Pilots Receive Honour With Park & Cenotaph Dedication

A 5 year journey--that's how local historian Harold Wright describes the dedication of the Wade-Myles Park and Centotaph.

The park next to M. Gerald Teed School is the former site of the Millidgeville Airport.

Wright tells CHSJ News Jack Myles was a distinguished pilot with the Canadian air force and he also designed M. Gerald Teed School where the memorial will live.

Large posters of Wade, Myles and others will hang in the Aviation Hall of Fame in the lobby of the School.

Harold Wright was surprised during the ceremony when Lieutentant Government Graydon Nicholas gave him a Diamond Jubilee Medal from the Queen.
