Here is one of me and Don Zorniak wearing RWR's dress for the parade ... I don't look so great but I love Don's attire
(the cap and capbadge he's wearing are the ones I was wearing in the photo)
For those who don't know, Don Zorniak from the Royal Winnipeg Rifles Museum in Winnipeg, was the very first person I talked voice-to-voice with over the phone about my Uncle Eddie ... he'd read a message I'd posted in their guestbook, searching for information about my Uncle ... when he realized that my Uncle was one of the executed POW's June 8, 1944 in Normandy, he contacted me requesting my phone number, to tell me "the bad news" by phone rather than email. That's when I learned for sure that my Uncle had been executed ... and many of the horrifying details ... so to have unexpectedly run into each other in Ottawa was really something for both of us. ... and how appropriate in such circumstances, on such an important day in history? Life works in good synchronistic ways sometimes.
Enough yapping ...
