What a joy — five feet of asphalt with only walkers, skaters and bikers — WOW! If anyone is looking for a project ... Alma Watson got home last week and is giving lessons on posture and cane use. She is also enjoying visits from her sister Jean and nephews from Florida, California. Toronto and Kitchener as well as her many friends who are happy to see her doing so well.
