I must congratulate retired pilot Tom Green on his Reminiscing of “The Old Master – Capt. Roy Cooper” in the June edition of the Downhome magazine. I never knew him as Captain Roy Cooper – I knew him as my Uncle Royal. If I am permitted a short space in the magazine I shall explain why. He was married to my mother’s sister, Ella Adams, of Milton, Trinity Bay, making him my uncle by marriage. I can relate to the section on page 114 – “after the war he flew out of Moncton, NB with MCA.” It was while they were stationed in Moncton during the early 1950s their only child was born – now retired Captain Glen Cooper, following in his father’s footsteps. He chose to be an airways inspector with Transport Canada. So, Captain Roy Cooper’s son Glen is my first cousin. I obtained my info about him from his father’s autobiography – Tales from a Pilot’s Logbook – A Love Affair with Airplanes, published by Flanker Press Ltd. in 1999. Glen is much younger than I however we do keep in touch with each other, mainly by phone. I really like Mr. Green’s conclusion of his account about Uncle Royal – “That’s the story of Roy Cooper, a kind and gentle man who I call ‘the old master of flying.” A good job, Mr. Green!
