Interviewer: What does November 11th mean to you?
It means a time when I think of, the fellows that I knew, what they might have done with their lives, what they might have done for our country too. I started going on, at that, in those days Armistice Day parades, when I was a Seaforth Cadet and I would be about 14 then. So I've been going on them for a good many years, and I always go on them and I will continue to go on them as long as I can. But, it's great to be with them and to think a bit about the fellows that you missed. And it's a good thing that we, we do remember. It's really, I don't know how it is in Eastern Canada, but I find out here in Victoria and Vancouver, and I don't go over to Vancouver, but I used to go over there, more people are coming out today to the Remembrance Day parades. Each year there seems to be more people coming out and it's a real, real pleasure to see that.
