I’ve not ever really known how to celebrate Remembrance Day or Veteran’s Day, as it is called in the U.S. As a kid it meant a day off of school and as an adult it means a day off of school for my son but how does one get a real feel for what the day really means? How about listening to a personal account of Ron Lawrence’s experiences in WWII?
Details follow for this nominal-fee community event.
Wednesday November 11, 3:00PM to 5:00PM and 7:00PM to 9:00PM
In honour of Remembrance Day there will be a reading from Ron Lawrence’s memoir about his experiences in WWII. Following that, Earle Gray, a writer and historian with expertise in the oil industry will give a talk. Gray has published eight books and is currently working on a book about Canadian news stories from the 1820s-1930s. The public is also invited to attend the Haliburton Highlands Genealogy Meeting at 7 pm at R.D.L.P. where Gray will talk more about how to research old newspapers and some of the intriguing stories from old newspapers he has found. Admission is $2.
