There were some 160 people in attendance, including about 80 members of the Association.
Among those attending were Clem Lambe of Marystown, and Percy Price of Ottawa, Ontario. Back in 1956, these two gentlemen went through Basic Training together in Pettewawa, Ontario. They also served with the Fourth Battalion Canadian Guards at Camp Ipperwash, Ontario. They became separated when the Battalion was disbanded in 1957.
Lambe served 3½ years in the Military and returned to civilian life, while Price became a career soldier. The two friends didn't see each other for the next 52 years, when they were very happy and surprised to see each other at last weekend's reunion. Many thanks to Bernie and Sue Skehan and the organizing committee for a great reunion. Hope to see everyone again at next year's reunion in Oromocto, NB.

They were taken in 1971 and in 2009. The latter was the first time we were all together since Dad's funeral in May, 1989. It was taken when we all got together for Mom's 80th birthday in May of this year, 2009. Starting in the front and going clockwise we have the baby to the oldest Cathy, Rick, Tony, Betty, Heather and Gertie.
