The
Standard presentation was preceded by a Meet & Greet which was held on the
17th of June at the Auberge de 21 in La Baie, a ten-minute ride from the base.
We had a good turnout, and the intermingling of past and present Tigers was
the call of the day. Many of our photo albums were on display and many a
"Kodak" moment was re-lived as we poured over the albums. Fang made
a personal appearance, well more like a Fang impersonator, in the guise of
Clement Paquet. Nice costume Clem.
On a
personal level, it was great to meet many of you and to observe the unique
kinship that Tigers have for one another. The food featured local delicacies
such as pate du canard smoke salmon and cheeses. But the real party took place
at the officers' mess the following evening. The mess decorated with black and
yellow balloons and ribbons also was graced by the presence of Fang. Again
several pieces of memorabilia from the past was on display, with an emphasis
on the Gulf and Kuwait War. A buffet style supper featuring a choice of
melt-in -your-mouth roast beef or chicken breasts stuffed with mozzarella
cheese and all the fixings, fine wines and an exquisite desert. No cigar
though……ah the good ole' days.
