As far as I know "Aligator" Al Mantel is now retired and living in BC working on a ski hill having a blast.

Mind you that was over 5 years ago and was told to me by another old Dragoon....so take it for what it's worth.

Good luck on finding the rest of your buddies...someone here knows where they are.

Regards

Well, for starters, you most likely remember me.  I'm working in Gagetown now as a civilian contractor, Steve McGeean is also working here as a DND employee.  Joe Cloake retired in the area as well.  Lee Topp and Tom Skelding are both posted here.  Lee is the CTC RSM, Tom works over at (I think) individual training standards.  Somewhere in the headshed, anyway.  Tom Falls is posted to Wainwright.  Hm, trying to remember more names....

If your looking for the 28E crew germany mcpl williams I can help you out,pm me
....I married his daughter.

Joe Cloak recently retired.....as a Hussar no less.

Guess he didn't want to abandon his beer bottle opener until he got out.

Methinks he's still living in the Oromocto / Freddie area.
