goodbye to the Flying Fox
When we signed up the teen book, Day of the Flying Fox: The True Story of World War 2 Pilot Charley Fox, I was excited to know that Charley Fox would be around to talk about this book in person. Nothing is more powerful than to hear the stories directly from the person who lived them. I was shocked to see that Charley died this past weekend in a car accident and know he will be sadly missed. His exploits in WW2 were important and noteworthy but his commitment to telling the stories of the soldiers who fought for Canada in WW2 were just as important. Through Torch Bearers, the non-profit organization Charley founded, he told the stories of Canada’s military expoits and the men and women behind them. Charley has left a legacy of rememberance that will live on for many years.
