ReplyDeleteHi Danny,
ReplyDeleteBob Lesage ran the EMT service at Circuit Mt Tremblant... until the owners
bulldzed them in. One weekend at the feature race, the ambulance drivers all put
the rookie white triangles on the back of the ambulances.... really messed with
the racer's heads! I think the last time I saw Bob was the night we set off the
sirens on his ambulances at his indoor garage!

ReplyDeleteHi Ed, Your mention of Gordie Shute prompted this message. Gordie passed away about three years ago. His daughter Brenda and I were good friends during our teens. We have reconnected and just had lunch together. Her mom is 91 years old and is living with Brenda. Small world.
ReplyDeleteBob and I were friends as well. He was also involved with the Verdun Civil Protection (Old fire hall on Verdun ave at Osborne.)
ReplyDeleteWow the old fire hall with the library upstairs, right? Now there is a memory. I used to go to the library just to see the firemen, ha ha
ReplyDeleteThe old fire station has been very well preserved.........
