Mr. Young's reply
Dear Lynda (Mrs. Young)
This afternoon around 10 minutes to four I received a call from the
reception to tell me there was an envelope for me and she was closing the
office at 4. If I wanted it tonight could I pick it up before 4. I did so.
What a heartwarming surprise I received when I opened the envelope. It is
without a doubt one of the most emotional happenings I have experienced
since serving in the army.It is hard for me to accept all the accolades
poured forth from these students. Such a large body of volunteers are no
longer able to read the comments as they have paid the supreme sacrifice and
I feel guilty receiving them because I was lucky enough to survive. I can
only express my thanks for the thoughtfulness of these students to express
their feelings, so well put together in pictures, poems and comments - which
touched me very deeply. On behalf of all those who had their life snuffed
out fighting for what they believed in - freedom - please convey my
personal thanks to the students who prepared this presentation which was
delivered to me to-day. Their thoughts give me hope that the future is in
good hands, and that I spent almost five years of my life on a worthwhile
effort to make this world a better place for generations to come.

Real or Fake Websites
A lot of what we find on the internet is true. A lot of it, however is not necessarily true, even though we might think it is... Be a critical thinker.
Are they both real? Is either one real? Use some evidence to support your thoughts.
#1 http://www.perp.com/whale/video.html (the exploding whale)
#2 http://www.thedogisland.com/photos.html (dog island)
When done, you can click on the link at the right titled Life- it has photos that are either Real or Fake. You decide.

Meyrick lost his leg in a cable car accident, and just like Rudy he has a prosthetic limb, but that hasn't stopped him from challenging himself (and others) to do great things.
He is a member of Canada's disabled Triathlon team and tried to qualify for the paralympics in Vancouver 2010.
