'Friends Not Forgotten'
Hi Joe;
I did some poking around about 'Skinny' Adams and it led to an interesting story. 'Skinny' had gone to BC to do some hiking. He must have slipped then fell into 3 feet of water in a ditch and drowned. He was 78 years of age when he died and the accident happened in Richmond, BC.
While in the NWMP, he got himself into trouble twice. Once for not exercising the horses when told, and another time for not getting them water when he was stable orderly at 'Depot'. He was CB'd for 10 days.
How things have changed! 'Skinny' left the Force at some point and then re-engaged in 1900. He continued on until 1911.
Our thanks go out to:
