President of Branch 120 Royal Canadian Legion for approx 10 yrs. Also well known on the front desk of the Georgetown Post office for many years. Member of the Royal British Navy, helped crack the enigma code of the Germans, He was a telegraphist.
- My parents lived next door to the Wards on McGilvray and I knew his wife Ada. Interesting fact about his role with Enigma, I never knew that.
- The Ward Family were very dear family friends. We kids have such warm memories of our visits with Norm and Ada. ❤️
- Norm Ward is my Dad. He didn’t talk much about the navy and it wasn’t until 50 years later that he even talked about what he did in the service and the enigma code. Years later he bought a ham radio and could still send Morse code 25 words a minute.
Miss you Dad 💕

VE3NOF My close friend and my inspiration on running for President. And most recently Norm Ward VE3UMI Norm had a lifelong interest in radio and earned his license later in life. Unfortunately he did not have long to enjoy his hobby due to illness.
These three guys were Hams. My definition of Ham is someone who spends much
of their free time playing radio and often sleeps with the radio on.
I will be listening for the signals from above. If there is a way to Ham from beyond these guys will find it. John VE3JAA"
