On Remembrance Day, like many of us, i think of my parents, both veterans, my two grandfathers, also veterans, and the many parents of my childhood friends, most of whom were veterans.
I also think of Mr. Rumble, my grade 10 teacher, not sure which subject. He was the only ww1 veteran i had as a teacher, or at least i think so. I remember him as a polite and articulate man, and he seemed so old. Younger than i am now i expect.
Thank you one and all for being role models for all of us.

Mrs. Reid, my Grade 4 teacher at Greenwood School, And teacher to many of us, served in the Canadian Women's Army Corps during WW2. The Canadian Women's Army Corps was a non-combatant branch of the Canadian Army for women established during the Second World War to release men from those non-combatant roles in the Canadian armed forces as part of expanding Canada's war effort. Most women served in Canada but some served overseas. My mother also served in the CWAC. I posted a Special Edition on the web site a few years ago entitled "Snaps & Scraps of my Service Days" if anyone is interested to know more about the CWAC during WW2.
