John,

 Just got into the RMC, and class website.  I was inquiring about the ex-cadet weekend, and class reunion.  I'm planning to attend, but I also saw that you don't have an e-mail address for me.  I use this for personal stuff.  Work (Air Canada)e-mail is ebekeris@aircanada.ca, and military (reserve/ 400 THS) mail278t@dnd.ca
 
I've already sent note to Andre, Chuck, and Kerry that I intend to attend the ex-cadet weekend, and class reunion.
 
See you there.

Hi Rocky,
    It's been about 2 and a half years since my last update so I thought I'd drop you another line.  You may recall that my plan after leaving the military in 1997 was to open a used/new CD store in Kingston.  Well, that has indeed happened.  I opened my doors at 337 Princess St. on 2 Aug 99 and was promptly sued over the name of the store (CD Warehouse).  My franchisor, based in the US, had assured me there would be no problem despite my repeated warnings.  The franchisor, smelling defeat, settled out of court and then paid all of my legal bills and costs to convert to my new name, "CD Exchange," and rightfully so.  Catchy name, isn't it?  After a very tense first eight months where I lost a lot of weight and some sleep, things have been steadily improving.  In fact, this month (Aug 01) we broke our sales record for the second month in a row.  I'm continuing to have a lot of fun and I'm really enjoying working with my sons, who I employ on a part time basis to help fund their post secondary studies.
    I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again at the upcoming Ex-Cadet Weekend.  My plan is to hand out noseflutes at the meet and greet on Friday night so, if you want one, you'd better be there.  That's it for now.  See you at the end of September.  Note my new e-mail address.

  Hey Rocky.  I continue to return to your home page to catch up on the old Gang - as usual, you've got the market cornered on quality information for the class! We're connected through the Maritime Air community at work, so I thought that I would take this opportunity to add my e-mail address and contact information to the list that is evolving through your Class Notes. I will be continuing to provide air support to the Navy of the east from my vantage point overlooking the Halifax harbour until 2002.  Life is :-)

Got JOM's reunion message from Laurie Kane. To be honest, I thought I'ld left all this behind ages ago but Laurie has been giving me the hard-sell on this reunion, so ...
Before anything else, I want to say that I'm totally impressed with all the work you've done. Thanks.
Next, I guess this means I should actually stay in touch and put myself on a mailing list:

Home: dauchapt@home.com

Work:  HDAuchapt@scor.com

(I'm more likely to see my email sooner at work. And just in case you're curious, SCOR Canada is the local subsidiary of a French reinsurer ... and my French is still the pits).

Looking forward to seeing the (old?) faces and hearing a few stories over a good scotch or 2.

ciao
Henry

Now I'm going to have to find my grad ring and hope to hell I haven't thrown out my recruit manual. "TDV" seems to ring a bell but...

Now working for Ralph Klein, developing software for the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. Still in Edmonton, enjoying the low(er) taxes. Primarily developing applications usingPowerBuilder and SQL Server. Enjoying it thoroughly. Ran into Ivan Sawchuk (Roadent 71-73) here; other than that, haven't seen any 'old boys' in eons.

Cheers!

...been keeping track of the site Rocky and it's nice to see the guys starting to 'check in' before the 25th. The 10th was pretty O.K., the 20th was super but this year, well, it can't help but be absolutely great. Also it was super that Andre has set us up at the same motel. Van Beek, Lazenby, Bucholtz and I are already booked at the Days Inn. Thanx.

By way of a 'who's doing what'... After three very, very busy years as Director of Cadets, I have accepted an offer to be the Canadian Forces Attaché to Scandinavia. Gwen and I will commence Norwegian language training in August 2001 and will move to Oslo in August of 2002. From what I hear we will be very busy doing 'business' in Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.

See ya in September.

Rick
