Ce fut un grand jour pour la famille Brassard, mais on ne doutait pas alors qu'on aurait plus tard affaire un militaire. Les quelques solides amities qu'il noua peu apres son arrivee au College lui en faciliterent le dur apprentissage at la vie militaire. Possedent les qualifications necessaires pour naviguer, j.P. se retrouva aux commandes d'un petit monstre connu sous le nom de Chipmunk , dont il maitrisa la conduite en quelques jours. Les copains se souviendront des longues heures passees au mess 51 ecouter jean-Pierre nous arler de ses prouesses de la journee. Moins chanceux l'annee suivante, il se retrouva, gr ce Qi la nouvelle politique de l'aviation, de nouveau a Centralia oil il dut suivre un cours en telecommunications. Apres un sejour de trois ans au CMR, jean-Pierre se dirigea vers RMC ou il choisit le genie electrique. Apres quelques difficultes ct quelques chocs electriques, il franchit les etapes qui le separerent de la derniere annee. - Grand amateur de golf, jean-Pierre reproche aux Colleges des forces armees de ne pas posseder dlequipe represntative de balle-molle oii i,l excelle comme 'flmzce-torpillen. ll consacre ses loisirs a la lecture et au sommeil.

Son reve: Voir Paris et mourir . ll va sans dire que c'est une figure de style, mais l'exageration n'est tout de meme pas si loin de la realite. Vers Page de 16 ans, le voyage devint pour lui une obsession et pour satisfaire cet instinct il se dirigea vers le plus proche bureau de recrutement. La marine s'empara de notre homme aussitot. Et depuis, ses voyages l'ont entraine de l'Allemagne il Hawaii. Cela ne lui fait oublier pour autant la gent feminine: Jeanne, Thea, Shirley, Catherina, Sue. Maintenant, c'est jo-Anne, joan, Tatiana.

Al was born in Souris, Manitoba on August 16, 1944, and for the next eighteen years followed his father's Air Force career quite closely, spending most of his time in Ottawa. Intrigued by the life he completed a busy and productive stint in high school and then gave his best to RMC. Here, he promptly joined the Match Rifle Team, becoming one of its top shots. At the same time he pursued a deep interest in music by joining the Pipes and Drums as a piper, climaving this career by becoming Pipe Major. It is also suspected that he keeps a clarinet in his room-perhaps to ward off snakes. Al is combining a course in Mathematics and Physics with an enduring friendship with the computer C ole 1620 D. As a result, the RCAE will gain an enterprising and promising Telecommunications Officer One of Al's ambitions, by the way, is to compose a symphony using a computer. Pretty soon, underground at North Bayg a red alert? will be a Burke Cacophony in C. Cwatch out DEVV linel D. His ready wit and motto: Keep Smiling , point the way to a happy future of many accomplishments. All the best for a fine career All G. B. H. 697i Upper R05tl1f3fn, Sagk, ' Lloyd was born in St. Thomas, Ontario, but left very shortly thereafter for the sunnier elimes of Upper Rosthern Saskatchewan. Learning to skate before he could walk, 'Zed' wielded a hockey stick for the local teams for many years, and was finally rewarded for his efforts with a Robin Hood Oats Trophy. Having heard of the internationally famous Royal Roads hockey team, our hero left for Victoria, where he led the hockey team, Fraser Flight, and the Calculus class lin that order.D Despite his enthusiasm for Mechanics, Lloyd made the big move to General Science early in his Second Year. Lloyd was an even greater success at RMC, where for two years he helped the senior Redmen to glory in Hockey, culminating his career with two goals in the 1966 lVest Point Game. He also carried two bars around on room inspections while pulling down some rather impressive marks. Lloyd has established some firsts at RMC - he was the first twenty-one year old to get the boot from the Manor, and he was the first President of the Leroy van Dyke Fan Club to occupy Fort Champlain. As one of the unsung heroes of the RCAE, a Tech!AE officer and the proud owner of a new Mustang, Lloyd evidently plans making the best of both worlds, and with his good nature, and determination, he can't miss. Bonne chance, Lloyd. R.G.W.E. 6844 JEREMY BRUFORD BUTLER Victoria, B.C. jerry was born in Brighton, England on the 16th of December, 1943. He spent his early days greying the hairs of his English schoolmasters. Realizing as the years went by, that this little island would not be big enough for him, he consulted his charts and set sail for North America. He settled in the small town of Oliver, B.C., and quickly learned the ways of the natives. ln 1961, jerry joined the Navy and was sent to CMR, where he began his transformation into an Officer and a Gentleman. At RMC he took up Chemical Engineering and achieved excellent results. Sailing is jerry's favourite sport and he was on the rep team while at RMC. During his summers with the Navy on the XVest Coast, jerry managed to combine tidal problems with bear hunting. Even during his blaekest hours, jerry can be heard whistling a few bars of his favourite tune, XVhen Irish Eyes Are Smiling. VVith his quick wit and ready smile, we are certain that he will have a most successful future. Best of Luck, jerry P.F.

