Our Readers Write Recall Friends Dear Sir
On this date last year my husband and I stayed with our son Ron Lewis and June in Berkeley California then enjoyed our first Canadian Christmas with friends at Acton. We felt 3,000 miles from home yet welcomed by friendly Acton folk at churches and gatherings and heard from friends in Acton and Toronto. Mike Bevan and his family visited us here and their children attended school. we were sad when he had to return to Canada.
