Resident benefitted from WWII aid

Editor:

I always read with great interest and appreciation Helen Blackburn’s excellent “Local History” columns. 

In last week’s Creemore Echo Helen told us about life in Creemore and area during World War Two.

I was a child in England then, and I remember all too well the bombing of our family home in the “Liverpool Blitz” of May 1941. So many of our possessions were lost, and it was with gratitude and delight that our family was one of the beneficiaries of the clothing parcels sent from Canada and the U.S.

I can’t be totally certain that any of our new outfits came from St. Luke’s Creemore, but who knows? All I do know for sure is that those parcels were very, very welcome.

Thank you, Creemore, for all your support during those truly dark days.

Pat Raible,

Creemore.
