...........The Canadian National was in the Vancouver area 10 years ago....just a few weeks after the US was attacked on Sept, 11, 2001....Cappy and the late great Dick Whalen were the judges....the experience of the Canadian National just a few weeks after one of the greatest tragedies on US soil was very calming on my sole. How fitting that on the tenth anniversary of "9-11" the Canadian National has returned to Vancouver. Don't know how many of you know this but the Canadians were outstanding in their assistance to thousands of American travelers who were stuck in Canada due to ALL US flights being canceled...We should have a National Holiday in this country called Canada Day.....a truly great country...my favorite city in all the world is Vancouver.....I'll be depressed in a few weeks because I will NOT be at the Canadian National with my Canadian family....have a wonderful show "ah"...Ed Hill...is there a gag rule in Canada...lol... ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
