Default Welcome Chris

Hello Chris,

Welcome to the MLU Forum and thank you for your posting. It is nice to have contact with Peter's family.

Your father was one of the true pioneers of the CMP hobby and you have every reason to be proud of him. He was most helpful to me when I was first getting involved and I was trying to find a HUP to buy. We wrote and spoke many times and on 2 occasions he spent a day here in Oshawa with Barry Churcher and me. The last time was on the trip just before his death. I will try to locate some photos of him that were taken then.

He certainly had a love of history. On his last trip he was particularly interested in taking pictures of Camp 30, the WWII German prisoner of war camp in Bowmanville. He said he had thousands of photographs he had taken all across the country.

That is very good news about your locating the CMP 84 Seminar tapes and offering to share them with Keith.

Best regards to you and Elizabeth.

Brian
