Allan about a
year and a half
|
Not much older
there but
he loved being outside
|
Always happy,
about 2
|
Allan in first
grade.
|
10 years old,
the only school
picture I have. All the other got lost.
|
Allan got a new
bike. Only had it a few days and it got stolen, Allan searched everywhere and found it at another street behind a house.
|
Allan always wanted
to be in the
army, and here he is at Cornwallis, studying as hard as can be. Never gave up
but was
very lonely at times
|
Allan practicing
and more practising, and of course studying. Pressing his own clothes and shining shoes
|
The day arrived
for the final parade and getting all dressed up
|
I did it, finally
after weeks and months, this precious certificate
|
He look so smart,
I was so proud of him. He was not allowed to smile on parade but he did when he saw me
|
The war memorial
|
While in Israel
he had to try on an Arabian costume. One of the best pictures I think
|
A serious photograph
|
Allan was serving
for the UN, he went to Haiti as well, he didn't like it much out there
|
Allan was a driver
of anything and won many awards
|
Wearing a new
award
|
Also an award
for teaching motor cycle courses. Allan, Edna and I got our license at the same time
|
This one is for
a many hours teaching motor bike courses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allan always had
a love for motor bikes and goes with a club out riding all the time.
|
Fearless Allan,
touching a bear. Everybody has a likeness somewhere
|
Allan in St. Albert,
he was living
there at the time
|
Allan with another
bike, I think he took me on a tour around town on that one
|
Allan visiting
Ted and I in Chatham, Ontario
|
Allan in a beautiful
nursery in Edmonton. I was visiting him at the time. Lovely city.
|
Allan was working
for a bus company as collision analyst, he has his certificate for that. He loved it.
|
Here he is taking
his own picture. Not smiling again either.
|
Allan at Edna's
in Kitchener with a macaw named Rico, only liked men. Could talk a blue streak
|
Allan on and,
with a mighty red wood tree, I think, they don't have to be cut down to die
|
Allan had a tattoo put on his shoulder, a griffin, his other
name
|
Allan was an Instructor at the Canadian Traffic Education Center in Edmonton, Alberta, at this time
|
Edna and Dave
took Allan and I and the girls to this lodge, we had a great time. You don't look very comfortable Allan
|
Allan took up
another hobby playing guitar, has not made a recording yet though
|
Allan's latest
bike, looks nice, 1100 ?
|
Allan found a
new love Linda
Powers came on the scene.
|
Linda Marie Powers A widow with two children Linda and Bobby were
at the family
reunion last summer
|
Linda with her
2 daughters, Sherrilynn and Bobby
|
Allan and Linda,
these two are now partners. I wish them all the best
|
Linda, she likes
the outdoors I think. It was nice to meet her
|
Allan in Kitchener
at his sisters wedding, Linda could not come.
|
Allan finally
found what he has been looking for, a family of his own.
|
Bobby with her
new dog, need
the name,
Allan peeking over her shoulder
|
Allan clean
shaven, I like it, makes him look younger
|
Changed pictures. Can't decide which
I like
better.
|
Allan and Linda,
very much outdoors people.
|
The three of
them. Allan set the timer I think.
|
Allan, Linda
and Bobby sightseeing and enjoying their vacation in Ontario.
