She bounced back but by then it was too late to go so we stayed closer to home and toured around the Gaspe and NS. We've decided to to split the trip in 2 parts and are currently planning to do northern Quebec and Ontario, Manitoba and Sask (Prince Albert), then south to South Dakota, back to Ontario then home. Then in the next year or 2 we'll be able to make more of a beeline to Alaska since we'll have seen most of what we want as far as Alberta. I hope all is well with you. Added any more grandkids?

Richard was a very popular guy and his passing was a great shock. I did not make the Verdun Reunion (Strathcona) as I had to attend the Grunt Club Dinner at Hotel Bonaventure that evening. I understand that the numbers were down this year - this may be sign that it is running its course. I did attend Gary Butler's 60th. Birthday Party in December. Wayne Flynn and Bob Caldwell were also there.

hear from you and ...Hi John , Always nice to <br />hear from you and to think back to some of <br />my best years growing up in Crawford Park <br />.<br /> I thoroughly enjoy the site <br />Verdun Connections and I like their daily e-mail feature <br />which makes it easy to <br />skim through the various <br />posts for something that connects to my past <br />. Several years ago I ran into Brian Ranger <br /><br />in a restaurant in Ville St <br />Laurent . I was out with a customer <br />at the time so unfortunately we had little <br />time to talk . <br />I tried reaching after that <br />time but was unsuccessful . I hope some day <br />we can get together again for a Crawford Park <br /><br />reunion for the 55+ . <br />Wishing you and your family and everyone <br />a very Merry Christmas .

All <br />is well with us except my wife <br />has caught a bad cold and is suffering <br />a bit . <br />I can't recall John or Harold <br />Clark and have lost all contact with friends that <br />I new while growing up in Crawfordpark <br />.<br />I wish I would have <br />made a greater effort in keeping in touch <br />. I think that the school for sale in Crawford <br />which you attended is the same school <br />my friend Edward Good went to . Do you <br />know him ! Last I heard he was living <br />in Florida , Would be great if could <br />all meet together for a reunion one day . Please stay in touch <br />and I am always keen to learn of any news about <br />Crawfordpark . You don't realize what you <br />got until it's gone !
