Cards of Thanks SPIVAK Home at last! I want to thank all the people who have helped me during the last eight months. The young fireman from Stratford who shooed me back into the car, climbed in behind and held my head steady until his own hands shook. The ambulance people who handled things efficiently and as gently as possible and the two young policemen whose kindly manner really impressed me. To the many people in orthopedics at Goderich Hospital, doctors and nurses galore, therapists, cooks, cleaners and even some patients who encouraged and cheered me on. To the folks at Pinecrest Nursing Home and Dr. Shubat for your care and companionship. To my friends and relatives who came with strengthening words and gifts to cheer and encourage me. To my family for caring for my affairs and needs in spite of being on a tight schedule. To the County Services who are making being at home possible. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
