Dolan Magrath handed me a bag of photos to upload to the website during our 100th Anniversary Birthday Party. Its taken me this long to fight through some of the other tasks that I've got going on. Sorry its taken this long, Dolan!. I've placed the first batch on the On Guard 90 page. Is that correct? Can you identify some of the detachment? I think I was attached to enemy force and hardly saw the guns at all. Or was that 91? Captain Rob Wishniski has provided some excellent photos from his tour in 2013. I've placed many of his photos of the local culture on this page. Candle Light Dinner Menu I've started a Candle Light Dinner menu collection here with a sample menu file for you to complete. Send me your completed menu to add to the collection [email protected]  A slight error was made in the Postal Code for Major (ret'd) Peter Moogk's address. The correct address should read:

The second photo is Sergeant "Scotty" McGinley and Master Bombardier Brad Barton during a Chilliwack range exercise. Seems like just yesterday.....   |
