Dear Mr
Learmond.
The undersigned is an ex-RCAF
firefighter who served in Cold Lake, from 1963 to 1967at the time the
104’s were brand new. I lived some very special memories as I glanced through
the photos of numerous familiar and friendly faces of the slide show of the
Canadian Starfighter Association site.
I was fortunate enough to have a few
rides in the ‘’back seat’’ after going through the aero-med requirements of
10FTTU (F/L Kelly) and the frequent ‘’calls’’ the fire hall people had to
respond to made us familiar with the flying people.
But, the main purpose of this e-mail
has to do with RCAF Stn. Casey.
As retirement time is about a month
away, I plan on spending as much time as possible at my fishing/hunting
cottage, in Casey, (Quebec), which is exactly
For my own pleasure and for
cyriosity purposes, I am planning on enjoying a new hobby…. «self-taught»
archaeology. I have located the foundations of what appears to be
the main gate guard house and I plan to work my way from that point all
the way along the runway where numerous other buildings were
located.
But, this enthusiasm has a negative
side… Apart from the black flies and musquitos, the lack of information makes it
difficult to proceed. For many years, I was in touch with one of the original
residents of the village who actually worked at the construction of the runway
(Mr Jean Hudon) and he was gathering documents from relatives and
acquaintances, for me to copy, but he passed away before I could have access to
them.
I assume that you now know what my
next question is, ‘n’est-ce pas’?
So, any document , photos or
drawings, plans, etc that I could get access to would be more than greatly
appreciated.
I thank you very
much.
Best regards.
