Quotation of the Week
 
My Dear Harry: 

I feel that on this day I must write you a note of personal thanks for all that you have done for me since we first served together in this war.

No commander can ever had had a more loyal subordinate that I have had with you.  And under your command the Canadian Army has covered itself with glory in the campaign in Western Europe.  I want you to know that I am deeply grateful for what you have done.  If ever there is anything I can do for you, or for your magnificent Canadian Soldiers, you know that you have only to ask.

Yours always,

MONTY

Flashback from the Archives

Photo taken in 1995 (L) Outgoing “Adjutant” of the Old Brigade, 2435 BGen (ret’d) Bob Bennett (RMC ’35)

2435 Lt-Col RT Bennett letter to Editor, “RMC Review”, 6 March 1945
In the spring of 1945, approximately two months before WWII was officially over, RMC Professor Bridger the gentleman who was the "Managing Editor" of the RMC Review during the war years, received a letter from 2435 Lt-Col RT Bennett.  2435 Bob Bennett, entered RMC in 1935 and graduated in Jun '39 with honours in chemistry and was a recipient of the Governor-General's Bronze Medal.

As a cadet Bob excelled in sports, including rugby, basketball, gymnastics, hockey, track, and long-distance running, and held the four-bar appointment of Company Sergeant-Major of "A" Company, the cadet company occupying the Stone Frigate, in his senior year.  Although originally training with the navy during the summers as a cadet, upon graduation he joined the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps.

Granted leave of absence from the Canadian Army to attend the final year of chemical engineering at McGill University upon graduation, 2435 Bob Bennett was instead recalled to duty in August 1939.  He was shipped overseas by December of '39.  Promoted early and rapidly, he served with distinction in Canada and overseas throughout WW II.

 Prior to his retirement from the CF, he served one year (1971 - 72) in Viet Nam.  He retired shortly after his return to Canada in the rank of B General.  Following retirement, General Bennett served as a management consultant, and also employed his many skills in volunteer work with a number of organizations including the RMC Club.  He became the Adjutant of the "Old Brigade" in 1985 and held that position until a short time before his death 21 December 1995.

General Bob Bennett was highly respected for his sense of duty and for his long, faithful, and enthusiastic service to his country, to the Canadian Forces, to his college and the RMC Club of Canada.  It is fitting that we remember him and all those who have served our country and are no longer with us during this Remembrance Week.

Editor's Note:  2435 RT Bennett was the father of 8788 Geoff Bennett (RMC '71) 'le bourgeois' for the 2006 Canoe Trip presently being organized by him through the RMC Foundation.  Details on this Canoe Trip adventure are available: eVeritas 023, 14 October.

RMC MBA Students Commended by PMASCT

RMC Public Affairs Office  

Four RMC MBA students were recently surprised to hear that the Prime Minister’s Advisory Council on Science and Technology (PMACST) wanted them to produce a report on the need for innovation in government procurement. 

To be called upon by PMACST was quite an honour. The council comprises accomplished Canadians from the business, academic, and government sectors.  Its goal is to, “provide expert, non-partisan advice to the Prime Minister in the areas of research and innovation.”  

 The students, Majors Mark Parsons, Lisa Smid, Joe Whitfield and Chris Zimmer, just happened to be working on a project on procurement when RMC received the call.  They were asked if they’d be interested in this undertaking, and they gamely decided that this opportunity presented a chance to employ the skills that they had been building through their MBA program.

6604 Dr. James Carruthers, Class of '65 - A Legacy of Giving


6604 James Carruthers from the 1965 RMC Review

In the 1965 RMC yearbook, James Franklin “Fats” Carruthers is described, as “one of those cheerful smiling characters that it is always nice to be around. He comes to us from Drumheller, Alberta, and is always ready and willing to expound on the virtues of life in that Great Western Province.”   

Today Jim Carruthers is RMC’s top donor. “The College has been instrumental to my success in life and this is my way of giving back,” he says. Jim, whose philanthropic role models are American billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, strongly believes that it is important to donate. “It is a personal thing that is very important to me. Money should be used to do good, not just to pass on to the children.”  

After graduating from RMC in Electrical Engineering, Jim served 22 years in the Canadian Navy and earned a Ph.D. from Dalhousie University. Jim has been with Norpak Corporation, an Ottawa area company that specializes in electronic program guides and interactive TV, for the past 23 years. 


Class of ’65, on parade Reunion Weekend. 

He has also worked in organizing donations from the Class of ’65, which has given an amazing $1.4 million to RMC so far including two endowments, the Class of 65 Teaching Excellence Award and most recently RMC’s

first Academic Chair. The second endowment or professorship was announced at the recent reunion weekend and will create a named lecture position in Canadian Military leadership or Canadian History. 

“For the past 20 years the Class of ’65 has been raising money for RMC and has always focused on academic excellence,” Jim explains. “I hope this professorship will establish RMC as the leading university in this field in Canada and perhaps the world.” Jim regards RMC as a national treasure and believes that it is very important for alumni to support the College. “RMC graduates leaders for the country, not just the military and Canada certainly needs leaders.”  

