Remembrance Day
I’ve rarely missed a November 11th. When I was going to
Saint- Jérôme, I would leave all by myself; I would take a day’s
leave, and come to the Cenotaph. That was always very important
for me. If you’ve lost – I think about that sometimes – a loved
one in your family, who really helped you out in your life,
and who died, you occasionally go to the cemetery;
there are people who do that. It’s kind of like that for me,
you know? My father, he got me out of a fix. I owe him for that.
My buddy in the service, y’know, he was there.
Maybe it’s kind of that, too. My little sister who died in my
arms is in the cemetery in Masson, so when I go through there
[inaudible]. . . It’s just a thought. I talk to her, you know?
It’s kind of . . . an event that happens in your life, like at
the front or in the navy and well, you think about it.
