From the Underground Railroad to presidential porches, historical sites offer visitors a new experience and a social studies lesson all in one. At historic sites across the nation, tourists can enter into a different time, worldview, or social status with nothing more than a park pass. We can visit some locations to pay our respects to painful pasts, and others to celebrate American icons and pioneers.

Michael A. Ige pays tribute to Olabisi, surgeon, entrepreneur and philanthropist
Penning a tribute that captures the elephant-size life of my departed uncle, mentor and father-figure, Dr. John Oyediran Olabisi, who transited on January 13 at 71, was a difficult task. Not for lack of words or how to express my thoughts. Being far younger to him, I considered myself unqualified to document Omooba Olabisi sufficiently. He was a rare human type whose impact on me, as well as on others, made tribute writing a great task.
In every respect, Dr. Olabisi was one of the greatest men Henry W. Longfellow had in mind in his poetic lines: Life of great men all remind us; we can make our lives sublime; and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.

In this week s interview we talk to Chris Suitor (38) who lives in Dundonald with this wife Nichola (37), daughters Ava (9) and Lois (7), and pet dog Gucci. Chris is a partner and Creative Director at Suitor Brothers, Belfast
Q. Tell us about your childhood
A. I grew up in Dundonald with my parents Tom and Carol, and my big brother William. We were a very close, happy family and still are to this day.
Both my parents had businesses, so family time was precious due to how much effort they put into making their business work. It was a great lesson in managing work and family, in which I think they did very well.
