Default Sad news in deed

Had the pleasure of meeting David at the CMP 84 Conference which he stopped on his way home from an event in England. He had a wonderful slide show of military vehicle collecting in Australia which he shared with the group one evening. If I remember correctly David, Bart Vanderveen and myself were the only non-Canadians attending the conference and I think we all felt privileged to take part in that bit of CMP history.

David is at Left between Bill Gregg and Peter Ford


Cheers and Best Wishes to David's friends and family

Phil,

You were in good company, but not many of those men in the picture are still among us. . .

RIP, Mr. Brown.

Hanno

Hi Hanno

That fact hit me when I looked at the picture, and caused me to do a web search on then Col. James Hanson who if I have the correct person is now Retired Brigadier-General James I. Hanson who is still active in Canadian Military History.

Phil,

First of all it is great you are still going strong

Secondly it is good to hear an Canadian soldier actually made a career studying CMPs!
