The educators – Stan Thompson, a rancher from Saskatchewan, and D---- O---------, a Newfie, were rushing a country school teacher and they would fly over her school on the prairie and perform acrobatics. The teacher used to take the kids outside of the school in order to watch the performances. It was lucky that she did this because Thompson dropped a note to her on one occasion. Dropping a note was perfectly alright but the silly ass but the note into a bottle and the bottle went right through the roof of the school like a bomb. Authorities of the local school board and of the flying school were perturbed.
Boyle, bread, girl, pie – Harry Boyle met a farm girl and she invited him to the farm. This was up Boyle’s alley, so while he was on a training flight in the old Tiger Moth he landed on the farm and was fed freshly baked bread and lemon pie. On one of the sojourns to the farm, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) constable, driving by the farm, noticed the RCAF Tiger Moth parked near the barnyard. He stopped to see if there was anything wrong and to see if he could be of help. He certainly helped pupil Boyle; right into a confinement-to-barracks for a few weeks.
