Robert Manuel used to be a drum major in a marching band. He has given that up because he is worried that his back will seize up in the middle of a parade. He used to be very active in his community, but now feels like he’s “on the sidelines rather than leading”. He is proud of a recent accomplishment – starting in 2004, April 9 will be recognized as Vimy Ridge Day.
