Bugles Across America is organizing anationwide playing of Taps at the 4 plane crash times. The only brass instrument I play is a Burke so that’s what I’m playing. No one will hear me but me, but that’s okay. My notes will get where they need to go.
Join me.

One of my friends had a Churchill Fellowship to visit the USA and talk to disaster planners. She is a member of the WVS and was handing out cups of tea at the fire at Windsor Castle and at the Queen Mother’s funeral. She met a lot of people involved in the tragedy. In fact, she won a prize for her picture of four firemen resting from their labours. She’ll be there at the site for the memorial service.
Me, I’m taking part in the Reading Friendship Walk.
John, if you go outside, someone will hear you. My Goldie whistle is aluminum, but this sounds like a good idea. Many flights headed for the eastern US were diverted to land here in Halifax ten years ago.
I live on 6 acres and the neighbors are a good 300 yards away. But it was a beautiful sunshiny morning, not unlike that day in 2001, and the trees heard, and the birds heard, and the great big interconnected ether of somethingness heard, and that’s all that matters.
There was a superior TV documentary about a town in Canada that hosted planes and people diverted from the U.S. and it was really moving. They played it during the Olympics. The folks in that Canadian town were terrific and and I love all of Canada for their decency and help during those days.
