A bunch of the boys were whooping it up.......

[Alex Blair (RIP)]

That famous line will apply tonight at Grace O'Mally's pub on Ogilvie Rd in Ottawa tonight starting at 5:00 PM or 17:00 Hrs for those that prefer...
The sun is over the yard arm at that time and our own historian ,Mark Tonner, is in town doing research ...so it is the ROT-ters(Rusty Old Truckers) prime objective to initiate visitors on the straight and narrow at Gracies when visiting the Nations Capital..
All, as usual ,are invited to come for some chat and whatever and we would like to give Mark a big welcome..
So come one ,come all..
Tuesday,June27th,5:00 PM.

Garry...

Why would "Constable Eric Booth,Ontario Provincial Police" be interested in a fun loving,group such as us...after all there is NO bad stuff going on...he is only out to catch bad guys...
He is of course invited,and knowing Eric,if he makes the "Gather up" will be in there "shovelling" with the best of us...
Hope he makes it..
Now if you were there......

Gunner..
May have to pass on that ,have a duty run in the morning and have to go to a funeral on Thursday morning for an old friend and maybe the afternoon on WEd if you are going to be there but not going if you aren't there..Afternoon would be the only possibility.
You missed the parade at Gracies tonight but it was a spur of the moment thing and only had a quick post on the forum to announce...But there will be more..

[Mark W. Tonner]

Gentlemen;

It was good to put a face to a name and have some great down to earth shop talk..... . Although my visit was short, I plan on being back in August, so we'll have to do it again.

Your hospitality was much appreciated, looking forward to when we can all get together again.

Sorry fellow MLU'ers, no photos were taken... this was to protect the innocent.....besides, everyone was to busy talking shop to take any........

Cheers
