a large contingent from Canada. Did you
know that between 1939 and 1945,1 a
garter of a million young women joined
the Women's Asedlluy Air Force? Out el
that great number, 1 met 4nany who'd
served with me, one back in 1940 at my
fWat permanent station. X recopirad her
at once and plan to keep in touch from
here on. We had five dela of celebrations
with a banquet in the Connaught Room,
a trip down the Therese by river boat to
the new Thames bonier, a day at Hen-
don visiting the R.A.F. Museum; a sere
vice of thanksgiving in St. Paul's
Cathedral with our Patron, the Dowage
Duchess of Glouceeter, aged 411,
in full uniform, and a farewell party in
the Commonwealth Institute, all a
ly super.
/ remember seeing the Duchess of
Gloucester when I was a "rookie" back
In 1940, newly bombed out of London and
On my first permanent station. She was
very sweet and shy with hair the colour
'of autumn beech leaves.
In between whiles, 1 managed to see
my son who's in London, busily
translating books and articles from
French, German, Italian and Spanish. He
gave me a copy of his latest on the
famous conductor Furtwangler and I'm
still thrilled to see his name in print, also

In August, we entertained my cousin
and her husband from Vancouver for a
whole nsonth. In this country in the sum-
mer, pensioners can travel all day,
anywhere in the province, foe onePound
so instead of Wing a car, they toured
here, there and everywhere, 'getting a
great kick out of it all, stoPPhle for a
night or two or three wherever they fan -
tied. When they'd gone I tock off for the
• Highlands of Scotland to visit an ex -Ward
who served with me at Fighter Coin -
mond. She can't get over the loss of her
• husband and is In poor health. From
there to Yorkshire to cousins I don't see
• nearly often enough, The husband is an
'artist and restores Dresden, Meissen,
• priceless pieces that have •suffered
damage and which he often collects from
antique shops in small bits. His house is
• full of beauty as he does this not for gain
but for his own pleasure. I flew home in
the smallest plane I've ever sat in with
only 11 passengers, We all got two 'cups
of coffee each to show how they. valued
us!
In October, my brother flew in from "
California for the first time "home" in
nearly 20 years and 1 can hardly tell you
what a joy that was. I've a feeling he
thought there was fighting in the streets
• here as he was really astonished by the -
warmth of the welcome he received from
• EVERYONE and how peaceful and love'
•ly it is and lime friendly the people. We
had two weeks of absolute bliss with -him
and he was se thrilled with everything he
saw and everyone he met that he plans
another visit in the spring„, this ,time
• bringing his wife. She is an ex-Waaf from
Aberdeen. His daughter is a doctor in•
San Francisco and his son works with
mentally handicapped young people in
Santa Cruz. Though an ex -pilot, he works
on subina.rines-for Lockheeds.
Now my sister, is off to Malaysia for
three months with her daughter and
family in Kuala Lumpur, my son is spen-
ding Cluisbnas with his girl friend's •
bunny in Cornwall and my husband and
I will be alone at Christmas for the first
• time EVER. After such a frantic year,
• we both look forward to some peace and
quiet, gathering up our energies for 1990
which promises to be even more crowd-
ed with events of, all kinds, ineluding the
• arrival in May of 100 ex -service' Belglan
veterans to celebrate the 45th anniver-
sary of their arrival in this country for
•. training at the end of the 439 - '45 war.
We are to arrange Civic and Legion
• receptions for them all.
I'd .always thought that retirement .
would bring tranquility, time for dreams
and reflections, but you can see that's not
what's happening for us. Never mind. It's
a lovely life. And remember, my Cana-
dian friends; no matter how rushed we
are with thk3 and that, there'll always be
a welcome for you here in our
Duirgannon. •
A Merry awistmas to you all and
many many good wishes for a Happy
New Year. .

a It Isn't Easy
To apologize,
To begin again,
To admit error,
To be unselfish,
To face a sneer,
To be considerate,
To endure success
To keep on trying,
To profit by ndstakes,
To forgive and forget.
• To think and then act,
• To keep out of the rut, '
To make the best of little,
To shoulder deserved blame,
To subdue an ugly temper,
To maintain a high standard,
To recognise the silver llnhig,
But - it always pays! 0
