Default Italian campaign vet needs a carrier ride - Toronto area

I just had a message on another forum asking to be introduced to anyone in Ontario who might give a fellow's uncle one last ride in a carrier. The old vet went up the Italian peninsula and across Northwest Europe, so he probably has a few stories to tell. He is nearly 90, so its this spring and summer or maybe not at all.

Who in the greater Toronto area has a running carrier with a spare seat for an old timer? Jordan ... ?

The VE Day parade in Ottawa may be too awkward to coordinate for all parties. A private showing at everyone's convenience might be much easier.

PM me or straight to terry.warner@sympatico.ca

I'd do it but Im not sure when my carrier will be back up and running.

Perhaps Charlie Fitton or Stewart Loy could help out.
