Many years have passed since BBCI and the "old" Base Borden. Recent visits to the Base are a big discouraging as it is not as pristine as it used to be. Miss the Malt Shop and the security of the Base itself. We had it good then but didn't really appreciate what we had.
Here we are many years later, although the time has passed quickly with many changes in all our lives. Did you land up doing what you thought you would be doing? I know I didn't.

I see that some old friends are retired now, some working, many/most I don't know what has happened to them over the years. Being an army brat multi-year friends were hard to maintain. We lived in 13 homes and I went to 13 schools over the years before my father retired in '68. He passed away while working for CMHC, at age 59 from a brain tumour. Never really sick a day in his life, we lost him so quickly (6 months). My mother is still going strong at 84 and living in Stittsville just outside Ottawa. Hope I inherited her genes!
