Hello Ian, and thanks for the wishes, as it was warm today, if you
mean the - whatver single digits, but then I spent time on the
phone with Maria, as well preparing dinner.

Thats what is happening here, in a few with the temps going 11c
and rain they say. Far cry from this really brutal stuff
from the Arctic. The problem, and I think it is world WX
patterns being changed by this or that event, that our WX
is different then normal. The Lake is always passed the point
free of ice, and only this freak Arctic air mass, caused the
lake to freeze over. Way passed the freeze up date.

I thought that General De Gaulle had a double, gee he needed
one for all the risks, especially with German snipers walking
down the main street when Free French troops were entering
Paris.

I remember the film Ian.

I only know of his contributions to the war effort, and his
tactics and that he wrote books on tactics, some used on him
so a great chance to show also counter tactics.
When he was President he was head of the Party named after him
but I never hear too much about the party now.

An interesting period, and I thought they found him, and he is
now buried in a chemical dumpsite in or near the town of
Makellberg or something like that ... I any case he is gone.

I guess all my family knows of it. My father never told me a
thing really, not clearly, but I knew a lot was on his mind, over
issues he read in the paper ...but could not respond due to the
Official Secrets Act. I signed the one here in Canada,
and because of dealings with my family, and in case anyone of them
said anything, I also signed on with UK's Secrets Act.
It is so hard on the rest of the family when a member of, has this
burden to bear, and no one to talk it over with.

My cousin that just passed, was the last one of our family in the
service, and I have some great pictures from the fleet, but then
he took that road and disappeared for long periods, so ... thats
all we knew of him. I saw him one time over here for a visit,
and information, and then a few years later...he looked like he
had aged more then me and in worst health, then he passed away.
I have many questions because of the Act, and his position.... so
this act goes two ways, and just makes it easy to say all under
the Secrecy Act...and done.
OK Ian...stay warm. Maria says hello from BRASIL, where nice
and warm, and T-Storms are timed to come at a set time and end,
which is great.
