Geoff,
I don’t know if you received my email, I sent it a few days ago. I would love to see any items that you may have from your fathers time in Canada, you can sent them as a reply to the email. Thank you for sharing your fathers service. I am sure there are other family members out there that would love to see mementos your father brought back.
