June 1, 2006 Lance Steel Thanx to Grant Clarke who was our neighbour, we had a wonderful place to live as we started our married life. We "tramped" our way around Europe with a tent and our Fiat 850 sports coupe and Kharmann convertible. Increment C was the group that was left behind on bugouts as we were the ones who were to destroy the base and remaining equipment if the real thing happened. Met a lot of good soldiers and good men on that tour(66-68). This is a great site. May 31, 2006 Sandra Bourque My yearbooks have molded in my mother's basement so I really enjoyed seeing these old photos again. I can't believe I still remembered all the names of my classmates and many teachers even though we only knew each other for one or two years. Often wondered what happened to them. I returned to Edmonton where I went to U of A and earned a Master's degree in Zoology. Have been a School Board Trustee in Richmond BC for 16 years, married and have three children. May 27, 2006 Suzan Montroy I will be visiting Soest, Germany this fall and have a German friend who will be taking me to Soest, but I don't know the address and both of my parents have paed away.

Original entry in Feb 2004 May 21, 2006 Edward Mandrake Bill I had tried to e mail you some ago, no response. Please advise us as to your whereabouts. Your wife and my Wife arrived in Germany at the same time. Sure would be nice to contact an old friend. May 20, 2006 Monty Elliston I come back often checking for new updates and noticed I had listed the wrong unit in Hemer. It was 1 RCHA, not 4 RCHA as probably most of you knew. Would like to hear from Mike Juneau, or any of the other crew members from the AOP. May 19, 2006 Christine Kippan This site definitely brings back memories. Thanks to whoever has put it together. I attended Soest Sr grades 7, 8 & 9 from 1958-1961 and would love to hear from anyone who was there at that time. My husband & I are now retired and live in Qualicum Beach, B.C. May 19, 2006 Thomas Powell Was joy to see this site, found it through Shilobrats, I was surprised to see your history does not start back in 1954. I believe that was when the first rotation for my father started. Actually he was there in 1953 and family a year later. We came from Calgary Alta. and travelled by train and ocean liner, took us almost two weeks to get there. What a trip and what a surprise when we got there NO PMQs no School, so we lived on a farm for almost 5 months and went to school on the army base in Hemer. Finally housing was available and the school was finished. Brings back some great memories for me I was 9 years old at the time. Thank you Tom Powell May 19, 2006 Mary Male May 15, 2006 Gordon Cook Looking for friends from Hemer May 14, 2006 Cyril Hatcher Nice Site May 12, 2006
