NEW: Blue Heron Squadron turns 50 years old in 2011: We are compiling a history of the Squadron for its birthday party in 2011, but we need help piecing together the Squadron's history, since records are scattered in boxes of personal files in people's homes.  Please check your basement and closet: If you have photos, certificates with signatures of officers, copies of old minutes, stories and other information, please contact us at web2 at blueheroncps.pe.ca.
