Our profs have always told us that we'd have the most fun with stories that we were actually interested in. I had an awesome opportunity to mix business with pleasure when I popped into the LFP for a volunteer shift last week and the city editor asked me if I knew anything about history -- more specifically about Lt. Gen. Sir Arthur Currie, and his role at Vimy Ridge. I know quite a bit about Currie, a Strathroy/Kerwood native, through my work at Museum Strathroy-Caradoc, and had a blast talking to sources. So it was a win-win situation for the LFP and I. My boss was even able to get in on the action, showcasing some Currie-related items from the museum collection as the main photo for the piece.
It looks amazing in print, but an online version will have to do.

Congrats Bri! I'm proud of you! Good story by the way--although I did catch a couple grammatical mistakes--ha,ha. =P Just blame them on the copyeditor (even if there isn't one). =)
