Bob Archibald was my cousin.  His son Alan lives in Boston and frequents the site on occasion.

Alan was famous in his own right locally for hand drawing t-shirts with Hot Rod cartoons.

Erskine "Erky" Young passed away quite a number of years ago. I don't have any details. I worked with Erky at Foxboro Instruments in Lasalle and we we neighbours and friends way back when. he was married to gal named Diane.   Gary Mace (ex 1045 Valiquette & 920 Moffat) now on the left coast near Les

Fun to find this blog. Just a few updates to add:
1. Tom Burt has sadly passed
2. In addition to Dick Hammond, Graham Doyle and Lorne Richardson, need to add two other Piston Popper founding members to this list - but I don't know their status;
- John Hill, and most importantly ...
- Harry Isaccson. If not for Harry the Piston Poppers would have never been. This guy got it all started out of his basement on Manning Ave. Thanks for all you did, Harry. Who could have known what a legacy you were creating :)

My uncle is Harold Butler, who will be 77 on August 19, 2022. I showed him the 1998 Verdun Reunion video which he was in. Lots of great memories. He was asking about Frank Pedder and contact information.

Ok, anonymous I cannot forward anything to anyone via this site,If I had a contact number for Harriet Hewitt, I would get you to respond tothis with a contact email or number ,but I Never publish/post peoples info publicly. But I would do what I could to help make the contact.
This site doesn't require membership, and even if someones chooses to 'join this site' they only have to do it. I don't have a personal information list of members. Basically being a member just allows you to get email updates from as they are posted.
So hopefully Harriet Hewitt will get your msg. by surfing by.
