Our adult son David Finkelman was killed by a distracted driver nearly eight years ago. The pain is as raw today as it was then. Yet Kaycee Madu, KC, ECA is upset he got a distracted driving ticket. Walk a mile in our shoes Mr. Madu. Resign.

On the 8th anniversary of our son's death by a distracted driver, I am angry little has changed. Entitled motorists like Kaycee Madu, KC, ECA still ignore the rules, while Jason Kenney ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ is making YEG's new 40k residential speeds almost unenforceable with new restrictions on photo radar.

Raising this much money will not be easy. City needs to step up big time. They signed a 25-year lease, promised to maintain the hangar and now wants to reneg. #aviation #aviationhistory #yegcc Alberta Aviation Museum Amarjeet Sohi Archive - Anne Stevenson

Where better to hold a Remembrance Day ceremony than in an original World War II hangar. Let's hope we can continue to host this important event at Hangar 14 for years to come. Alberta Aviation Museum @CATPMuseum Historic Edmonton #aviation #History

We have lost another one of our valued volunteers. Bruce Ramshaw was a popular interpreter who was not only a walking encyclopedia but had "the gift of the gab." He informed and entertained visitors with his approachable style. Our condolences to his friends and family. #history

On Remembrance Day we speak with Jim Cornish about his dad, Owen Cornish, who flew from Hangar 14 with 418 City of Edmonton Squadron in the 50s and Halifax bombers over Europe during the Second World War. Alberta Aviation Museum #History #aviation #RemembranceDay youtu.be/rMKNKztWeaA

It was great to see the Alberta Aviation Museum full - for the first time in three years - to mark Remembrance Day. We have hosted this service for almost 30 years. Let's hope the city will let us hold it for another 30.youtu.be/V-qzSuO1pzs Alberta Aviation Museum Archive - Anne Stevenson #history

A great video tour of an airplane close to my heart. I spent a couple of years inside Daisy Mae as part of the restoration crew.

Ten years. 87,648 hours. That's how long it's been since a distracted driver killed our son David Finkelman. I feel every second of it. This week 2 pedestrians were severely injured by careless drivers. When will it stop? Drive like your child's life is at risk. Because ours was.
