THE
ACADIAN PYRAMIDS
In
August 2008, Mr Gordon R Greeno deposited a two
page text entitled "The
Acadian Pyramids" at Grand-Pré National
Historic Site. It is with his permission that we are posting
it on our web site.
Mr
Greeno is 76 years old and was born in Mount Denson (Hants
County). He worked as a labourer for about 10 years before
joining the Army. He left school after Grade 8 but was
able to upgrade his education during his years in the
Army. As he indicates in his text, he worked on the dykes
in Hants, Kings and Annapolis Counties from 1950 to 1956.
Intimately familiar with the hard work and technical skills
involved in dyke-building, he has profound admiration
for what the Acadians accomplished in the 1600s. He considers
the dykes built by the Acadians more impressive than the
pyramids of Egypt.
He
was a member of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force
and was stationed on the Gaza Strip. He worked for the
government for a number years after retiring from the
Army. He currently works as a Commissionaire in Wolfville.
