Cancer is cruel and it seems to be everywhere. We all know somebody who's had it. My mother is currently battling breast cancer and I cannot agree more with the statement that cancer is cruel.

Jules I know how you feel.. My dad died in 2003 from colon cancer.. He never even knew he was ill until it was too late.. I was estranged from both of my parents, you know the phone call thing at Christmas but not much more. I regret that now because I didnt get to see him until after he had passed away. But I know my mom went thru alot taking care of him and my grandma who had dementia. Cancer they say doesnt know discrimation... I think of my dad often and smile at all the wonderful memories I recall after you let go of whatever stupid issues we had with parents back then. My moral of this story, please remember life is short and if you have issues with people you love, resolve them cos you never know when one day you may get a phone call that will make you regret the decision not to. Luckily I still have my mom and I have lots of contact with her now. I admire her strength to look after someone you love knowing that one day soon they will be gone.

Point well taken regarding lost parents. I'd have to say I was estranged from my mother, too, after she left us five kids and dad while we were posted in North Bay. Who would have thought of a dad being a single parent back in 1975. Wow! The norm now with our generation not staying married for life; marriage doesn't seem to have the same staying power - as I 've learned, marriage is a relationship - that takes works. The couples I've interviewed over the years who have celebrated 40, 50 and 60 years...they tell the secret to a good marriage is being best of friends after all the lust disipates after the honeymoon years fade away. Cancer is cruel! But remember your parents, mom and dad, during the next few months....May is for Mother's Day; June is for Father's Day....if they are still with you, say thanks for raising you, and tell them you 'love' them. Life is short afterall.

Both my parents passed away from cancer within two years of each other 1999,2001. We planted a tree at the Airforce Museum in Trenton, right next to the gold airplane near the road. The museum thought it was a great idea and is hoping more people do the same thing. The tree has a plaque on it with their names and a bench near it also with their names on it. Much nicer than having to visit a graveyard to talk to them.

The woods by Dairy Queen are still some what in tack how ever a majority of them have been thinned out partially due to the death of a young girl and some other problems. The main reason is the flight path of the aircraft landing on the base.... interfears with radar and so forth. The old Yukon lodge is gone.....it was torn down and a new one built over on the other side of the base near the old mess hall which bt the way is now civilian run and open to anyone ( military or non military) There have been some major construction projects there over the years. The PMQ area now boasts a huge pool complex ( olympic size) a new arena, a community centre and an enlarged museum ( well worth the viewing I might add) The schools , I say schools as there are more than one now... have gone french. Well one is french, the other perhaps french immersion. cheers Lance

Where's our air force brat group from the base? yes, the base offers a lot more than when we were teens back in the mid-70s. But base living - always enjoyed it as we were all the same, transplants from everywhere else because of our dad's postings (few women as I can recall being military compared today). And that speed limit on the base....crawl to slow at 20 mph. In your dad's car it didn't seem slow, but then you were a passenger. Different when you are the driver.

Where's our base brats, the kids who grew up at CFB Trenton, going through the elementary schools before graduating to BSS? Maybe the base can help with the '07 reunion. The gold plane at the memorial museum is a Sabres jet, prior to the arrival of the Snowbirds, that's the plan pilots learned on at CFB Cold Lake. Called the Sabres jet. My father has a memorial stone on the base, near the Voodoo, another plane no longer in the air.

Hi Brats;
A quick hi before logging off - wanted to respond to Diane's post about the Merriams/Therrians. Anne Therrian is in High Level, AB, married, kids, and works for the school board (I believe she is a principal now). Her married name is Roberts. Still the same girl she was in high school. The last I heard of Jane Merriam she was living in Kingston, a nurse, married, and quite recently had a baby. Anne is still in touch with her.
Hi to Brian Gosse - are you in touch with Darryl at all? I lost his email address when my computer crashed. Hope he is doing well.

Hi Carroll... welcome aboard! I'm afraid I have lost touch with Darryl as well, but I think Howie is still in touch with one of his brothers. I'll see what Howie can do for us.
