Kingston Ontario,
In Kingston we had a lot of help from the local C.A.V. unit, headed up by there president Jim Buffet and his wife Brenda. I had contacted Jim the week before at work and he made arrangement to have a few unit members show up at very short notice.
Jim and his wife Brenda let me park the Blue Bomber in their laneway for the night and we had coffee in the morning and some good conversation.
We had a good rally with a complimentary tour of the signal museum and rode a small tour around Kingston that afternoon. We then rode to a C.A.V. members sixtieth birthday celebration in the country and then headed over to the legion in Kingston where I had a chance to talk to a couple of veterans for future interviews. I parked the bus in the Legion Parking lot but could not stay to long because this trip was a trial run for the Blue Bomber. She performed dutifully and thank goodness we have a sponsor for the gas by Jerry’s Journey’s from Cambridge Ontario. Thank you to the entire Van Dyke family for helping the “Online Veterans Video Library” a reality.
