Blogspot has changed the format, and I'm finding it hard to get used to it. Too confusing.

Eighty Years - Something to Celebrate
2009 represents a landmark 80 years since Emil Neumann decided to leave Russia for a new life in Canada. He and his wife, Adoline, arrived in Canada in May 1929, initially settling in Saskatchewan where they did farm work. Less than a year later he moved to Montreal, and then in 1946 moved to southern Ontario to buy a farm. I started this blog so that Emil's descendants and others of his relatives that owe their Canadian experience to his leadership, can reflect on his decision and celebrate the good life we have had in North America. Please share your stories and experiences.
