Sights on Jarvis ~ Haldimand Ontario


Newspaper clipping* launching Robert Schweyer's book, Sights on Jarvis, a documentation of the Second World War years at the Jarvis training school for pilots from all over the world.

We join with our readers in sending our thoughts and prayers to our friends, Robert Schweyer and family.

~ Please get well soon, Robert.

The village of Cayuga is located on the Grand River which flows into Lake Erie. Kohler Road/Lakeshore is fifteen minutes from Cayuga.
