Christmas at the C of E Orphanage, St. John’s in the Late ’40s
Dear Ron: An article entitled “Letters from Orphans” appearing in the Dec. 2010 edition intrigued me. It brought back memories of the late '40s when I was a young lad living in St. John’s. At that time an uncle was manager of the C of E Orphanage, and our family visited the orphanage occasionally, especially for the annual Christmas parties. What a great time was had by all. It was most heart warming to see the excitement on the faces of those kids who looked forward to the occasion. There are memories I will never forget. Submitted By: John Cornick
