Andre Gibeault

I spoke to a fellow who had helped appraise Andre's collection for the Canadian War Museum.

He had two running halftracks, a third nearly ready and a couple of derelicts. A "few" of his pieces are in the background of the condolences card someone had posted. The choicest runner was purchased by the CWM as well as about half the others. No word on where those went. This would be the second or third major acquisition from him by the Museum. Other earlier exchanges included the bullet-riddled Mercedes staff car and an experimental tracked Jeep.

So, Andre who lived a quiet happy life in rural Quebec amassing a spectacular collection has become probably the single most important contributor to Canada's most prominent HMV grouping. His legacy is indeed a legacy.
