Wanted: Somone travelling from the East thru to Manitoba

[Rick DeBruyn]

Sorry Rob I can’t help you with the transport of the paint…but thought I should set the record straight on a couple “cross border posts” …For the record, The historical items were subject to the mandatory cross-border removal 120 day waiting/cooling down period, this was strictly adhered to. The official appeal process that was offered to the aggrieved locals went unchallenged. So as such… All required permits were issued by the authorized (westerly bound material/items) permit officer, on duty in Shilo (permit #7625683).

More photos of officer found here; http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...t=rick+debruyn
You will find the permit officer happily assisting with loading and removal.

I can't believe they were able to photograph Rob! He usually is pretty good at avoiding the camera. He must have been very tired at that moment. Most of the Prairie Command photo's over the years are of Rob's hand covering the shot. The photo of Rob just standing there is more rare than the Field Artillery Tractor body that was found! Well done.
Derk.

Hey, if I was foolish enough to let (ney,even assist) the poaching of an artillery shell from the province, then the photo is a minor thing in comparison.

Perhaps someone slipped something into my drink that day.

I am starting to get nervous about this entire upcoming operation...permits or not, that Manitoba seems like a lawless land with roving bands of MV bandidos demanding pesos in exchange for safe passage...just look at those pictures...who would trust any of those ruffians? I may need backup!

[Peter Phillips]

PM sent Rob. This just may happen next week!

[rob love]

So in discussions with Peter, it may well happen. We'll see how much room he has in the backseat of his car.

Will advise, so thanks to the others who have offered, but stand down for now.

Of course, even the max paint available from Brian right now will only satisfy our hunger for a very short period of time.

Looks like we are going to have some paint parties!! ...I cant wait.
Thanks Peter, for making things happen.
