Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
The programme still turns up on obscure satelite TV channels from time to time.

DeleteThe Programme had a lot in common with 'Green Acres' - staring Eddie Albert and Zar-Zar Gabore...great shows- with characters like 'Sam Drucker'- just fun.
ReplyDeleteI never cottoned on to Green Acres and to be honest 50 years on, don't remember much about the class except a lick of the song and "uncle Joe" and his touch of class.

DeleteUncle Joe looks like he has lost some weight! I was looking for the water tower as well.
ReplyDeleteOne day perhaps, who knows?
DeleteHmm, yes I guess a water tower would have added a "touch of class".
