Society Pages Surprises

I love how years ago the local newspapers would list the coming and goings of people.   Which distant cousins were coming for a visit,  who was getting engaged, and even who had a bridal shower.  I would expect to see this in small town newspapers, but I did not expect to see this in the Montreal Gazette.

Which Palin Family Branch Are You In?

Many times I have been asked how are we related?  Sometimes this is not an easy question to answer.

1233 Days

Every person has a story to tell.  Some stories are remarkable and some are horrifying. Last month I wrote about a man who was thought dead during WWI but was alive in a Prisoner of War Camp in Germany.  In honour of Remembrance Day,  I am writing about another man who was also held captive in a Prisoner of War Camp in WWII.
