Our very good neighbor died on the first plane. His wife used to leave a candle lit on their front porch in hopes he would still be alive. I cried every time I saw that. She still has a difficult time dealing with it.<br /><br />You will have to go back to Nova Scotia some time! The place of embarkation for the Acadians is where the monument marking the Planters is situated.<br /><br />LucieLucie LeBlanc Consentinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13480035657625949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33970917.post-58712977616713774072011-01-02T10:50:56.487-05:002011-01-02T10:50:56.487-05:00Wow, we visited Grand Pre when we were in Nova Sco...Wow, we visited Grand Pre when we were in Nova Scotia and I wish I had known about this painting. I have ancestors who were resettled in that area in the Planter's movement following the diaspora of the Acadians. The little story about Robert LeBlanc was interesting, too. We had a dear friend who also died on Flight 11 on Sept. 11th. This post really made me feel emotional on several different different levels, Lucie.Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.com
