11-11-24 Lest We Forget
I met the family down near the cenotaph. It was a good service
I watched a guy put a picture down during the wreath ceremony. Afterwards I went to see it and talked with him. His name is Stephen Lathem and the picture is of his father.
Merrill Lathem of the West Nova Scotia regiment who served in Italy where in 1944 he was wounded.
Every year Stephen brings the photo down to honour his dad.
I went to the office to take care of some undone things which included my letter to the tour operator and my travel agent about the snorkeling incident.
I updated the FPPAS website and while on YouTube, looking for a video that I needed, I stopped in on my stats to see something cool. My Arlo Guthrie vid has nearly 80K views!
I also sent an email to all crew again giving them opportunity to buy t-shirts with the 2024 vimf logo on it.
I had a good talk with Cresslynn who is busy sorting and getting rid of stuff at the MusicFest office. She is going to find and keep my tote at her house and told me to just get rid of all the stage binders. It has been very hard on all involved and I only hope they can remain friends when it’s all completed. It was good to tell her I love and miss her.
I started to work on a VIMF blog by going through the years pulling my favourite pictures. It was quite the walk down memory lane and being that I started looking at The Big Time Out pics from 2008 and then MusicFest 2009 and on, I had to stop for another day.
I came home and made a nice dinner with just enough spice that I’ll be able to sleep tonight
I have pretty much been binging Doc Odyssey. It’s a little bit ER & a little bit Love Boat with Don Johnson at the helm.
