 Sunset
last night south of Tisdale
There was an accident in the upload last night and the front page
was lost. This is a replacement page until we get back from this trip
and can update the site correctly. Regular updates will resume after
August 15. Until then we will update as often as possible. Vacation,
house renovations are upsetting the schedule.

 Messages
from France, sixty years after "D" Day- Thursday
July 1, 2004
by: Bernard de Maussion
Mondeville, France
: When Canadian armed forces landed on Juno and Sword beach in Normandy in 1944 they
made history, many of them died but through their efforts the German occupation forces
was hurled back into the low countries. The people of France remember that sacrifice
and Bernard de Maussion has sent us eleven local newspaper clippings telling of "D"
Day celebrations last month.

corner. There goes the neighbourhood! This story includes a QuickTime VR panorama
