Comments: Thank you Gary for highlighting a very unheralded era for the "Moms" who served in our Armed Forces as we lead up to 'Remembrance Day'. Edie's story can be viewed in Special Editions in the side menu. Do you have a story to tell?

Comments: Just read your amazing tribute to your Mom and her service to the nation. I am truly moved by her story because, like you, I really didnt see my own Mother as having a life before "being Mom" She too served for 3 years in the CWAC. Of course, we have pictures of Mom in uniform and dozens of faces we didnt know anything about. It saddens me that I didnt realize sooner, the depth of her contribution to this Canada we call home. Thank you for reminding me and Thank You to your MOM and the other 22,000 young women who came to the defence of freedom.

Comments: I was back in Brandon Manitoba for 10 days in October. What a great time I had, even though I was there to visit my dad in the hospital. Got to see an old pal Lois Forke, Dianne Gray Moorehead, Alf Hackenschmidt, Heather Dalgleish and former shilobrat teacher and choir master, Gerald Brown. Too bad I didn't have a chance to see many other brats who I think about regularly.
Comments: My days frome Shilo were 65 to 67 then to Soest.My dad's name was Chuck Gregory and my mom worked in the cafeteria. I was 7 when we moved there and have a brother and sister names are Cliff and Evelyn.
