Donald served 3 active years of Army service in Holland & England during WW II, re-enlisted in 1948 with the Canadian Airforce and dedicated himself for 27 years at which point retiring was not in his future.

This time retirement was at Salt Spring Island with the eagles, squirrels & deer where Donald and Elaine enjoyed many years on the waterfront before finally settling down to where it all began 60 years ago. Crescent Beach.
