Members Past & Present

A very rare photo of yours truly ( I prefer to be the other side of the camera lens), here with management:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: with the Athabasca falls in Jasper National Park in Canada as backdrop, taken in 2014 whilst on holiday.

On Saturday 9th July we are flying out to Calgary for a revisit to western Canada for 2 weeks - can't wait ( this holiday has been on hold since 2019).
Been very busy at work (FM for an Academy Trust with four school sites to look after) making sure that all the projects we have on the go at the moment can continue in my absence ( new kitchen floor and remove/replace kitchen units, remove redundant floor level gas pipes, plus repaint the room in one site and replace garage roof including removal of asbestos at another). Next week will be full on to make sure I can rest easy before I go and will help to make this holiday so rewarding.

I went to Basic at Lackland in '76.
Then on to Witchita Falls - Azores and Norton AFB SoCal.
Did some TDY in Wiesbaden and Travis AFB.
Who knows maybe we crossed paths some time. :cool:

Welcome aboard, Curt. I spent some time in San Antiono, way back in the 1980s.

"Environmental Scientist" sounds interesting. What, exactly, is that?
