*General Cam Ross ( a former RCD) has provided this latest SITREP regarding
LCol Ernie Wesson, former CO of the BCR and member of our Regimental family.

.
“As many of you know, Ernie has been battling cancer. He also has numerous
other complications all of which have resulted in a degradation of his
strength to the point where chemo is no longer an option. Most of his
family is nearby and as his daughter Lori reports: "He has developed an
inability to eat much, and as a result suffers from dizziness and
significant weakness." I spoke to Ernie on Thursday afternoon and although
he sounded weak, he still has that Wesson spirit and humour. Ernie's
family have engaged a Palliative Care Team. While Ernie appreciates phone
calls (604-986-0844), considering his strength, an email toewesson(a)shaw.ca with
some humorous anecdotes might be more appropriate. Replies to emails may
take awhile due to the fact that, as Ernie says, "... army officer training
in the 50's didn't include typing!"
