Sail on Nova Scotia Radio -
http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/bryanfkeddy/SONS.html

The SONS radio was set up as a pre-celebration of 2003 -- when
people like me celebrate the founding of Lunenburg in 1753.
We expect St.John's Anglican Church to be rebuilt by then, after
all this is only the beginning of 2002!

Also, 2003 is the year the 1911 Canadian census is supposed
to be released -- if approval is granted. Many are working very
hard -- pulling together from coast-to-coast-to-coast with a great
deal of information about Town Hall meetings, Compromise
Solution (no solution!) and Focus Groups from Gordon Watts.

Guy Lombardo's "I'm My Own Grandpa" -- could be a great song
as a theme song for census release!!!! This time it is acknowledging
the safe passage of Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-12 through the
Committee -- it is now in Third Reading status, to be brought back
about middle of February, 2002.

Murray Calder will have his great ONE hour of fame about March --
just in time for S-12 to come to House of Commons.

Bryan Keddy is the one who handles my personal home page and I
heard the words of Farewell to Nova Scotia on SONS today
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/

we share the following site as well [the Canadian flag logo]

Gordon and I need full mail-boxes -- it does not matter if you send
both House of Commons and Senate petitions to me -- I re-mail,
as we do not want Murray Calder to be empty-handed when he
has the ONE hour of debate allowed by law.

Please make certain Senator Lorna Milne has a truckload when
she presents her Third Reading -- I can imagine the publicity
if her husband has to take the big vehicle he is refinishing to pull
the load up Parliament Hill -- do not worry, Ross would do it!

The Petition Menu includes English & French Canadian, Non-Resident

Do we need these -- take a peek at the scoreboards -- no YES letters

Read the letters on the private message boards -- when you become
angry (as I often do) the message board is at the right side!!!

If YOU want the census records released -- NOW is the time we need
YOUR help -- the SONS Radio will have a small recording, we hope,
from Lorna Milne -- who is offering a big thank-you to anyone who is
able to put "I'm My Own Grandpa" on a family group sheet!!!

Listen for Ron Farquhar -- my brother -- he is taping for Bryan at present,
and some of his songs are original -- might even have Dartmouth SPEBS!

We need the support NOW -- in their hands by February 14 and after!
