“We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield." That's from George Orwell's 1946 essay "In Front of Your Nose." |

LEADERSHIP BY 2364 Air Commodore Len Birchall (RMC’33) http://www.airforce.forces.gc.ca/news/2006/04/06_e.asp
2364 Air Commodore Len Birchall (RMC ’33) to be honoured with memorial cairn |
Dear Friends: Kind messages keep coming in and I would like to reassure everyone that Danny is coming along fine. His heart is behaving reasonably well and he has been given the go ahead to have Prostate Surgery sometime in May. We now go out occasionally to Loblaws and have a little stroll around, being careful not to overdo it. He has been to church the last couple of Sundays and is in good spirits and behaving himself very well. Thanks to all who have been so interested and caring. Cheers, Sheila for Danny |

"Many Hands - make the burden light". « L’aide de plusieurs rend la tâche facile » S125 Bill & S134 Rolande Oliver |
The eVERITAS electronic Newsletter reaches over 5,000 readers . It is a service provided by the RMC Club for Members in good standing with current addresses in the data base. It is designed to provide timely information on current events at RMC and to keep Members "connected". Occasionally, it will be distributed to non-members to entice them to join or renew their membership. Membership information is available at www.rmcclub.ca Newsworthy articles from national or local papers that may not have been available to the majority of our readers may be reproduced in e-VERITAS. We will also publish articles in either official language as submitted by Cadets and Staff, on "current life" at RMC. Other short “human interest stories" about Cadets, Ex-Cadets, Alumni and current and former Staff at the College will appear from time-to-time. Readers of e-VERITAS are encouraged to submit articles in either official language to william.oliver@rmc.ca. In particular, up-to-date “Where are they now?” articles on Ex-Cadets, Alumni and current and former Staff would be most welcome.
eVERITAS
is intended as a supplement and not a replacement of Veritas, the
highly popular magazine of the RMC Club printed and distributed three
times a year to Members by mail.

Chaque édition du bulletin électronique e-VERITAS rejoint plus de 5,000 lecteurs. C’est un service fourni, par le Club des CMR, aux membres dont les adresses sont à jour dans notre base de données. Son but est de fournir des renseignements à point nommé sur les actualités au CMR et de garder en communication les membres du Club. Occasionnellement, il sera distribué aux membres qui ne sont plus en règle espérant qu’ils renouvelleront leur carte de membre annuelle ou qu’ils deviendront membres à vie. Les renseignements sur l’adhésion au Club sont disponibles au www.rmcclub.ca. Articles d’intérêt national ou local qui ne sont pas disponibles à la majorité de nos lecteurs seront reproduits dans e-VERITAS. Nous produirons aussi des articles dans l’une des deux langues officielles soumis par les élèves officiers et le personnel du Collège sur la vie actuelle au CMR. Nous offrirons de temps à autre de courtes anecdotes sur les élèves officiers, les Anciens et les membres du personnel d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. Nous encourageons les lecteurs de e-VERITAS à soumettre des articles dans l’une ou l’autre des deux langues officielles à Rolande.Oliver@rmc.ca. En particulier des articles récents sur « Où sont-ils présentement? » seraient grandement appréciés. e-VERITAS est un supplément et NON une substitution pour VERITAS la revue populaire du Club des CMR imprimée et distribuée aux membres en règle, par la poste, trois fois par année. |
