Friday 21st August 2009 would have been Pop’s 100th birthday.
I don’t know what he would have done by way of celebration. No doubt it would have been something that no centenarian should have been doing.
For his 89th birthday my then partner and I gave him a flying lesson (the first time he had ever been off the ground). He was trying to decide whether to go again for his 90th, or maybe try wing-walking instead ! Unfortunately he never got the opportunity.
So who was he ?…
This picture (which is deliberately grotty so that you won't copy it) is of two bald eagle chicks atop their "nest" in Labrador.
Actually, since meeting Amanda, there is probably more on here about her than Newfoundland, but times change, eh ?
