I disagree with you about calling the participating of US trucks
in the Apeldoorn parade being a "black note" and "a shame".
Allthough everyone in our club would like to have Canadian vehicles,
not evereyone has them. Without the US vehicles, it would not have
been possible to offer a seat to all the veterans..........................

Marco,

Thanks for your comment, not everybody like this "subject" about the parades in Holland.
I saw the first veterans hours and hours later in the "America" hall, well you know our story
from my Canadian friend Barry Churcher. I forgot al these missers after the nice conversations
with the veterans and special with Herb Danter and Jiggs Borland. By the way, two weeks ago
was a "big shot" from KTR in my shop, he asked me something about the Canadian vehicles in
Europa. He always thought that all the Canadian trucks were made in the US.
He had never heard from Chevrolet Oshawa and Ford Windsor Ontario.

I have much work to do in KTR, I guess !!!

Mvg. Dirk



Barry, no parades this year................................
