Congratulations on celebrating your 50th...Hi Maria,<br />Congratulations on celebrating your 50th anniversary of arrival in Canada. I love the photo of the little girl (you). Very stylish. Our parents really dressed us up back then and we were cooler than we knew! <br />Thank you for sharing your story of your flight to Canada. It brought back memories of my own trip one year later on yet another cold February day!<br />How wonderful that after all these decades we can learn of one another and share our stories.<br />Emanuel<br />Emanuel Melohttps://thetorzorean.comnoreply@blogger.com
