On this day in 1994, Corporal Mark Isfeld was killed by a landmine in Croatia. While on tour, he often knitted dolls (Izzy Dolls) for children. His mother and others continued this tradition and to date over two million Izzy Dolls have been sent to children in conflict zones.

Happy Loyalist Day (celebrated in Ontario by the descendants of the Americans who wanted to stay with the British and fled the US revolution into Canada)!

Perhaps a (very faint) silver lining from Trump losing to Iran is that maybe he might now accept that Ukraine is capable of forcing Russia to accept a deal too. But maybe I am being too optimistic.

Here's some hockey history. Gordie Howe vs Wayne Gretzky in the WHA semi-finals, April 27 1979. The Oilers won the game 5-9, and went on to lose to the Winnipeg Jets in the finals. This was the final season before the WHA merged with the NHL Shot on Super8 film #Film #History #Hockey #NHL
