I've always been fascinated by the Gloster Gladiator's role in WW2. Depending on who you read, it was the ultimate development of the biplane fighter. What occurs to me is if you were going to design a biplane fighter now how different would it be from the Gladiator?

I sent a friend to investigate DWE and the last thing he did was send me this pic via WhatsApp. That was last night and I've heard a thing since.

DKW and an Auto Union...not quite sure how they made it to Canada. I love the Auto Union coupe, but I'd be tempted to go for an engine swap.

A little bit of Waterloo lore. Years ago there was a great tragedy. I'm surprised there isn't at least a memorial plaque somewhere.

I've been noticing a lot of strange people around campus. They look odd and seem to communicate using clicking noises. Has anyone else seen them?

An acquaintance of mine buys damaged, derelict vehicles to part out. At one location there were late model cars but the seller included three vintage cars...in a real barn. A 1967 Ford Custom sedan, a 1968 Chevelle sedan and a 1976 Ramcharger.

I stumbled across these recently. Anyone else think that these should be included in the Frosh Kit? Imagine how helpful these would be during the long, dark, cold, depressing winter days that we have 5 months of. The campus would be a cavalcade of lights.

A poster of WW2 aircraft I had signed by many aces, including Douglas Bader, Adolf Galland, Stan Turner and another one I can't decipher. One of my prized possessions.

Red-haired Chinese girl who regularly studies on the end of this rocky promontory on Columbia Lake, you so fine.

Huge musky from Manitou Lake

This pic randomly appeared on my generally dormant FB feed yesterday. Apparently it was caught in Manitou Lake on Manitoulin Island in 1984. 56 pounds 7 ounces! I'd never seen this pic before.

I found an old roll of developed film in my dad's desk (he passed away a few years ago, and was born in '26). I am trying to guesstimate where and when these were taken. IDing the car in the foreground would help.

Okay Jacksonville, help us out here. Here a recording of a young woman from Jacksonville performing a rockabilly song in 1958. She probably went to Paxon HS. Anyone know who she is and what became of her?
