Wow we sure had some great response ,years back ,most of these were from the MSN days, I guess people just liked the easier format,& the fact that you could respond to any topic & that topic would automatically pop back up to the top of the reader board (blog).....

Cheers ! HF&RV I just thought some of you may recognize some of the older posters...... ........... - Les

Hi Les,
Thanks for reposting these photos. I just recently googled "Jolly Roger Motorcycle Club Verdun" and this website/thread came up. My dad, Art Williams, talked about being part of the Jolly Rogers. I'm not sure exactly when he was a member, but it was probably late 40s or early 50s. He had an Indian, then later a Harley, and was friends with Frank Meikle and Phil Barzdenis. He was born in Verdun in 1930 and lived there (on Godin, then Rolland) until our family moved to California around 1968. Unfortunately he passed away in 1995 and my mom, Jean Cameron (also from Verdun), passed away back in 1985. Just wondering if any of you knew my parents? Also, does anyone know how to get in touch with the person who originally posted these pictures?
Thanks,
Scott

I will do what I can to get that info for you Scott,.some of our posted material is from the old MSN site ,,and many members never did make the inital migration to this Multiply forum, but I do think i have a list of all the origianl members & maybe ( not sure) their email address''s from that time.
Glad you found the post linking back to here. Cheers ! I'll get back to you with what I find...........HF&RV - Les

Thanks Les! Any information would be greatly appreciated! Please feel free to pass on my email address to anyone with information about the Jolly Roger club during that time.
Thanks again,
Scott

Hello everyone. My father was Jack Merie. I didn't know him as he died when I was 5. I am trying to pull together about him. I understand he may have been murdered in Vancouver or may have committed suicide in Winnipeg. IF anyone knew him, could you please post a message. I don't know much abut him and would love to hear any stories. Thank you in advance!
