To the Hon. Bill Graham, Minister of Defence:- Dear Sir:- The televised picture of you with Nove Scotian Members of Parliament at CFB Shearwater was very heartwarming. Many thanks for the Sikorsky helicopters to replace the geriatric and aged Sea-Kings -- they have been greatly needed. I know it will be several years before the new helicopters will be available -- but ones who use the ancient present ones will be able to look forward to personal safety. One of my brothers is a member of National Search and Rescue -- when offered a ride in a Sea King -- he preferred his car. Many thanks -- as a former Nova Scotian, I am appreciative!! Muriel M.
