Hi All: That UTube video was a very nice tribute to a great country. My 
family immigrated there in 1948 from a DP camp in northern Germany.  After 
10 interesting and productive years, we immigrated to the US. My mother was 
not for it. Mid May, I flew to Toronto to attend a family funeral. My aunt, 
a dentist, passed away at 92. We had a nice, small funeral.
While there, I was impressed that the people are more relaxed, and friendly, 
and open than down here. Toronto is a very nice city, with a lot of little 
parks, beautiful flowers, and people enjoying themselves. It seemed like a 
relaxing place. To top off the weekend- I met up with a neighbor friend I 
had not seen for 59 years. We reminisced for 5 hours. We both enjoyed our 
recollections.
