Edna

This letter was sent to the School Principal's office after the school had sponsored a luncheon for seniors. An elderly lady received a new radio at the lunch as a door raffle prize and was writing to say thank you.

Dear Lions Bay School,

God bless you for the beautiful radio I won at your recent Senior Citizens luncheon. I am 87 years old and live at the West Vancouver Home for the Aged. All of my family has passed away so I am all alone. I want to thank you for the kindness you have shown to a forgotten old lady.

My roommate is 95 and has always had her own radio; but, she would never let me listen to it. She said it belonged to her long dead husband, and understandably, wanted to keep it safe.

The other day her radio fell off the nightstand and broke into a dozen pieces. It was awful and she was in tears. She asked if she could listen to mine, and I was overjoyed that I could tell her to bugger off.

Thank you for that wonderful opportunity.

God bless you all.

Sincerely,

Edna

The Golden (Girls) Rule here, Sandee! Nice story. :)

Speaking of seniors, I never know about those church and school senior affairs, whether they are for Senior Citizens or Senior H.S. Students??? Sometimes I show up when no one else has grey hair. :)

What is the minimum age to tell someone to bugger off?

I guess age hasn't mellowed her much.
