I had the honour of meeting Smokey at the Dominion Veterans parade here in Wpg a few years back. He was most gracious and having a great time - I was able to steer our newspaper's reporter and photographer over to interview him, as they had no clue who he was or that he was there.
Here's a snap I took of Smokey being interviewed beside Rob Love's carrier with a few other Prairie Command types standing alongside.
