I’m just a Detroiter — born in Puerto Rico, but with family roots going back to New Hampshire and Boston before 1776.

Glad your grandparents came to Canada. They really are the best.

Recently visited Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario to catch a concert at The Isabel Bader Centre, one of the most beautiful concert halls on the planet. The name Bader is all over the campus, including the art gallery.

Dr. Alfred Bader was a teenage refugee from Europe, coming over in the days before WW2. After a year in a camp to determine whether he was a spy, Queen’s gave him a scholarship. He would go on to earn a doctorate in chemistry and later became very wealthy through his various enterprises and works. He returned the university’s support by giving back many millions, including a number of Rembrandt originals that had been owned by his family in Europe.
