   Hi Dennis      I went to Algonquin College many years ago...in fact it was   
   so long ago , it wasn't even called Algonquin. Back then it was called   
   Ontario Vocational Centre. I always hated that name because it sounded like   
   a reform school. That's probably why they changed it   
      
      
      
   .

   Not to make you feel bad but a couple weeks ago , a formation of 4 Harvards   
   flew directly over our house here in London. In fact they made several   
   passes and the last one was the missing man formation. They were obviously   
   honouring someone but I don't know who. If there's anything better than the   
   sound of a radial engine with it's supersonic prop tips , it's the sound of   
   4 radials . The sounds come in waves as they go in and out of phase with   
   each other. Magnificent!!!
