[Bell Historians] Halifax

[Alan Ellis]

Hello George,

Thanks for the information George.  It is true - how much one does not 
know about ones own (adopted) country!   

Halifax, Nova Scotia, is a lovely city and the explosion in WWI did not 
destroy everything.  

It is only a short hop to Halifax from Vancouver, about 8 hours by 
plane, so I do not get there too often.

There is an old joke here that one gentleman's son from the UK was 
flying from London to Halifax, and so the UK gentleman called his 
brother in Vancouver and asked for his son to be picked up.  The 
Vancouver brother answered "You pick him up.  You're closer"!

Best wishes

Alan
