Morrison's musings on Dieppe - the last paragraph is a must read :-)

Standing on the beach where so many Canadians Lost their lives in defense of European freedom, one can't help but think back to how the beach must have looked as the soldiers were landing. Looking up from the shoreline you can see the cliff and the Three tiered beach. From this perspective it's easy to see why this landing was such a colossal failure. With the sunshine pouring in over the coast and a gentle breeze in the air its hard to imagine the beach covered with soldiers who would never see another day.

Mr. Hoganson & Lawson gave what would later be referred to as "the legendary Dieppe tour." One wonders how two individuals could be so knowledgeable.

I can only express the utmost thanks towards the teachers who have so generously given up their Spring Break in order to provide this safe, nurturing and engaging environment that is so essential for us to fully absorb the wonders of history. They deserve significant raises at the very least, and I'm certain complimentary cruises or holidays even a nice meal would not be enough for all they do for us.
