Aba Bayefsky was a young Canadian artist who enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force in the Second World War. Being an artist, he ended up assigned to the RCAF Historical Section as an official war artist. Late in the war, he was sent to the newly liberated Belsen concentration camp to...
My house was built in 1927 and has a porch running along the front. A few years ago we felt the original porch was getting very weary so we hired a couple of very nice fellows. A lot of people who replace their porches end up using decking material and the new porches look, frankly, tacky. We...
