Hope everyone is well for the New Year. Couldn't be better at our household.
Funny how things go in circles. Our Son-in-law (Capt. Brendan Clancy) was accepted into the fire school in Brandon (something he has wanted to do since they were deployed to Kelowna during their large fires) and will bunk on the base for the duration (oh, officers don't stay in bunks any more? Getting too soft on the troops, are we?). Anyhow, for the locals who spot a 6'4" soldier in civies (you'll probably see him at the museum, he is the Regimental historian) sporting a pair of size 14s, that's our boy.
That means we MIGHT be able to sport three generations for at least a couple of hours at the next reunion. Have been encouraging Mother dearest to make the treck, and now that her husband (WO James A. Exell) is better, I expect she will.
Also a local heads-up: I will have a crew in Brandon next week, so I will be staying at Crang's (Shilo Inn) Saturday 12th, Sunday and probably Monday (but might be working all night that day).
Best wishes - Pat, Alexia, Johanna (& Brendan) and Meghan.

Hey Pat,
it would have been great to see you when you were in Shilo, with more notice. I still appreciate at our last reunion how you found jumper cables to assist our women getting to the dance -just like old times!
Hope you and Alexia and family are well and look forward to seeing you again.
