I interviewed Fred Graham back in 1988 at his home in Vancouver. The same home he lived in while working at 24 EFTS Abbotsford all those years ago. The wings presented were small enamel token wings with 24 EFTS on them and are not much bigger than a nickel. I have two of these pins in my collection.
Thank you for this little gem. Had to reread the page to figure out where Fred Graham fit in… I added his first name. Thank you.
