Flying Santa visits Canada, 1949


My friend Chris Mills in Nova Scotia has alerted me to a great audio clip available online on the CBC Archives site. The clip is from Nov. 21, 1949, and concerns the visit of the Flying Santa, Edward Rowe Snow, to Atlantic Canada lighthouses that year. Click here to go to the page.

This year's Flying Santa flights to lighthouses and Coast Guard stations will take place over the next couple of weeks -- you can read all about it on the Friends of Flying Santa website.

  1. And after three prior tournament games where the Spartans went a total of Ray Ban Glasses 40 for 68 from the foul line (59 percent), they hit 75 percent of their charity shots Sunday, compared with Louisville's 69 percent. This provided a sufficient margin to get Michigan State their hard fought overtime win. Coach Outlet Store Izzo, speaking of this Final Four run after the game, said "It'll go down as the best one, just because of all we went through all year." Improbable, Coach Handbags Clearance perhaps; but no less satisfying for the Coach Outlet Spartans.. Ray Ban Outlet

    One morning, I'd woken up to find two New Jordan Shoes 2020 red dots on the main purplish blue vein running down my left arm. It was early 2009, and New York City was awash in bedbug scares: they infested offices, clothing stores, movie theaters, and Yeezy Discount park benches. Though I wasn't naturally a worrier, my dreams had been occupied for two Yeezy Boost 350 nights straight by finger long bedbugs.
