FORT ST. JOHN TRIP CONT'D






A rare moment. Photos of the boys in uniform marching to the beat of their drums and the blare of their music in a small town in northern British Columbia. As the crowd watches from the sidelines the Lejac Band performs to their music such as 'Green Beret' and 'Red Wings' which they have practiced and perfected. At this point in time (ca. 1966) the boys are 375 miles from home.

In 1966 in Canada all road signs were in miles. Today all the signs are in kilometers. So 375 miles is more like about 500 kilometers.
