Good Morning from Ontario.
Wasn't I just pleased when I visited my father in the nursing home and he showed me that you had used my article "A Tragic Treasure" with photos of my dearly departed mother. Awww... Thank you. I wasn't sure if you were going to put it in, so this sort of made my day.

Also, there is a mistake in the article - my fault not yours! In paragraph two I think it was, you included the account of my mom's German U-Boat account you published in 2011. I said it happened in the early thirties. Wrong! It was the early forties. It's a mistake I missed when submitting the article. Too late now - can't put toothpaste back in the tube now that it's out there! However, if any reader brings that up, please apologize for me. The war didn't even begin until 1939.

Anyhow, it was a buzz seeing my mom's account in The Downhome. Thanks for the buzz! I do really hope mom's account encourages others to talk about what they've found on the beaches of Newfoundland's shores and submit articles to you about it - so interesting.

Have a great Newfoundland day!
