| Lest we forget |
This Remembrance day is a first -- 11/11/11 -- a once in a lifetime happening -- in the 11th year of the century.
Remembrance day at Sir Wil has always been an important event. The highlights for me are always the live piper with his glorious presence and the insanely loud bagpipes. Impossible to ignore and so unique in sound. Then the Military guest speaker -- very inspiring this year as he was stationed in Afghanistan and had a personal slide show bringing courage and sacrifice home to the students in a way that they could relate to.
And, for a number of years now, a screening of Terry Kelly's song, "A pittance of time" brings more that a tear to my eye by reminding me to consider deeply the significance of the day.
Thanks to all the organizers and helpers and especially Mr. Fyfe.
