My condolences to you Herb, on losing your good friend George.
With Herb's permission I am posting this photo of Herb and George Blackburn at an event.

Hi carmen
That picture of George and Herb was taken in Coe Hill on Warriors day of 2005..about three months before George had his stroke.
Here is a picture of George ,taking the salute as he passed the reviewing stand at the same day's parade ..
I wrote up an article in Convoy magazine on the events of the weekend and took some extra copies to George in the Hospital on Rememberance Day ,Nov.11 2005..
I was pleased when he signed my copy.."To Alex from your friend,George Blackburn" 11 Nov 2005..
I shall treasure my time with George..a true Canadian hero,and friend..