6965 JAMES RICHARD BIRD Atikokan, Ont. jim, more commonly known as VVazo , entered the world on May 8, 1943 in Victoria, B.C. After spending most of his earlier days in several picturesque northern Ontario towns, the Waz found himself, in September 1962, travelling to Royal Roads and a career in the RCAF. At Roads jim was a prominent participant in all sports, being especially successful with the rep Soccer Team. His witty, often cynical, sense of humour, plus his tours as P.O,D., will be remembered by all of us for years to come. After a memorable summer at Moose jaw, the VVaz arrived at RMC, where he again enjoyed great success in all phases of athletics - not to mention the other activities he pursued. He was a member of the group which decided to shun the drabness of countless formulae for a closer look at Keynes and fellow economists. As a result of his hard work, he earned the position of C.S.C. this year, much to the horror of the first three years. We know your future will be bright, Waz, and we wish you the best of luck in- your endeavours. W!! Kelly joined the Borrowman clan on 26 February, 1944. From the very beginning he was . firmly attached to the clan which was at that time settled in Winnipeg, and followed it in an eastward trek that came to rest just short of Montreal-in Pointe Claire. By this time the clan had gained additional members and stood at seven: Matriarch, Patriarch, and five sons. Under the stern guidance of the Matriarch and Patriarch, Kelly was trained early in the gentle arts of bridge and wrestling. Day by day Kelly waxed bigger and stronger and one day he decided that it was time to set out on the great adventure of life. He joined the navy . . . I His first ship was HMCS Cartier of the CMR Squadron in St. jean, where he emerged from obilvion for numerous feats: he could tell the world's worst jokes without even trying, he could swim four hundred yards without even stoppingg he could save money, In the summers he travelled the surface of the earth fVVillhemshaven to VVaikiki on 5516 a week!! Bon voyage, Kelly and Penny. A 6963 RONALD ALBERT BERGERON Cornwall, Ontario Ron started his army career at Royal Roads, a long way from his hometown of Corn- wall. uSauf , as he is still called by many of his Roadent buddies, has always been an avid sports enthusiast. A few of the sports in which he has led teams to success are soccer, squash, wrestling, rugger and volleyball. An ardent hunter. Ron has enjoyed many weekends in the wilds as his tale-telling testifies. Yet in spite of his great love for sports and his enjoyment of sky- larks fthe most memorable of many he took part in being the permanent removal of the Isley monument at Roadsk, Ron has kept up in his choice to enter RCEME he will graduate as an electrical engineer. Ron's other big interest is in Ottawa. Many of the Bell's lines have been kept humming between RMC and St. Pat's. Ron's magnetic personality, fine sense of humour and many friends will ensure success in whatever he finally settles down to. We wish him all the best in the years to come. J- .I- F. N. A, 6824 DANIEL BOON Hemmingford, P.Q. On July 20, 1944, a babe was born in a log cabin and was given the appropriate name of Daniel Boon. Dan was born and bred a country boy, consequently he came to CMR as a fine upstanding youth with no vices. At CMR he soon discovered the fun one could have from life, and proceeded to make up for lost time. Dan's hobbies at RMC were making long-distance phone calls, writing poetry, and painting halls with selectone. ln sports Dan was one of the reliables on squadron teams, and in his Senior year he tried his arm at throwing the javelin for the College track team. After suffering through the first two years of CMR academics Dan joined the ranks of the Artsmen. NVith the change in courses came a change in Corps. Not wishing to leave Kingston, where he had trained with RCEME, he switched to the RC Sigs. To wish Dan luck is unnecessary, for with good luck or bad luck Dan will float through life seeking a peaceful and literary existence, XV.B.M. KELLY ALLEN BORROVVMAN Pointe Claire, P.Q. C.

