Prior to the meal, a social hour was held dur- ing which it was a pleas- ure to speak with 5 veter- ans of WWII. Jim Hunter, a retired jack- of-all-trades remarked that the Lucknow Legion is doing a lot of good things, but for himself, as he is get- ting older it is harder for him to be involved in get- ting things done. Hunter served in France and Bel- gium during WWII. He recalls one night he was looking for some place to sleep when he entered a building. Hunter relates, "I said to 5 Germans, 'I want to sleep here so move on' and they did!" Art Bryce is 95 years old and has retired from farm- ing about 3 miles south of Teeswater. He com- mented, "This Legion Branch is getting better all the time. They are a good bunch." Gerald Wagner is retired from the Lucknow Co-op. During WWII he was in London in Ordinance Corps. Wagner married while there. He lived in the barracks at Queens Park while his wife lived in an apartment in London. Don Ross is retired from farming. He served from 1942-1945. He commented that this year the Remem- brance Day activities and services are well covered on account of what happened in Quebec. He believes, "This year the services may have more turn out, although in Lucknow attendance is usu- ally good." Warren Wylds is retired from Dominion Roads which was later bought out by Volvo and became Champion. He served from 1943-1946. During this time he states, "I have been all over: London, Chatham, Windsor. I got hurt in Ipperwash and that ended my career." While in the services Wylds met his wife while she was working for London Life. They were married on November 15, 1947. Legion President Craig Crawford, currently work- ing at Bruce Power, also gave his thoughts on how the recent tragedies affected this year's activi- ties. "There is a bigger run on poppies and more peo- ple are eager to wear them this year." Speaker at this year's Remembrance Banquet was John Maguire, Captain (RCN), Canadian Military Law. During the social hour Maguire shared some of his personal history and con- nections to the area. He was born in Stratford and went to high school in Goderich. His mother was a Campbell out of Chepstow. Maguire gave an inform- ative history of his career, from how he came to be in the military as a Lawyer and the many historical developments he has worked on from the Cold War through to Afghani- stan. He describes himself as a career officer from 1984 until he left the regu- lar forces in 2012.

That staggering vour maturities is a strategy that helps avoid having all of your eggs in one basket. It limits your exposure to interest rate fluctuations. Invest only 20% of your funds to come due (mature) each year for 5 years. At each maturity you will then always select the 5 year rate, which is usually the highest and still have access to 20% of your funds annually if needed.
