Hello Harry,

Your gallery was found just a few minues ago. As a Prairie person, raised on a farm near Grimshaw, Alta., that is why I selected this gallery. As I reviewed the listing of people, the one of 'Father Bouchard' caught my eye. I knew him when I was a child, when he was in Peace River, then he was in Grimshaw, and I last saw him in 1960, when I left the College in Falher. He was the burser there. One of my brothers, who now lives in Saskatoon, would often visit him on trips from Edmonton to Grimshaw.

Congratulatons for including him. Later I will look at the the others, especially the Air Force ones, as I joined the RCAF in 1962 and retired to then Grand Centre, in 1993.

Greetings from Cool Pool, Frigid Pond, etc., really known as Cold Lake, Alta. I am the result of Pro Life. Thanks Mom & Dad
