Past Events
On May 22, six visitors from the Netherlands
were guests at a Windsor-Roseland Rotary lunch. Guest speaker
was Stan Jones, Bad Penny Wireless Operator, who recounted
his experience during Bad Penny’s first flight in to
Holland to drop food for the Dutch. Although they had not
lived during those desperate days of WWII, the visitors were
moved by Stan’s speech, as were the Rotary members,
and he was given a standing ovation.
The Dutch visitors each received a signed copy of “A Bad Penny Always Comes
Back”. Author Glen Mitchell was unable to attend as he was out of the country.

D.M. Eagle School, November 2006
In November 2006, Author Glen Mitchell visited
The Eagle's Nest at D.M. Eagle School in St. Clair Beach,
Ontario to share his story, "A Bad Penny Always Comes
Back." The tale of the Lancaster bomber and its crew
and their journey to feed the people of Holland during the
Second World War led the children to ask many thoughtful
questions. They no longer wonder why Holland sends thousands
of tulips to Ottawa each year. They know that the beautiful
flowers are a thank you gift to all Canadians for helping
their people during the war and an expression of friendship
between the two countries. "Each and every flower is
a sign of love from all the Dutch children." In this
photo, student Kate Morrison gives Glen a thank you gift
from D. M. Eagle students, including a donation on his behalf
to the A.L.S. Society of Windsor and Essex County.
