Caroline,

What a great job you have done!

Thank you for keeping us updated. It has continued to amaze me, just how much information has been gathered and how many people came together to try and solve this mystery.

What a great honour for the families of these young men, to realize that their loved ones have not been forgotten.

Great work Caroline,
        While some (myself) started with plenty of gusto I must admit to tapering off later and just waiting, meanwhile here's good ol' you still plodding quietly away.
         You should be proud of your marathon effort, we're all proud of you.

                                                  Denn

Thanks for all your messages but I have to pass the credit over to the team at McGills, they have worked hard on this and done a great job in tracking down the family of Bill Allison and Jules Villeneuve, and so have everyone else in here.  I had no idea that things would have got this far.  Will keep you all posted.

2 left to find...you never know...and also what became of Gaston Caron?  I guess that's another topic for another day!

Here is my contribution..good luck with your search

It's been a while since I posted an update, so hope you are all still interested to hear more.
 
About three months ago Bill Allison's sister gave an interview with the Montreal Gazette and they published the story on the crew and the events leading to finding the families.

After that CBC contacted McGill's and wanted to do a radio interview for their Sunday morning show, I did my part long distance from Wales.  We were hoping that we may have a response from the two families not yet contacted but unfortunately this was not the case.

Then out of the blue, a few weeks ago I was contacted by the sister of Gerald Dusablon.  Through a friend she had heard of the newspaper report and had contacted me to find out more.   I passed on information received to date together with some photographs.

A local news cameraman came along and made a great DVD documenting the story of the airmen and the climb to Carreg Goch.  He has given permission for it to be posted online, but I have no idea how to do it!  Wes from McGill's visited her and took a copy for her to see.

As with the other families contacted, she was unaware of what had happend and is grateful for what everyone has done to help.

So just one family left to find....
