Canadian Women at War (1939-1945)

MARK and (others)

I don't recall if I ever mentioned this but a while back I fired off an email to Carolyn Gossage, the author of "Greatcoats and Glamour Boots" and told her about my AUNTY AMY, Dad's sister who served with the Navy in NFLD in WW2.
End result of that exchange was that Carolyn sent my Aunty Amy a signed copy of this book.

My Aunt was so happy to be surprized when she collected it from her mailbox. Amy said that was the FIRST time anyone ever showed her recognition and appreciation for her service

Aunty Amy was born about 1924 and its sad she's waited 60 years til so elderly before someone even thought to do such a small acknowledgement for her.

I'm glad I instigated this ... and MARK ... I wouldn't have, this wouldn't have happened if not for you.

See ..... play it forward.

Thank you Mark ... my Aunt was so touched.

hugs,

Karmen
