Randall’s Rant (Thu. Apr. 30): A 90 year old WWII vet has been invited to attend weekend ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of Canada’s efforts to liberate the Netherlands from the Nazis.  Because of his age, and health problems, he wants(needs) his son go with him.  But his son, a teacher, is not being allowed to go because his school board says teachers can’t take vacations while school is in session – even unpaid vacations!  What a disgraceful way to treat one of our war vets. Thoughts? ~ Randall
