RCHA Reunion Thread 1970's- 1980's-Come One, Come All

[Denise C.]

Anyone know the whereabouts of Jack Horner.  His real name was Rod but we all called him Jack.  Havent seen or heard of him since Lahr and Roger and I would really like to see him again.  Let me know if you know anything.

Little guy in C Bty was it Rod Corner. He was from Montreal.

 

[Denise C.]

Someone said that the last they saw of him he was finishing university in Cambridge.  Nothing after that.  I dont remember him being french but its possible.

 

[mad dog 2020]

He was English but from Westmount or some English neighbourhood.  He only used his second language when required or if he had a few.

The last I heard from Jack was about 22 years ago, he lived in Cambridge, Ont. at the time, and had just finished a psych. program at a university, and yes he was/is from Montreal.

I am putting this post in a few threads to ensure the news gets out so forgive me for duplicating.

[Paul Gillman]

Do you have memories of Lahr? I bet they're not the memories of the nights and days spent partying. Because you blacked out, how could you remember?

Come to face book and see some pictures of how you looked on those days and nights that got lost in a haze of good time rolling.

 

[Joe Claus]

Great pics Denise.


Can't believe we all looked like that back then. 

The tight blue jean shorts brings back some memories?????  I remember how cool we all thought it looked!! 

Now if you see someone wearing shorts like that, it is usually in a bar called the "Blue Oyster"  LOL 

Most of us weighed "a buck 30 or 40 and had shoulders on us like a "trout"

FYI
The Artillery website is just in the process of being updated. The discussion forum is still in its early stages with very light traffic. However, you may want to register there as well.  www.artillery.net

Tony Gilks just told me about this site.  I was in Lahr from 77-82 in A Bty.  Been a long time since I've seen some of these names.  I've tired to keep in contact with some guys but as you know we all move or change.  I've sent this link to Dave Prong and Bob Hosier.  I'm in Ottawa and will try and make it to the reunion even though I have a Triathlon in Ktown that weekend.  I still bump into herbies everywhere.  Spud Leclair in the grocery store, Bob Skinner walking along the Rideau canal, Lloyd Walker working in the Holiday Inn airport in the Peg. Cant believe I see names like Shewfelt and Monkhouse.  Spending an hour of work time to read this is golden.  I need a Reigler Beer and a schnitzel.

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

Would this be the Geoff Williams that lived on Michael Cresent in Pet for a while?

 

[mad dog 2020]

Geoff
Great to see your doing well.  I still recall our Gagetown/Bangor trip.  Friday nights at the Zoo.. drop me a line.
George

 

[Geoff Williams]

Yes Bruce.  The same guy that chased you over your lawn with my motorcycle.  Walked down the road in your jammies and housecoat lately?

Hi George, I remember the Bangor trip quite well.  I have stayed there again since.  Fortunately with the new Trans Canada you never have to see Gagetown again.

Its not the work its the people that put the personality in life that brings back memories.

One of my favourite times in Lahr was Arty tech course and we went to Bitche France with B battery for firing.  Supertramp, beer, outdoor movies.  Critchley would get up and dance in between rolls of film and get pummelled with beer cans.  Ah the simple life.

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

I still wander around in my housecoat mumbling incoherently at times...... :clown:


Oh yea, changed the thread title so this is a bump.
