I was in awe after the CHATS program this morning after my discussion with Eric Macklin of Barrie, who is spearheading the project to build a full scale working replica of the 1812 schooner, The Nancy! How cool is that? Although it is an ambitious undertaking, Eric hopes to see it as a reality by the summer of 2011 or the spring of 2012. What a sight that would be out on Nottawasaga Bay, given the rich maritime history of this area as we reflect on the fact that so many Great Lakes vessels were built right here in Collingwood. I for one would sure like to see it come to fruition.
I'm taking a couple of days off, so Dale West will handle the controls of The Morning Flight. I'll catch you again on Friday morning as we gear up for the Long Holiday Weekend!
But, I'll have to leave you with a smile, and kids sure have a way of doing that...
1stgrade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!
