There were problems sending out the e-mail version so if you did not received a copy or received more than one copy please accept our apologies. Don Ross has all of the e-mailing addresses on his computer and normally sends out the newsletter but he was away this time and I did it. Don sent me the addresses but I had trouble getting them into an address book in a format that would work. If you did not receive a copy and would like one please e-mail Don Ross.

Thursday, April 17, 2008. Annual Spring Noon Luncheon at the Britannia Yacht Club. Details to be sent out soon so please keep this date open..

Thursday, April 24, 2008. Mr Ernie Brown will be returning to speak to us on "The Battle of the Atlantic" which he personally experienced while serving in the merchant marine during which time he was twice torpedoed. Friends will recall that Ernie spoke to us earlier in the year on the topic entitled "Radio Waves Across The North". This talk is very timely as it immediately precedes Battle of Atlantic Sunday.

Friends will want to know that Colin Franklin was recently honoured at an Engineering Institute of Canada Awards Gala with the award of the prestigious Julian C. Smith Medal that was instituted in 1939 to perpetuate the name of a Past President of the Institute. It is awarded for "Achievement in the Development of Canada". In his speech of acknowledgement, Colin remembered the important contributions of John Chapman, Eldon Warren, Keith Brown and John Mar in the context of the Alouette program. Congratulations, Colin!

Apart from a back row appearance in one group photograph, pictures of Eldon Warren seem to be hard to come by. If any friend has a good photograph of Eldon, could you please let us know at crcfriends@igs.net.

Editor’s Note:

We have not been including retirements in the newsletter because the timing has not been right. This one works out very well. Any comments?
