towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and
round, it needs a big wide sounding word like... ow... ound...
round... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground! I
wonder if it will be friends with me?" -Douglas Adams,

Quote: I really loved working on this project
over the summer. The material we were working with was very
intresting I loved reading about the huge regattas
in the 1800s and trying to figured out for myself how James
Renforth died. It was like no other job I could have had this
summer.

Quote: This was a great experience. It felt really
good to get involved with my community and learn some new
things about its history. I am pleased with having learned
many valuable artistic and relations skills that will help
me to pursue visual arts as a career. I am very proud of what
my co-workers and I have accomplished as a team, and I will
never forget how much fun it was!

Quote: I can't thank Canada's Digital Collections,
the Rothesay Living Museum and especially Mr. Perkins enough.
The real-life experiences you always spoke about? I think
I really 'get it' this time. I'm ready for a history test
now. I will never forget our little room, the "Main Office."
"Is there another office?" "Well, no..."
I'll admit I questioned my sanity more than once... I think
Greg did too but we had a lot of fun.
