Really? Thats awsome! He also went to the elementry school i went to, Blessed Trinity, in Toronto. My elder sister's teacher actually taught him. She said that he was a class clown, and just to keep him quiet during the day, she would give him fifteen minutes at the end of the day just for entertaining the class with faces, comedy, etc.
Do you happen to know what corps or squadron he was in?

I also found out that country singer George Canyon was an air cadet. I hope someone heres heard of him. I don't want to sound uncool, lol

Fred Penner (who owns all other children's singers) went to 170 St James (Kiwanis) RCAirCS.......

It's a bit odd....... when I was a kid, I was a huge Fred Penner fan.  Then I joined cadets, and just happened to join the squadron he was in.  Didn't find out 'til my third year, either.......
