Remembrance Day

One of the very special things that happened at Granny's birthday party was that her niece, Cathy, presented her with a letter that her family had found in their basement during a cleanup. The letter was one that Havelock had written to Ruth from London on V-E Day when the war was finally over and the streets were filled with celebrations and parades. Ruth hadn't seen it for over 50 years and it was a really sweet gift. The story made it in to the Edmonton Journal on Remembrance Day this year along with this photo.
