Default Hi Micheal...nice to `meet' you!

Insomnia is not so bad when I can do
something educational rather than toss
and turn This site is highly educational
for sure!

I'm really interested in knowing if you
recall the name of that man from the
Royal Winnipeg Rifles? The man who the
memorial is for. The site sounds very
private and very nice.

As for Conduct Unbecoming, I still
haven't been able to `sit with it'
It's much too real, and close to home,
(my Uncle) makes it much more so.
The truth of the matter is, is that I
don't fully comprehend the total
signifigance yet...am just learning
how `big'! I'll get thru the book.

When I was really young I
read a book written by a holocaust
survivor..probably the `Diary of Anne Frank'
...I read every book by survivors that I could
lay my hands on after that. The cruelties
inflicted on people were incredible.

I bumped into a friend of mine the other day
and we got to talking about my Uncle a bit...
then h told me how `forgotten' the Russian
peoples experiences had been...he told me that they'd been made to stand in long rows while
the Nazis just shot them down the line.
And so on. The stories are never ending and
the `atrocities' were just so unbelievable.

I've been in your `site' I'm sure
always searching...oiy...give an insomniac
hermit an internet connection and a desire to learn
and whaddayah got??? Well...well spent wake time!
No such thingas `wasted time' in this site!!!

I've been really curious about the hats/caps/berets I see... who wears what???