6804 ALEXANDER CAMPBELL CALDER Fergus, Ont. Alex might be considered a southerner for he was born in Buenos Aires, in May, 1944, where he lived for eight years. That 'fcountry boy air is not a deception, however, for the rest of his school years were spent on a small farm on the Grand River, near Fergus Ont. Often he returns to that small farm, in fact, that is where he was the last time we failed to break through his reveries. During those years he distinquished himself in fields other than agrariarnln school he reached great heights in academics and in gymnastics. He also developed an overawing Schroeder complex with his little piano defending Beethoven in the process of reaching tenth grade with the Royal Conservatory of music in Toronto. Early in 1961, Alex washed his muddy hands in salt water to become a naval officer- cadet at CMR. During his years at CSC where French replaced Spanish as his second tongue, the recreation departments at CMR and RMC benefitted from his outstanding ability to organize. History became his maior COttawa his VVaterlooJ and the joys of the Nordic skiC?J were revealed to him not to mention the ioys of the obscure, no-glory athlete. 6753 ALBERT D. CALL MHIHYFIC, P-Q. Il m'est impossible d'imaginer quelqu'un qui ne connaisse pas ALBERT. Et ceci s'appli- que surtout aux gens de la Marine Canadienne et probablement aussi a l'amiral. Un marin tentant de couler son propre navire a droit a autant de consideration a mon avis. D'ailleurs ie me suis touiours demande pourquoi un ieune homme venant du pays des mines fMalartic7 avait choisi l'ocean comme avenir. Question de changer le mal de place probablement. Je connais Albert depuis pres de cinq ans deia et ie peux vous assurer que ie peux touiours m'attendre 5 tout de sa part. Personnellement, ie pense qu'il aime le risque et quiil est membre aetif du FAN-CLUB de Damocles Cvous connaissez le gars a l'epee?5 La course semble son sport favori ici au college. En effet, etant membre de l'equipe representative, il a touiours bien su se classer et ie crois que ceci est une belle preuve de caractere et d'endurance .de la part de d'ALBERT. En temps qu'eleve-officier au RMC Cles agents de Malartic le savent bienl il prefere se classer parmi les premiers en genie civil: probablement une autre de ses fantaisies. - ,Ie ne peux lui souhaiter que Ie meilleur succes possible pour l'avenir. V.F. G.M. 6896 IAN ROBERT CAMERON Kingston, Ont. Ian arrived at R.M.C. in September, 1962, by a rather eircuitous route. Born in foggy London on April 11, 1943, he promptly set out to explore the world. Passing through Canada, he stopped at such exotic places as Fort Churchill, Calgary, Ottawa, and Camp Borden, before returning once more to Europe, where he did stints in Germany, London again, Switzerland fwhere he got his Senior Matriculationl, and Gay Pareef' When his father came to Kingston in january, 1962, Ian followed shortly and settled at R.M.C. A natural Rifleman , Ian has been a stalwart of the Match Rifle Team for the last four years. Between such taxing occupations as playing softball, lacrosse, his Hi-Fi set, and lounging around the range, Ian has found time to take Electrical Engineering, from which he will graduate with a degree this spring. After this goal has been attained, Ian will return once more for a few months to the sandy stretches of Camp Borden, where he has amused himself the past two summers. This time, he will be sporting a colourful Infantry outfit. From there he will be going abroad again, probably to the beautiful Isle of Cyprus. We wish you every success in the future, Ian. 6972 BRIAN HOYT CAMPBELL Calgary, Alta. Born in Sarnia on December, 1944, young Brian went west to Calgary in 1950, Where he became a sensation in the 'LStampede a-go-go. BH found immediate popularity with the high-school set at VVestern Canada High, where he distinguished himself in many sports as well as academics. At Roads, Brian found a sport to suit his height and spread - soccer. He also found time to put the blades on for the 'lphantomv hockey squad. Always a happy-go-lucky type, Brian found that he had to contain his eccentrieities when he received the appointment of CSL. Having created much static in his brilliant young life, BH found that Electrical Engin- eering would best suit his capacities, and with his studies well tucked away, he put on a determined effort to take the uwatusi crown from Barry Go-Go Morris, the sweetheart of the Cadet Yless Pep ermint Ioun e In the last fexx months however, this dynamic PCI'- sonality has been the plfoperty of a Sretty and also dynamic feimale. VVith two years of RMC soccer and an Engineering degree, Brian promises to be as big an asset to the RC Sigs as he has been to RMC. Many in the class of '66 will be sad to leave him behind in Kingston, but BH seems to have found the proper environment and we ' 'e be ' e May wish him all the best in the future. ' G. W. M. rf iiifiiila J. s. T. 6897 DAVID MURRAY CAMPBELL Kingston, Ont. Dave was born in the United States, he has lived and gone to school in the Kingston area. His local knowledge was very useful to other cadets in such matters as getting dates and organizing parties. He ioined the Service College system at RMC, where he drove the body for 4 Squadron for three years. He played goalie in squadron lacrosse and earned a reputation as one of the ablest members of the rifle team. He won an ''outstanding-athlete award for his ability with the match rifle.
