I was in Moise Quebec from 67-69 for grades 1 and 2. Can't remember the PMQ # but our kitchen window faced the St. Lawrence River and our backyard went down the hill to the guard house. Well in 97 I had an opportunity to revisit the base. While on tour with Susan Aglukark, we were doing a show in Sept-Isle. I had some time off so I rented a car and drove to the base. Man, it was like stepping back in time. Most of it was still there although the houses were privately owned and the Fire Hall where my Dad worked was closed up I think. My Mom worked in the mess hall but I didn't lnow where that was. Both schools were still standing but boarded up. I remember the big helicopters with 2 props would land in the field between the 2 schools and amaze us as little kids. We actually went and saw a Tommy Hunter show with Al Churney and the Rhythm Pals, with Peggy Lee as the opening act. I have a pic of our family with Al Churney after the show. I have a lot of pics I will scan and post either here or at our Family website at http://www.members.tripod.com/~AABUSSE/index.html
...lots of memories, lots of stories, but when I looked at Google Earth today I could not find much left of Moise. Unless I was looking in the wrong spot. Any one know?

I remember the Tommy Hunter Tour. Along with Al Cherney and the Rhythm Pals, and Barabara Kelly, Miss Canada 1967 came to play for us in Decimomannu Sardinia.
