Message from Mike Butler
Bim,
Just an update that we have confirmed that The Wackers Reunion Tournament will be on the June 16th weekend with the Legion booked for the Saturday night! The games will be played at VCHS with the usual beer tent in the park and we will raise money for charity. In Montreal Chris Hurley and Barry Ranger along with Gerry Alcalde (Deb Thompson’s husband) will start setting up the venue and Boyle and me from this end. Hopefully we will be able to get out old players as well as old friends to play or watch! If you can post the date on your web site in Montreal we will have more info and schedules soon. I hope you can make it out!!!
Regards, Mike
Mike Butler

Hiya Dianne Well I certainly remember Peter,Is he still in Quebec.Some of his old players will be hitting that half century mark in age this year and are still here in Quebec.Some of the guys from thet team will be in attendance for this Wackers Ball Hockey reunion in June. Now,you are going need to give a hint so I can remember who you might be,not nuch info on your profile.Now Im curious. Thanks for replying,have agreat day and B-safe Miles Bim Liddell
Coachbim - are you any relation to Stephen Liddell who would be around 52 now, and went to Crawford Park School in 1963 ? Laurie
Coachbim: My cousin Peter left Montreal in the 70's and went to work for CN Marine in North Sydney, Nova Scotia and then several years after that he was transferred to Moncton. He is married and retired from CNR. He and his wife live in Riverview, N.B. Next time I see him I'll tell him that I met you on the VC board. I am sure he'll have something to say about that! Nothing bad, I am sure!!!! BTW....we met late last August when you became a member on that other site....remember the furor that was created back then? Dianne

just got a little road bump?
registar of imported vechicles
recall documention requirement
easy to buy from ebay, later you find out the
hard way.
you learn from your mistakes for the next time
next time i'll know what to look for
That's Ok WAlter it's not that big a deal,..........but that one of the reasons I always had an import/export company do all the stuff for me,...I would do the 'car deal' then arrange to have delivery to me via my broker,..........Never had a problem,.and it was always worth the relatively cheap price they charge for their services,.afterall they do it a thousand times a week,......My vehicle would always arrive,..at my door ,.and all i had to do was cut a chq. when they mailed me the invoice,,,,,,,,,,,, but the 'recall notice is one of the 'hoops' they've added in over the years,..but still easy to get......... Here's the site: http://www.riv.ca/english/html/how_to_import.html It's way easier to just get things done in a few days than screw around after the fact, it's great if you have lots of time to do these things,.,but i always found I got a lot of other things done while ,someone else looked after the paper work,......... ..........Did you get a chance to talk to some of your old friends?? At least you got to visit Verdun,.........and that's usually fun anyway.
This is the direct link to the Home Page of RIV.................... http://www.riv.ca/ worthwhile reading for those who are interested,.....................................
Oh I meant to mention Walter (Metalman) I had to learn the hard way,15 years ago,....that it's easier getting a broker (first of all you pay them with a company chq,......which of course means paying in 'gross dollars,...not net' . and I had my wholesaler ,get a newer Caddy ,that I wanted ,tied up at the Border for weeks...............hahahahahah and in this business weeeks means $$$ Way easier for the pro to do it,......................(Just my Experience) HF&RV

ebay has its ups and downs, i wanted the car
i won the car on auction by just seconds.
the owner e-mails me telling me he wants
his money not through paypal??
have to watch the scams on ebay.
later tells me hes got another buyer, i have
only 2 days?
so i decided to pick it up myself, went to boston
he got the cash he wanted, i got the car.
no choice the car was parked in front of his house
i even had to buy a battery to start the car to drive it up the ramp.
he didn't care he had another buyer waiting if i didn't
come in time to pick up the car with the cash.
i got a letter from riv, went to the gm dealer
were i service my trucks, went in with 6 tim hortons
double double, i minutes i got the paper work i needed
did you know that canadian tire does the inspection for
riv?
all i need to pass is day time running lites, gauges in metric speed or both, air bag sticker in both french and english, a bolt you just keep in your glove box?
the bolt for the baby seat?
most the recall from the manufacturerr, which now i have.
so here is some info for the few interested in getting a car in the usa.
also if the car is older han 15 years you don't need all this stuff.
if i did business with a professional seller, i would use
the broker for sure les.
but the ebay??
lots of sellers are just regular average joes in ebay
and don't care just want the money.
also lots of scam artists on ebay

Hi COACHBIM,....... Bim you may want to ask CTV,.or CJAD,.as they have supported alot of Community type events,.& the Wackers certainly raised enough funds in tha past,.that would warrant a freebie ad or community announcement,....asking for Players,.....I'm sure that at this age ,..alot of them aren;t glued to the FM dial anymore......hahahahah It might be worth ttrying,......................Good Luck sounds like it would be fun for everyone to have a big get together,.................. HF&RV
Gentlemen, It is with regret that we have made the decision to cancel our June 16th ball Wackers Ball Hockey Weekend!!!! The participation numbers were down and that made the financial goal and required cash flow to enable a successful tournament with our usual charitable donations. If possible please pass the word around to anybody who does not use email!!! Special thanks to Bim for helping us out on the web sites to get more attendance but unfortunately our main goal was to bring back the old Wackers gang and we fell very short!!! All the best, Mike
