Wilfred was down to where he was born Louisbourg a few years ago. It brought back many memories. I took him to the fortress where he lived and he said it never changed Since he was a child. He never forgot his trip to cape Breton he talked about it many times.He talked to Clark every week to find out was going on. Wilfred may you RIP
