  • The story behind the picture 
      In his recent biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, Alan Schom comments, "We may sometimes try to forget history, but it does not forget us."  Most of the features on this site are a personal attempt to relate the story behind a photograph, in order not to forget some small part of our history.  Some special events will be of interest only to friends & family,
      Many of the topics will deal with some aspect of life a long time ago. Most will have some connections to Smiths Falls, Ontario.  I invite responses from anybody who views these pages.  If you can add some more information, have any comments or questions, please let me know.
