Brock and I were close friends for 43 years. We were Air Force Communications Operators when we first met at 731 Communications Squadron, Shilo, in 1971.
Brock and I worked together in the Facility Control Centre and on the "mobile radio detachment". Brock was promoted to Master Corporal almost a year before me and actually became my "boss" for a while. He never let it affect our friendship and was an excellent NCO. As amateur radio operators we talked to each other bi-weekly for many years first using Morse Code and then voice after Brock obtained his "Advanced" licence. Brock was a talented videographer, woodworker, "Jack of all trades", "picture manipulator" and a true friend. I will really miss him.
73 old friend. .-.-.
