Friends
the
book was a "gift" from the canadian people to the american people. it was
published in just the year 1976 to commemorate the usa bicentennial.
it
was on my to-be-bought list for years. i stumbled upon one in a used book
store in boston in the early 80s.
tracking one down is difficult. although now there
are used and rare book sites on the web, which should make it
easier.

Do you have more details about Between
Frinds?
I am trying to track it down!

m-
i drove past the hoganburg's fire department
years ago (1979 to be exact)
and remember its slogan with two flags:
one from usa and one from canada.
so, they are probably not counting
akwesasne.
i was driving from detroit to southern connecticut and
took the "long way",
i.e. via ontario, canada. i had just purchased the
book "between friends"
and took the opportunity to visit many of the
border interests that were
portrayed in that book: hoganburg, point
rouses, derby line, norton.
never did have to explain to others why
an approximate 2 day, 900 mile trip
took me double that. i thought i
was a member of club of one...in fact,
never met anyone with my border
interests until just a few years ago, thanks
to the internet.

regards,
bob
