Folk Singer Posted December 7, 2014 #27 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Maritimers have always displayed a generous spirit, whether from the USA or Canada. A bond has always existed between these east-coast folks. On September 11, 2001, 50 flights originating in Europe were forced to land in Halifax. Many others of course landed at other Canadian airports, seeking refuge for a couple of days. That's just a small glimpse of the enduring, two-way relationship, which exists between this pair of two magnificent neighbours. We had a family stay with us for a week during that time. And we are still in touch with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How very kind and generous of you to take them in. I am sure there is no limit to their appreciation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandlockedColorado Posted December 9, 2014 #30 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thank you, Sail7seas, for posting this thread. I wasn't aware of this piece of history connecting Boston and Halifax. It's heart warming and encouraging that the human spirit can rise above such a tragedy. Happy holidays. LC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
