Lest We Forget

No Friday Funnies today. Just rememberance of Martin Cooper, who flew Catalinas on the Iceland run. And Dad,(John Thomas Cooper) who built pipelines and roads to Alaska then served in the RCAF until 1948. Eugene (Robbie)Bain who served with the RCAF from 1938 to 1968. And Alistair "Scotty" Bain who went to Korea with the Army, came home and joined the Navy in 1965 to spend 20 years in SAR. They all came back to stand at the cenotaphs for their friends - and time has now claimed them all. So it falls to us to remember. And the flag they fought for. At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the elventh month stop to remember.

I even went so far as to take a course on AI from LinkedIn Learning on "How to Research and Write Using Generative AI Tools." While attractive and informative...
