Landmark day

The young man on the motorcycle is my Uncle Doug. WW2 fighter pilot and sub hunter over the Atlantic Ocean and later a leading expert for chicken diseases and an animal vet.

The young lady on the back Is Ida Draper, 17 who 15 years later would become my mother.

Today Mom is 100 years old.

Just got time to sit down and type this. Cooks for herself and when we take her shopping she insists on going off by herself and getting what she wants.
Lives with my Sister in Law and Brother and their family.

We don't know what make or year the bike is since Mother doesn't remember but the photo was taken in 1928 in Birmingham England and the bike was older.

Mom really enjoyed your best wishes. I printed it out and showed her and she asked me to thank you all. She was very pleased.

My Uncle was in the Mounted Cavalry in the Canadian Army. He took part in the last Cavalry charge in the army that was staged when they disbanded . This was complete with lances.

He said he signed up for a transfer to the air force since he had a private pilots licence.
