He and a few others individuals were invited to attend a Winchester sponsored conference at their then plant in Ontario.  At the closing night of the conference the participants were presented with a Winchester with the named plaque. Orivlle's father was a WW2 fighter pilot and a Truro businessman.  There is a room at Stanfield Airpot named in honer of him.  It is ironic that the only other presentation Winchester Centennial is a rifle in our inventroy.  That rifle was presented to Robert Stanfield, Premier of Nova Scotia on the occasion of Canada's Centennial. This carbine would make a unique additoin to any Canadian or Winchester collection.
