This is an old photo of my Dad, Bill Pike (far right), who was a member of the Royal Nfld. Constabulary in St. John's and retired as acting Inspector from Grand Falls. He was sent to Labrador, "to keep the peace," during the Gold Rush in the 30's. He did end up with gold crowns on all his teeth, so maybe he was out there mining for gold after hours! He was known as the "cop with the million dollar smile" in St. John's!! I'm unsure who the other 2 members are, but would love to know if anybody recognizes them!   Submitted By: NULL
