From the Army Cadet League: The Army Cadet League has been asked to assist in cheering up a lady that was a WW II veteran and who is 99 years old. She has had a particularly hard year as she has no family nearby. With Covid-19 she has stayed close to home, and has had little contact with others since March. It would be appreciated if you could please send her a Christmas card to cheer her up at this time of year.... Her name and address are: Bunny McIntyre, 734 Waverly Road, Dartmouth, NS B2X 2G4 Let’s brighten her Christmas with Christmas cards from across the country and a thank you for her valued wartime service. Please consider forwarding this request to others on your email contact list. Thank you
