The brother from another Buckingham, Part 2

Greetings, my reading friend. Were you awaiting with barely controlled impatience the presentation of the second part of the article on brother Hormisdas-Marie Gamelin, educator, violinist, glider pilot and great lover of trout fishing? Yes? Such enthusiasm honours you. As important as Gamelin’s contribution to the history of gliding in Canada / Québec was, his main concern remained teaching. He began his career in this field around 1920, at the brand new Mount Assumption High School in

Top of the morning to you, my reading friend. Yours truly hopes to have found a subject that you will find interesting, original and innovative in a July 1958 issue of the weekly Le Petit Journal of Montréal, Québec. Let us begin this story without further ado. Once upon a time ... Uh, yes, I admit that the formula is not original but the content below should be. May I continue now? Thank you. Once upon a time, say I, there lived a young Franco-American, an example among many others of the

I want to know what snarge is, I want you to show me, or not

Rénald Fortier

Good day to you, my reading friend. Our topic today is not as humorous or light hearted as some of our usual fare, but I respectively make no apologies for that. To make a long and sad story short, while it is true that bird strikes are not a major cause of aircraft accidents and human fatalities, they are nonetheless among the most pressing flight safety issues faced by airport operators, if not the airline industry as a whole. The large majority of bird strikes occur near airports, during
