Alphonse Arsenault
I could not
have been more surprised when I came to the following web site:

Then I
remembered seeing this name somewhere else. So this is
a famous picture of a man who was on actually the same team as Clinton Kwaak. I
think that is very special.
“All of a sudden the picture came up with the men in the raft and when he lifted his head up My heart was beating out of my chest. I knew it was him. I ordered the film. I played it back and he was in the water and then picked up in the raft. He is on the right hand side holding the wounded man up. Then I put the video in for my sisters and said nothing and then I slowed down the tape and my sisters started to cry and said that's daddy.”
I wrote an
e-email to Mrs. Suzanne Viger, the daughter of Alphonse Arsenault.
She sent me
the next picture.
He is in the second row 3rd
