<strong>RICHARD</strong> <strong>ALLEN</strong> <strong>SCOTT</strong><br />

THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

Near Carmel-by-<strong>the</strong>-Sea<br />

Yosemite National Park<br />

Went to visit Tim in<br />

California again<br />

and saw a load<br />

more sights.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> Fall, we took a trip to B.C. to visit friends and to attend a<br />

Regimental Ball in Whistler, staying at my sister Christine’s<br />

chalet.<br />

In September, Robyne went with her<br />

‘new boy’, Geoffrey Drover, back to<br />

his parent’s home in Newfoundland<br />

to meet <strong>the</strong>m for <strong>the</strong> first time.<br />

Sharon had her first knee<br />

replacement this year, right before I had my ‘incident’, mentioned<br />

below. Incision was about a foot long, with over 30 staples. I had<br />

to play doctor and give her anti-rejection injections every day.<br />

At <strong>the</strong> end of October, we had a bit of a scare with me and<br />

Angina. I was having some discomfort, so <strong>the</strong> doc sent me for a<br />

stress test. I failed. Went directly by ambulance to <strong>the</strong> Heart<br />

Institute in Ottawa where <strong>the</strong>y inserted one stent in “<strong>the</strong><br />

widowmaker”. I was freed on <strong>the</strong> 3 rd day. Have been fine ever<br />

since.<br />

Josée found<br />

herself in a great<br />

Government job,<br />

as a transcriber in<br />

<strong>the</strong> RCMP. So,<br />

we’ve now got two<br />

of <strong>the</strong>m in one<br />

family pulling in<br />

<strong>the</strong> big bucks, and<br />

both with<br />

pensions and<br />

medical coverage.<br />
