My high school class ring: Muskegon (Michigan) High School class of 1961. We have a 60th year class reunion scheduled for late August. I took this photo because I wonder if the border will be open by then. As one of my classmates observed during our senior year, our class was the last one until the year 6009 whose grad...

Image

Lockdown Photos: The Background and Some Reflections
On April 8, 2021, the Province of Ontario issued a "Stay-at-Home" proclamation which basically meant we couldn't go into any stores, except for essential items (try to define that!), all restaurants and pubs were closed except for take-out and delivery, we weren't to have any visitors or to visit anyone, and we weren't to meet for outdoor activities for people...
