You're Top Poster: #126   | Cheers Hello all from deepest, darkest Nova Scotia. My name is Wayne and I have been a student of Second World War history since childhood. 28 years service as a Reserve Army Infantryman (8 yrs out), had the honour of serving in four different distinguished Infantry Units scattered across the country as I moved here and there following the usual, (jobs, women). I settled here in Truro NS in '91 with my wife Tara, son Connary, and dog Ceilidh. I hope to continue my learning process here in your Forum and at the same time contribute to same. Cheers |

You're Top Poster: #3  | Welcome again Wayne. Look forward to your posts. Love the dogs name. Do you take him for walks on the trail or did you find him there. Maybe a Scottish connection?

I picked her up here in Truro about seven years ago after she was abandoned. She has kind of a Husky/Sheppard/Border Collie thing going on. But by far the best pet I've ever owned. Thanks for the invite to the site, I'll lurk for a little while to get a feel for the atmosphere here, and then I'll jump in. Siol Na Fear Fearail Cheers Wayne | |
