'I come from a line of letter writers.' | SaltWire
Annapolis Valley Register columnist Anne Crossman is a former journalist and media manager. She now does volunteer work in her community of Annapolis Royal, Annapolis County. - ContributedANNAPOLIS ROYAL, N.S. — I come from a line of letter writers.
She kept in touch with me that way for years and years. I was always the one who was far away so writing a letter was called for – in answer to hers.ANNE CROSSMAN: Columnist reminisces about neighbours as she settles into Annapolis Royal, N.S. There was the lovely lady who helped Mom after my youngest brother was born. She lived just over the border with Germany from our home in Echternach, Luxembourg. It was fun to listen to them talking – Mom had taken German in school but that was some time ago, so she was learning all the time. They exchanged notes and Christmas cards every year.I just re-read my grandmother’s wedding book. It was written in 1914 and has all kinds of details about the when, the who, and the what in it.
One of the better ideas I had back then was to ask my mother to hang on to any letters that I wrote to her from the North. She did and I have been going through them. What fun it has been! The ones she kept go from 1978 to 1981. They covered a lot of ground – from Yellowknife, NT, to Prince Rupert, B.C., to La Ronge, Sask. I know there were more, but these are ones she kept.
