Congratulations to all the new pilots! Well done. Enjoy the new experience!
~ Andy Roxburgh August 17, 2006Rock on Kyle! You'll be my next chauffer to Africa, right? ;P Dang we cousins are getting so old, we all went and growed up and are flying things 'n stuff...*sniff*.....see ya at the Cabaret Wedding!
~ Laura T. August 14, 2006Kyle,
well a freaking congratulations to you. and I just thought I'd tell you that you have to take me for a ride (seeing as I am your favorite cousin and all) and play those kickin' pipes for me someday. I hope to see you soon, we're starting to miss you.
To Kyle
2:50 pm Aug 14 - CONGRATULATIONS ! Your Dad has just called with the Big News. Wish we could all be there for the final ceremony. I have emailed everyone I can think of, relatives and friends, so we will all be cheering for you from all over the place.
Love from Grandma
CONGRATULATIONS KEIR AND LUC! What a fantastic accomplishment! Among Canada's young people I often think that Cadets are the CREAM OF THE CROP. So I guess that makes you boys the CREME DE LA CREME! What a great inspiration you'll be this fall to all the CADETS IN 604 MOOSE.
~ Theresa Schemenauer August 14, 2006Greetings and Congratulations. What an amazing accomplishment Keir. You must be so proud of yourself. Keep up the great work
Rita, Alyssa and Hailey
~ Keir August 12, 2006Congratulations kiddo. You have done so well. Keep up the good work. Nana sure would think you are awesome, she is definatley with you in spirit. Good Luck & have fun.
Dennise & David
congratulations
Harry and Ilona Elliot Lake, Ont
keep up the great stuff.
Keir - WAY TO GO on your PPL exam!...Look at you! Apparently, if you've ever heard "sky's the limit" growing up, it meant something different to you than I....I had thought it was only an expression!! I am impressed too - you've shown your mind can have no limits too. Takes all four d's - determination, dedication, discipline, and desire, to make a dream happen. You did it - at such a young age too (happy birthday, btw). You can apply that to anything down the road of your life. It will be your advantage. For now, have a lot of fun flying. If you make it over the mountains to Vancouver, wave your wing. Whenever I look at a plane in the sky now, I will think of you. Love, Auntie Pam
~ Auntie Pam August 11, 2006Keir - A big congratulations on passing your flight test! What an accomplishment! You deserve it after all of your dedication and hard work! A big thank you to Harv's for the training and to the cadet program for providing these incredible opportunities.
Does this mean I don't have to drive anymore?
Love, Mom
~ Deborah Treijs August 10, 2006Kyle
CONGRATULATIONS on passing the test for your Pilot's License. Your Mom called me with the great news. I have passed it on to everyone I could get on the phone. We are proud as can be. Can I be your first passenger ? Up the Bow Valley please.

Hello Kyle - I sent a message earlier but don't know if it went to you. You know me, I sometimes get things all wrong on the computer. It argued with me again today - I won !
Love, Grandma
Hello Kyle,
Your Mom told me you passed your MOT exam - CONGRATULATIONS - also congrats on your high marks. Must be exciting getting to this stage. Keep steady, as I know you always are.

I'm definitely a fan of the pics, it looks like you guys are having a lot of fun. Personally, i'm getting a little bit sick of this you being gone all summer nonsense, so if you could just hurry things along a little faster and come home...that'd be much appreciated =) haha
Brian, Kyle and Adam
Congrats on passing your MOT's. Keep up the good work
Kyle, hope you all did well on your exam today. We had the new roof put on today. Kiera says "Hello. I hope you get your pilots licsence. Don't try to fly the car again."

I hope everything is fun as well as hard work! The girls in Penhold say hi.
Good Luck,
Malary W.
Brian asked when you would be back at work. I told him you wanted a few days off first. He is desperate to get you back. We've gone through a few people this summer. New shifts etc.
Do you need a kne board? I will send you one if you want.
Everyone still asks how you are doing.
BOYS......
Rumor has it that you guys are learning and having fun at the same time. REMEMBER to be RESPECTFUL, because if you are not, somewhere, somehow, it will haunt you down the road.
Good Luck with the upcoming MOT's

Hi Kyle - The message I tried to write a few minutes ago got away before I was ready. Talked to your Dad about an hour ago, he says you are doing fine. They are all busy with yard and fence work and going a lot of places for fun. He said Caitlin and a friend are still looking for jobs. I think I will see your Mom and Caitlin tomorrow night, party for Barbara at her friend's house. Haven't seen any of your family for a long time. Now I will look for pictures of you and your friends. Hope you are taking a lot of pics. I've been watching the shuttle and ISS on my computer. Love, Grandma
~ Grandma July 16, 2006Hello Kyle
~ Grandma Lucille July 16, 2006So proud of you, Keir. Keep up the good work. Congratulations on your first solo flight. We are staying tuned to your experience with this awesome web site. Bring back those wings!!! Lots of love.

Instructor Giles
~ Giles July 12, 2006To Steven, Farhan, and all the guys of FLY SCHOL 2006
Hope your summer is going well, study hard. Congrats on your solo Steve! Keep smiling and remember, one pilot to another, if your ever in trouble in the air, "keep the pointy end forward and the dirty side down."
Good luck,
Hi to Davis and all the new friends. The pictures are terrific and show how much fun everyone is having. Davis, Lorne & I hiked the Goat Lake and Forum Lake trails in the Waterton the last couple of days. With mixed weather we decided not to do Crypt again. Black flies were hungry, horse flies huge, wasps plentiful but the fishing was fantastic. Take care,
Lorne and Dad
Brian, Kyle and Adam
Your one step closer...
Congrats on your Solo guys keep up the good work.
Hey Csabai and Lau:
Keep up the good work guys!!! Come back to Edmonton flying high with those wings. You guys are doing a great job!

We've been out every time you've called Kyle. Sorry. Sounds like all is going well. Keep up the good work. Every one at work asks how it's going. We got a rental linecrew from Toronto for the Stampede.
Dad
Keir, Davis, Wicked Kyle, Brian, Tyler:
Good going guys! It's great to see you all doing so well! Bring back lots of good stories.
OH! And here's the latest from Ralph Klein "If a person is dumb enough to run for the position, they're probably too stupid to hold it." Oh man, that guy makes me laugh.
Have fun!
Nicholas
