Thank You readers – volunteers – sponsors – partners…

Over the past seven years or so during this season, we have taken time out to show our appreciation to a large host of people. This is our 334th edition since our modest start back in January, 2005. We are still very much enjoying the experience; our aim has always been to work hard in making sure that the “next” edition will be the best one yet!

Without further ado, we would like to thank: Club Executive & Club staffersMary Darlington & Linda Mathieu have been consistent supporters day in and day out. The rapport from the recently departed Club Executive Director, Mike Rostek, was much appreciated too.

Victoria Edwards continues to impress us and a whole host of readers with her timely and professional articles week after week. She is definitely a star performer and her recent articles on past Presidents of the Club speak for themselves.

Proof reading support from Al Pickering with the Bill McColl 1950s diary, in particular, helps us keep that professional edge.

Capitaine Éric Le Marec, Officier des Affaires Publiques du CMR Saint-Jean, nous a tenus très bien informés des événements du Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean au courant de la dernière année.

Our Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year Awards go to Mike Shewfelt. He has become our go-to-guy for articles and photos from the peninsula. Also, the Class Notes section has been his focus for the past number of months and he never fails to come up with gems every Issue. He has done it all with grit and grace at all hours of the day and night. Some weeks all seven days!

Paul Lystiuk has been a valuable behind the scenes helper with layout, editing and a host of other mundane but necessary tasks that ensures we sustain a first-class look.

A very pleasant surprise is the emergence of four, I Year cadets who have stepped up and provided well written and informative articles: Claire Matlock who has provided technical assistance too; Kyra Smith; Danielle Andela; and Christopher Wright have all helped make e-Veritas what it is in 2012. We are hoping that they and other like-minded cadets continue to feed us such high quality articles for a long time.

We continue to expand our business approach. After all, bills have to be paid! Below we have listed just about everyone who stepped up, opened their pocketbooks and helped us out. We look to at least triple that number for 2013. Beat us to the punch and be a 101 sponsor in 2013!

We will be contacting many of you for support during the coming year.

This Issue #49 is our last for 2012.

For those who like us who celebrate the birth of Christ – Merry Christmas. To the rest – Happy Holidays!

Look for e-Veritas 1 / 2013 in early January.

Bill & Rolande Oliver
