Ahaaa!! I remember you.
That occured just before Ivan, Bill, MacTavish and I were going to go down ... and they nixed that after your 'incident'. Ergo we all ended up in Swakopmund instead ... singing songs very loudly as we stumbled home to the leave centre instead.

And a nice leave centre it was. Right on the beach, I wonder what that would cost to buy?

Then he'd have been there with Karen "Sorndog" -- one of my counterparts on numerous tours ... and an awesome roomie.
Sadly, she just pulled pin and put in her VR -- Comox ... apparently she likes it there too much!! I'll miss that mother-trucker. ;D

Well chatter over in the "Highest Ranking Female" thread eventually made it's way to Associate MND Mary Collins (note that the media calls her "Joan Collins" throughout the write-up & in the picture caption :
)... I remembered this pic and pulled it out of the shoebox ...
The write-up killed me reading it again ... I hope it shows up large enough that you can read the article about our very tough tour that we were about to embark on ... :-X
Read the article ... ignore the little 1st year Pte standing next to Ms. Collins; I was obviously having a bad-hair day.

OK! We'll ignore the Pte having a bad-hair day; but it is rather hard to ignore the Coffee Cup Stain..... ;D

PMedMoe said:Geez, Vern, did you have fake ID, when you joined? You look twelve-teen!
20 then, turned 21 during the tour.
I didn't join until after doing a couple years at good ol' Mount Allison. But thank you ... I've depreciated somewhat since then!! >
(I'll blame my parents for the coffee stain George --- they clipped it from the paper to give to me when I got back from tour ... )