And what is the secret to the Class of ‘65’s successful fundraising? “The class is organized and we pick projects important to the class and to RMC.  “Projects have substantial meaning and are well thought out.” Jim credits his classmates, particularly 6584 Keith Ambachtsheer who has lead class fundraising.” He hopes the Class of ‘65’s philanthropy will inspire other classes, adding that they are willing to provide guidance to anyone interested in organizing a class giving campaign. Check out the Class of ‘65 website at http://www.rmc65.ca/main_e.htm . 

Jim’s philanthropy to RMC is also directed to his hometown, which holds special meaning to him. In 2000 Jim set up an endowment to fund a Reserve Entry Training Plan scholarship so that each year one high school graduate in Drumheller can attend RMC.   

“It’s rewarding to go back to Drumheller each year and present the scholarship. I have a connection with my hometown, the high school and RMC. Most of our recruiting is done in big cities so this is a way to publicize RMC and make people aware in small towns.”

We pick-up our news sources from wherever we can. Readers are encouraged to forward any item on an Ex Cadet, former staff member from any of the three military colleges.  College number & photo will make our life a lot easier.   William.oliver@rmc.ca

Low family has all the bases covered!  Pictured are the three Low family ex-cadets:

De temps à autre, e-Veritas mettra en vedette un Ancien, un membre du personnel d'autrefois et ou un ami du Collège.  Ces articles seront reproduits dans le langage reçu et rarement traduits.  Nous invitons nos lecteurs à soumettre des articles a william.oliver@rmc.ca dans la langue de leur choix. From time to time, E-Veritas will focus on an Ex cadet; former staff member; and / or a friend of the college. Articles will be reproduced in the language received and in most cases not translated.  We invite readers to submit articles to william.oliver@rmc.ca in the language of their choice.
 

 

  We get e-mails . . .

Bill: Would you mind alerting Peter Dawe to this as well? 

At this moment, there is a musical production in the War Museum in Ottawa.  The musical is entitled "Till we meet again", is set in Montreal during WW2 and features all the popular songs of the day.  There are 3 acts, each at a different point during the war.  Each act features an interview with a Canadian army officer, first after Dunkirk, secondly after Dieppe and thirdly after Juno.  This character is supposedly an RMC ex cadet.

I think it's rare for a Canadian production to mention an RMC background.  The show is very professionally done and very enjoyable, especially for ex-cadets with my number or older.  I don't know if you or the Club have any way of alerting folks in the Ottawa area but the show is only on for two weeks.  'Till we meet again' played in the Toronto area for some two weeks, had 1000 in Kitchener, played Guelph, Brampton, St, Catherines, Markham etc. 

An old air force buddy of mine, ROTP 1962 from McGill, alerted me to the show.  His wife is a member of the cast.  Of course I went as an obligation but was charmed by the quality and pleasantly surprised by the appearance of a hero ex-cadet.  I heartily recommend it to all.

Editor’s note:  See the Till We Meet Again poster elsewhere on this page. 

Good evening .... I've just had a tremendous shock, opening your Veritas site to read of a memorial service for Gord Hawkins on November 12th in Currie Hall. Is this Gord Hawkins of the Class of '61?

I had an e-mail from Gord Hawkins, sent September 16th, lauding my continued involvement in art and other "adventures". I wasn't able to access that e-mail until sometime later because Lori and I had just left Canada and landed in Great Britain to begin a five week "odyssey" which took us from Scotland down through England.

I'll check here later for your clarification, Bill.

Sincere Best Wishes to you and your dear wife.

James Colbeck (No. 5472) 

Thank you for your condolences.  I was extremely honoured to be such a close friend with the Admiral since I was 8 years old.  He is indeed one of the biggest actors that contributed to where I am today.  I am very pleased with the timely actions of the College staff.  Last night I wrote up a lengthy memo outlining his accomplishments the staff has reacted accordingly.  His memorial service will reflect his true love for RMC, as his casket will be adorned with his RMC pillbox hat circa 1932.  Also in an incredible gesture, his family has listed RMC as one of the organizations that can be donated to in his memory. I will be traveling home to be the bagpiper at his funeral on 18 November

Sincerely,
23441 Alex Duncan, Cadet Wing Senior

Thank you guys for doing a super job! I look forward to each issue. By the way, I had the honour of being intercollegiate boxing champion in 1969 or 1970.  Most of my classmates would probably remember me more for my drinking skills not my pugilistic accomplishments. Not many CMR cadets, in those days, joined the RMC boxing team. What most people did not know was that I had an older half brother (whose dad was killed in WW2) who was a very good boxer and who competed in the Golden Gloves in Montreal (when he should have been studying at McGill).

Can you tell me if the cadet boxing records and wall plaques are still maintained at the college?  I still have the trophy but my friends don't believe me so I was thinking that a picture of a wall plaque would convince them. Can you help?  

Anyway thanks for your efforts and keep those newsletters coming.

8368 Larry Travis (RMC ‘70) 

Editor’s note:  The wall plaques are still available at RMC. At the present time, they do not have a permanent home due to the recent renovations.  We will contact the Athletic Department staff (with our digital camera) to check out Larry’s claim.
