| Milward Taylor "Mel" Culbert (1920-1958) |
My father, Mel Culbert of Lucan, Ontario served as a Sergeant with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) from 1941-1945. He trained as a radar technician and wireless air gunner. He retrained as a draftsman because of health problems, and transferred from the training base at Trenton to a base on Avenue Road in Toronto.
Mel and his wife Mary Elizabeth (Patrick) Culbert had three children: son Terry, daughter Dana, and daughter Mary Jane (me.) Sadly, my father died when I was a year old. I have no memory of him.
When I was a child, I had a Remembrance Day school assignment. This is the last paragraph of that assignment...

Remembrance Day is a time for us to reflect on those who served our country. We will remember them.
