Message from a former alumni

Add Me...! Previous 400 Squadron member out of CFB Downsview , during the Otter and C-45 era...
ended up flying for the US Army during the 'Nam years.....
Freddy..Thank You..! I served with Bill Humphrey and Barry Hubbard ! It is with regret that we meet at
sad occasions , mainly funerals.....
I flew the fixed wing in the US Army... L-19 and the T-42 Beech Baron at Ft. Rucker , Alabama..
Ft. Stewart, Ga
FAC at the Artillery School in Oklahoma, Ft.Sill
and later took my Air Traffic Control at Keesler AFB in Mississippi....
when I returned to Canada , worked at YYZ-YHM-YOW-YTZ...
worked at de Havilland .....worked at the San Jose Jet Centre in California .....LOTS of history !
I did attend US Army reunions, but drug abuse, alcohol, divorces, suicides had taken its toll of the ranks....
..a book that did disclose the Canadian participation (3000+) in 'Nam came out called :
Unknown Warriors: Canadians in Vietnam by Fred Gaffen

Freddy, Thank you for your consideration, Mike
