  • Photo of Russ Challoner.– Despite being old and rather worn this picture, taken less than a year before his tragic death, perfectly captures the image of my beloved Uncle Russ Challoner. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and sailor, but most of all Russ loved to fly his fighter jet in proud service to Canada. I loved him and miss him very much.
