From Monty & Gwen
This is the apprentice rifle team of 1957. Unfortunately I don't remember
all the names.

This was a visit to the seaway project, and the building of
the
hydro-electric dam by 9 & 10 Plt apprentices in the fall of 1956. We had
Senior apprentice NCO's along but I am not sure if the whole school attended
or not. Maybe someone out there can expand on this. After graduating from
the apprentices, the next (and last) time I saw Lt. Cooper he was a Major
in 4 field wksp, Germany. The last I heard, apprentice Cpl Ray Manning
was a Lt/Col. any news on where or how he is doing now?
