Well, I say I was very lucky in that we joined, three of us, joined together. In fact, another one came on. And they all survived. One of those four is dead now. One has Alzheimer’s. The other one has a bad foot can’t, and luckily, you know. My health wise, I seem to be fortunate in that respect. But we still see each other and we were friends then, we’re still friends and its something that. And even in the legion, now like Dave McQuinland(sp) good friend of mine. I met him through the branch here and three or four more. It’s a comradery that we had and so it’s I guess you can get that in other areas but it’s just something that. We have a table over there in a corner on a Friday afternoon maybe have a beer, two and talk about. All Second World War Vets, ya know. There’s another table there’s Korean Vets. You know what I mean? It’s a , I don’t know what it is. But anyway it’s something that, you know, sort a glues you together in some type of a organization. Well its, I don’t know. If your peers are doing something, you know, if they did something sixty years ago you were friends. They did what you did and you lived with them for, you don’t know anybody until you live with a person. And you lived with them for four years on a gun site, you know you’re on a gun site you’re eating, drinking, doing what , other things with them and it’s something you probably can’t buy any where else.
