| Iain completed his leave today. It was a snowy day ... Jennifer and the boys said their goodbyes in Petawawa, and Iain rode to Ottawa in an army van. In Ottawa, Anne and David had a brief moment with him ... |

An interior view of the new Ottawa airport. Iain was in the lineup almost a full hour. The crowded check-in area can be seen in the right background. |

| From: Jennifer Clark Sent: 13 January 2004 11:48 To: Granny Annie; David Clark (work); David Clark Subject: let the countdown begin Iain has arrived safely in Kabul (although he is exhausted). He tells me that his flight from "the middle" will be leaving on Friday Feb 6. They will likely get here late in the evening so we are telling the boys that he will be home on Feb 7. If we see him on the 6th it will be a bonus. Anyway for our purposes the countdown is now at 25 sleeps. From: Iain Clark Sent: 13 January 2004 18:44 To: David Clark; Jen Clark Subject: I'VE ARRIVED Just to let you know that I've arrived safely at camp. The weather is nice here, and there is no snow on the ground. The trip was long but uneventful. I will be home on 6 Feb, although it may be 7 Feb before I'm free of the arrival process. That is just over three weeks away from now, so I'll see you all pretty soon! Love Iain |
