On Saturday, friends and family gathered at a church in northwest Calgary to celebrate a local war veteran's 100th birthday.
Harold Kearl is a remarkable storyteller, but as incredible as his stories are is his ability to recall details from 100 years of experience — as though they happened yesterday.
“We get a night cloud and it’s dark and this artificial horizon that tells you if your wings are level or not stopped working. So what do I do? I went back to my training that I took in High River. I talked to myself, and I said, ‘Harold, you know how to do this, you have been taught it. Do it.’ Your crew can’t hear you, so you talk to yourself and you convince yourself,” He said
Living this long and surviving a war, Kear. says he has learned about the value of teamwork in any setting. Kearl was married to his wife, Marilyn for 72 years and the couple had five children. Marilyn passed away in 2020 at the age of 95.After the war, Kearl did missionary work in the Philippines and was a bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Fleming was one of the many guests at the birthday party on Saturday. He’s known Harold for 61 years.“He’s very, very, honest and the dearest friend I’ve ever had. He’s earned every one of those years.
