GUEST SPEAKER

  Gayle introduced John Fougere, a teacher at TRHS who was here to talk about the importance of Remembrance Day.    John went to France in 2007 and visited the grave of his great uncle who is buried in a cemetery at Breterville Sur Laize.  The cemetery’s upkeep is under the auspicies of a War Graves Commission.  Residents of Northern France love Canadians as the win at Vimy Ridge is attributed to the Canadians.
Remembrance Day, not only recognizes veterans from WWII but WWI and the Korean War, which celebrates 60 years since the outbreak.
  John was thanked by George with the usual books donated to a local library.
