Hello - Having served in Calder and Whitehorse I find it interesting and informative to try to keep abreast of the news related to your project. I arrived at Calder from the School about March 1949 and stayed there until the summer of 1951 when I went to the Det at Calgary where we were located in the Post Office Bldg in Downtown Calgary. While at Calder I spent some four months in Whitehorse as they were short of Tel Ops.

Some of the pers remembered at Calder were Cal Vince, Tommy Thompson, Phil (do you have a
smoke) Tuck, Mitch Collins, Lloyd Martin & Ken True also Bobby Chow in W'horse"..

There were many others who worked at the Station at that time but as many years have gone by it is now hard to remember names. (A common fault of Ageing???)

If there is anyone on the Net that remembers the years 1949-51 at Calder I would be pleased to hear from them. I have lived in NS for the last 20 yrs and enjoy a pretty good lifestyle with winters down south and summers here playing golf on a Championship Course. I was stationed with 726 Comm Sqn Hfx when retirement after 37 years arrived. We live in the southern part of the province in a mostly retirement area. Many Ex military and RCMP in the area.

Much effort is put into keeping the story of RC Sigs alive and it is appreciated by those of us who do not live in the central area. All are to be commended for the effort that it must take to complete a Project of this magnitude. I wish you the very best of luck.

My Kindest Regards,

Glenn Bright. (Ret'd CWO)
