********************** Hello Sault Ste. Marie:

I hope you are enjoying the snow and the cold weather.

I am Corporal Ken Proulx, formerly of the Sault.

I have been living and working in Kingston since 2004.

I am currently serving on my second tour in Afghanistan.

My first tour was from the end of 2006 to June of 2007.

Weather here is starting to turn cold with frost in the morning and sometimes the top of the puddles will form a thin layer of ice.

Most days it is raining and will continue until about the middle of January.

I would like to say Merry Christmas to my dad, sister Amanda, all my aunts and uncles and friends.

Enjoy your holidays and see you next summer!

- Ken Proulx
