Steve good to hear from you, last I heard you were living in Madoc or Mamora or something like that.
Where are you now? Its funny I was just looking at some pictures of us in the trailers in Calgary, it seems like a lifetime age. How goes it with you?
Bob
Bob,
Heather and I are still in Saint John. Well the suburbs. We’ve been here since my release.
I’ve been in the Fire Department for 29 years. I’m eligible to retire next month but will likely stay for a few more years.
I’ve made contact with some of the old crew from Calgary via Facebook. It’s nice to look back an reminisce.
Bob,
Congratulations on your retirement. You have had a long and storied career. Thank you for your service to this great country. Enjoy your time, you have earned it. Best wishes from Heather and I. I
Steve how the heck are you and Heather? I heard that you were a Firefighter in St John. I tried to look you up a couple of times when I was down there for my folks funerals, my brother still lives there.
I usually get to St John once a year to check up on him and head to our cottage in PEI. Shoot me some contact info and I will get in touch pass that on to Steve B as well I just replied to him and forgot to put that in. I’m not on FB but my wife is. Great to hear from you it was a long time ago
Here is my work email for the next month [email protected]
Hope to hear from you guys.
Bob
Bob,
Heather and I are well. Yes I’ve been with the Fire Department for 29 years now. Probably hang around for a few more. Not on the rigs anymore so life is less physical.
My email is [email protected]. Give me a shout next time your in the area. We can get together for dinner or a coffee.
Bob, Congratulations on a long career. Steve Voutour and I have tried to find you on FB. Would love to hear from you
