I remember when I was a young girl, my Mum used to sing all the time to the
radio(old vera lynn songs etc) and i would say to her mommy how come you
know all the words to the songs, and she would say some day sweetie you will
know all the words to the songs , and I do, Mum was a war bride settled in
gananoque ont Diane Cobon/Tyson.----- Original Message -----
