History, as seen from a t-shirt

I have written a lot, especially over the last few years. In 2020, working from home, I began telling everyone about my t-shirts. It was something to do - because I didn't have to commute 90 minutes a day!

The last shirt in that series had a stylized Canadian flag with over 200 people and facts on it.
THAT was my next project.

And that is how you find yourselves here.
Join me, and let's look at
