Scottish nurse and Canadian soldier wed after long correspondence
Nineteen years after a Scottish nurse slipped her name into a soap wrapper for a patriotic fund, a Canadian Scotsman named Christie received it and they began a letters pace that led to marriage. She later moved to New York and married him in Vancouver where they first met. Christie once fought a grizzly in the Yukon, recalling an Indian chief who counseled to hug the bear before drawing his knife. He endured agony and privation, aided after a week, and was twice decorated in the Great War.
