Something different today. This is a font that I made from WWI records of enlistements from my father’s (Yeadon) and mother’s (grandmother was Barnhill) families.

Now that the dust has settled from the coronation of Justin Trudeau as the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, it will be interesting if the Trudeau team can capitalize on the interest surrounding the new leader that is buzzing on social media.
