In all likelihood, the odds are very much against your being related to any royalty in Nigeria. E-mails promising a share of some lost treasure in exchange for your bank account details prey on people’s greed; all you would get out of one of these “419” scams is an empty bank account and possible criminal charges. Just ignore and delete these E-mails.

The commemoration of Veterans or Remembrance Day on November 11 provides an opportunity to thank those who have served our country, or any other nation, in times of war or national disaster. In this spirit, a display is planned in the Bouwhuis Library to honor Canisius’ family of veterans, particularly those who’ve served over the past 25 or so years.
Traditionally, November is a time to reflect and remember deceased loved ones. It is also the month we remember and give thanks for good fortune and the bounty we have to live in a free country.
If you would like to include the name or photo of a Canisius service person in the display, please contact Kathy Kelly at Ext. 2240 or kelly7@canisius.edu by Monday, November 2.
