Hi Mike,
I was on that parade and I thought it was great. What a crowd.

Hi Wayne. I was on summer tasking in Ipperwash, working for Wally Turple, a hell of a Royal if there ever was one. He mustered us Thursday morning and gave all all passes until the next Tuesday. You coudl say we have a convoy of very happy Royal Canadians rushing back to London for the Thursday reception. One hell of a time indeed.

Hi Mike, I was there watching from the side lines. Some of us old guys were already out at that time.

You know retired and rewired.

Well, Ron, I think were were lucky to have been in the bleachers in summer casual then on the field in RCR ultraformal. That was one hot day and it is amazing that no one dropped on parade. And the party that night! Shaaaazammmmm!

Mike so you think it was just hot for you guys on the parade. I ended up with a sun burned head and had a hard time tipping it back so I could drink my beer that night. It was a good thing they had buses running back end forth from the parade to the base.

Is there anyone out there with the VHS of that parade? So the web site can put it up for all to see.
