these years? Problem is, if you didn't get it checked out at the time and then don't report the incident then, nothing gets documented. Good luck with your claim.

Fellow gunners - 5 + Months left to go for the Shilo reunion June 26 to 28. Looks like a small Ontario contingent is starting to develop.  Folks I know who are making the trek are George Shewfelt, Brent Mills, Blair Levert, me and possibly Barry Bartelt. I am sure there will be many more as...

Hey guys - I have just discovered there is another gunner reunion afoot. Apparently Shilo holds a gunner reunion every 3 years and 09 is one of them.  I believe it is also big anniversary for the Corps as well. It is scheduled to take place from June 26th to the 28th in and around Shilo. So...

Rick, you can not be more right! These events are great forums to reconnect with old buddies and drag up old memories/lies.  Now that it is in Shilo, this give our guys from the West an opportunity to attend. We had 35 1RCHA guys showing up in Arnprior at the legion.  Nobody sat all night - we...

The get together is looking real good. The Arnprior legion is ready to go for 2 August. I am (so far) expecting around 30 and still counting.

Great pics Denise. Can't believe we all looked like that back then.  The tight blue jean shorts brings back some memories?????  I remember how cool we all thought it looked!!  Now if you see someone wearing shorts like that, it is usually in a bar called the "Blue Oyster"  LOL  Most of...

In relation to my last post (1RCHA reunion- Arnprior Ont) The date and venue has been changed to one week later on the long weekend (2nd  of  AUGUST) The 1 RCHA get together will be held at the Arnprior Legion starting at noon on Aug 2nd.  There is the usual Legion games (darts - pool -...

Thanks a million Denise. *NOTE* To all interested in attending the 1RCHA get together - Because of the "no booze" at the parachute hangar, I had to arrange a new venue which I am sure everyone will enjoy. It is 5 minutes from the hangar at the Arnprior Legion Branch 174.  There are all the...

Indeed Paul. It would be great if you could make it. I have heard from a few more hopefuls - Cid Saunders - Lane Lambert - Onion Keep getting the word out folks, this is starting to look like the perfect storm!!!  LOL

I know all these guys as well!!! For all of you and for any Lahr Gunner/wife or anyone WHO served with the guns (techs - cooks - admin etc...) during 76 to 82. We are organizing a get together in Armprior, Ontario on 26 July 2008. (this appears to be the most central area for a large group of...

Hi Denise. Thanks for the reply.  I will be great to see Roger (aka- WAWA) and meet you. I am on facebook but not sure if anyone else is See what you can do.

I really don't think you have anything to worry about.  From your description of the encounter, it sounds like you were impressed by this individual and usually, first impressions are on target. Although rare, it is not uncommon for a serviceman and women to take back-to-back tours.  He was...

Calling all 1RCHA Gunners from Lahr (76 to 82 - or so). I just sent out an e mail for the reunion in Armprior Ontario.  I have attached it's contents below.  Fellow "Gunners" their families and associates. I thought I would take a leap and get this reunion thing rolling. Over the winter...

Indeed Paul. I am sure he has an even more "radiant" personality!!!    LOL  LOL Later guys - gotta get to work.

Hey guys - I found Dave Gale. He is living in Pembroke and works at Chalk River Nuke Plant. I gave him a call last night and all is well with Mr. Gale.  I told him about the possible reunion and he is interested. I will be sending him this web site and he will be sending some posts very soon.

Same here Paul. Married 22 years (2nd wife).  My daughter (from 1st wife) turns 30 this Feb.  She made me a grandfather twice and my son is 16 this May. We are tucked away here in sunny Windsor where I am a Security Manager for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp (OLG).  I have been with the...

Hey Paul. How is the world treating you buddy? I also wondered what happened to big Dave.  He certainly was a stand-up guy.  Hopefully, he will surface soon. As for the the reunion, things are still in the planning stage.

Hi Danny. Good to hear from you.  How's Geraldine?  I am assuming the "European" Geraldine is long gone?? You guys are right, Shilo is definitely central, however, so far, the bulk (80%) of those interested are from South to Eastern Ontario (6 hours drive for the furthest person). Plus, we...

Hi guys. a few of us are working on a quasi reunion of sorts.  One idea is for the reunion to happen in late July in Arnprior Ontario.  The names so far are - Barry Bartelt, George Shewfelt, Brent Mills, Lane Lambert, Randy Ackert, Turtle, Onion, Sammy Sams, Brian Ried, possibly Wawa and...
