My Mom passed away 3 years ago about 2 weeks before her 93rd Birthday. She was well and living on her own for 92 of those years. She was a wonderful mother to us children and an amazing and courageous woman. I am just now going through her things. My grandaughter needed an artifact of someone in her family for a class project. I did come upon a clipping from the newspaper noting her award for achieving the highest marks in wireless school for all of Canada. my mom is on the left

Slow I'm afraid guys. Working on some then and now photos of the airfields and still gathering veterans stories and experiences.
Also looking at where and what the boys got up to on their nights off in York and Harrogate

Will eventually update you
