This photo ws taken in 1944 when I was 21 years old. My new husband, Eddie, was overseas flying in the war as a co-pilot on a Sunderland Flying Boat. I’m wearing the wedding outfit my mother made for me. It was brown with a robin’s-egg blue blouse. We were married at home on New Year’s Day, while Eddie was on leave.

It was a lonely time for me and my friends whose husband or boyfriends were overseas. We worried a lot. I’d go downtown from West Van by ferry to shop and that would cheer me up.
