As a member of the Class who entered RMC in 1954, I would like to mention two members who entered that year and became lawyers. Their biographies may be found in the book of our class written by General Howie Wheatley when we entered the Old Brigade in 2004. No. 4150 Nigel Frawley left RMC…

Most interesting to read the profile on 1814 Elliot Rodger who entered RMC in 1924 and graduated in 1928. I have heard the name all my life but have never actually met him. He was a classmate of my Father’s. For quite a few years there were just three left – 1800 Molson, 1801 Morres,…
Gotcha!
Gotcha! All in good fun… The RMC Parade Square is not to become a year round parking lot but our “breaking news” got many talking. We received close to 200 e-mails during the first 24 hours. They were pretty well evenly split three ways. 1/3 realized it was a joke; 1/3 were not sure; and…

I must say how much I am enjoying this very professional publication. I am from a military family and considered attending RMC in 1972. Unfortunately. I did not wish to become an engineer. Today there are very broad academic options at RMC. As a result, my oldest son is in first year, my middle son…

With Change Comes Opportunity Whoa, 2008 finished with a bang! I sold my half of IJ Solutions to Ian Miller and have begun 2009 as an independent. For anyone that has started their own company, you know that this sort of event does not go by unnoticed. So, before I go any further, I want…

I wrote this article in order to explain, in laymen’s terms, what an Engineer is and what we are responsible for in my industry. I often hear wails of discontent coming from trades people who have been made to comply with project specifications, etc. to which they may have taken a dislike. For the most…

I read the “bomber command” article in your last publication and I must admit that I am not completely versed in the background of the article. However, my father, George Wissler, was a bombardier with 424 Squadron and flew 34 combat missions over Europe in Halifax and Lancaster aircraft, 1944 through 1945. On many of…
