Lynx II, hull # 4225

[Peter Duggan]

Guys,

I was prepping the Lynx for this weekend's FMVA Bivouac and decided it was time to give the Lynx a name, in the same unofficial way that the crews frequently did.

I chose to recognize Giorgio Conforti, the gentleman who had the foresight to rescue the Lynx from a scrapyard and who in turn was quite enthusiastic to see the Lynx return to Canada.

His three sons, who are now young men, used the Lynx as a playground as young boys are wont to do. They ended up calling the Lynx, "Mita", which I understand to be a term of endearment, that was also used for their grandmother.

I have attached a picture of Giorgio and his three sons on the Lynx, when I first saw her.

Peter
