Wally Mulligan and I first met at a meeting of the North Vancouver Kiwanis in the late 1990s.  I was a Director and the Treasurer of Kiwanis at that time.

Wally and I became friends; later he became one of my heroes and mentors.   He had been a great supporter of Kiwanis, often holding the highest office, over many, many years.

Wally was also a most excellent, experienced author, raconteur, naturalist, outdoorsman, and wildlife photographer. He and his family were studying the range and location and specialized in photographing mountain sheep.

After getting to know Wally a little better, I asked him if he would like to come flying with me.  Yes!  Since we were nearing our end of days, I decided to make this flying trip one of special significance to Wally.  Wally's call sign for this trip was Whiskey Alpha Lima Lima Yankee.  Wally died a little while after this flight. I miss him.

My wonderful niece, Sarah and her family, hosted us while we overnighted in 100 Mile House, BC.
