Thanks for the link.

Maritimers have always displayed a generous spirit, whether from the USA or Canada.

 

A bond has always existed between these east-coast folks.

 

On September 11, 2001, 50 flights originating in Europe were forced to land in Halifax. Many others of course landed at other Canadian airports, seeking refuge for a couple of days.

 

That's just a small glimpse of the enduring, two-way relationship, which exists between this pair of two magnificent neighbours.

 

 

We had a family stay with us for a week during that time. And we are still in touch with them.

How very kind and generous of you to take them in. I am sure there is no limit to their appreciation.

It was what we felt was the right thing to do. :)

Thank you, Sail7seas, for posting this thread. I wasn't aware of this piece of history connecting Boston and Halifax. It's heart warming and encouraging that the human spirit can rise above such a tragedy.

 

Happy holidays.
