This blog is a still a relatively young thing — the Blogware version originated in October 2003 while a precursor on Blogger started in early 2002 — but there has never been anything close to the interest in one particular post than there has been for a call I put out shortly after Christmas for information on John and Jackie Knill, the Vancouver, B.C. couple who perished in the Asian Tsunami.
The saga of the Knills was in the news again last month after a U.S. missionary discovered a camera on the Thailand beach where the Knills died and was able to retrieve the pictures on that camera — pictures, it appears, that were taken by either John or Jackie as the waves were hitting the beach.
The full story — or links to more full versions of that story — is at my post, which was the most request blog entry here for the month of February. The rest of the top 10 most popular requests is also here, listed in descending order. The original posting date follows the link for each one. THe Knill post and the Celine Dion post were the only two posts, incidentally, that were also on January’s top 10 list.
Thanks again for stopping by.
