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

THROUGH THE YEARS<br />

With Christine and Mum at<br />

Niagara Falls – Nov 10, 1957<br />

It was <strong>the</strong>n onto <strong>the</strong> Canadian Pacific<br />

Railway (CPR) passenger train “The<br />

Canadian” for our trip to our new life in<br />

Regina, Saskatchewan. I don’t<br />

remember how many nights we spent<br />

on <strong>the</strong> train, but we each had an upper<br />

or lower berth, and when I was on <strong>the</strong><br />

bottom I was looking out <strong>the</strong> window all<br />

night. Lower bunk converted to seats.<br />

“The Canadian”<br />

We met and sat with<br />

a Turkish Air Force<br />

pilot by <strong>the</strong> name of<br />

Ilhan Tezer, who was<br />

on his way to <strong>the</strong> air<br />

force base in Moose<br />

Jaw, Saskatchewan,<br />

for training. Mum<br />

corresponded with<br />

him for some years.<br />

Interesting fellow.<br />
