From Marilyn Wright, daughter of Capt. Blaver, RRC

I had the privilege of going to France and Belgium from Nov. 13-23, 2008 with 33 students from Centre Dufferin HS (CDDHS), Shelburne, Ontario. Myself and another staff from the Dufferin County Museum and Archives accompanied these students. The focus of the 'Battlefields Tour' was on Nov. 19^th at the Canada Juno Beach Centre. A presentation of these students' Dufferin veterans was done. The teachers and two museum staff also presented. I talked about my dad, Capt. Collison A. Blaver, Royal Rifles of Canada, POW, Hong Kong (also my second dad – Howard Puffer). My family and I have sponsored two 'Commemorative Bricks' for each of them. It was an amazing trip and very emotional.

I have attached a picture of me at Kiosk #14, holding a picture of dad under his brick.
