Editor:
I was not impressed with the recent article on the Goldenhawk Streamliner and how, somehow, it had some relationship to this very special period we call Remembrance Day at the Sechelt Legion. It doesn’t.
Effective as a story, it may well be the relationship between the Goldenhawk and the Legion on this hallowed day should have no connection whatsoever. Well intentioned as a donation to the Poppy Fund may be by those viewing this mass of technology, the leadership of the Sechelt Legion should review their history books.
Some years ago, many people endured a speech at the Gibsons Legion on Remembrance Day by Don Chapman describing his tale of despair and his plight with the Department of Immigration. The Goldenhawk and problems related to immigration have one thing in common.
They have absolutely nothing to do with Nov. 11, the day we as a nation recognize and celebrate the men and women who gave their lives and souls to our country in time of war.
