My Dad came back from the war to Scotland and there was nothing much going on for him there. He came to Canada with 10 bucks in his pocket with me and my mother, and went on to a great and prosperous life here. He is still alive at 84 and sharp as a tac. He was the Plant Manager of a Westinghouse plant here and retired from there 26 years ago. He was in the Royal navy and I think he would die laughing if he saw Sea Patrol. His sister is still alive in Australia. We got a call from them on Christmas Eve about 20 years ago, and I remeber it was over 100 degrees there at that time. We are in the dead of winter then.
I will pass on your impressions of the show. I heard through the grapevine that in the next season ET has left the service and is diving for a living on an oil rig, and turns up dead. That should be interesting.
Thanks for the feedback
