I lived through the 60s & 70s -- tumultuous times to be sure, but we made it. We will make it again. I'm certain. Just be kind to each other. To neighbours, friends and especially those you think you should despise but don't really know why exactly... We are all just people. Good people.
I believe I mentioned here before that I stood on the deck of the Fitz. I'm a working man, even now, and I feel a strong bond to the men on that doomed boat. Grew up on the Lakehead I did.
