  • Photo of JOSEPH HARVEY MILTON LACELLE– This is one of many pictures I have given to me by my mother (Bernadette E. Perry). She is 94 years old and well. She met Harvey at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa. They dated seriously before his departure for WWII as an air gunner for the RCAF. She speaks of him today, everyday and will always. They were very much in love. thank you Claire
