Moffat Oct. 9/70 17th Field Reg. 17th FIELD REGIMENT REUNION CANDID PHOTOS
ALL THE WAY from Montebello, Calif., to attend the 17th Field reunion in Portage is Toby Colpitts, at right, originally from the Thunder Bay area. With him are former Portager Sid Matthews, left, and Lloyd (Jiggs) Hyde of Portage, as they recall the happenings of 25 to 30 years ago. “I SEEM TO REMEMBER . . .” – Many an experience is being exchanged at the 17th Field reunion in Portage this weekend. Here H. E. (Hawk-Eye) Brown, at right, first Commanding Officer of the unit does a little reminiscing with Frank Whent of White River, Ont. Maybe Frank’s wife Buddy, is learning a few things she didn’t know before.
