David and Eva Bross were two Holocaust survivors who endured and survived the second world war. As Polish Jews during the Holocaust, David Bross lost his wife and four children, and Eva Bross lost her husband and two children, before immigrating to Canada following the war. Their sole son, Alon Bross, is a close friend of my family.

Skaai Davison is heading for Oxford University in England this fall to do an MSc in Embryology. She prepared herself to make this leap across the ocean by excelling in all the Biology, Chemistry and other courses she took at Nipissing University during her four years here. She made good use of specialized upper-year courses to distinguish herself from other students who are competing to get into Graduate School at Oxford University.
