Found Lefty!
Fantastic - thanks.
For more than 40 years I had been telling people about the strange things we got up to during the Goose Bay Winter Carnivals, but people mostly thought I was lying when I told them that we carved a life sized ice sculpture of a sperm whale. Then in 2015 my mate invited me to fly to Oshkosh with him in his SR22. We stopped over in Goose for me to do a little reminiscing on my old stamping ground (69-72). We visited the Air Forces Museum and I couldn’t have been more surprised when my co-pilot shouted from the other side of the room, that he had found a photo of some guys carving an ice sculpture of a whale just like I had described, he asked me if I recognised either of the guys in the photo - and yes, I am the one kneeling down with the axe. Until that day, I didn’t even know that the photo existed, so it really was a total surprise to see it on the wall in a museum.
Thanks Ross.
