This is my great grandma Dorothy. She is 92 years old which means she was alive for new years 1916! Wow, has she ever seen some amazing changes in all those years I bet. It is amazing to think she has seen a great depression, the end of one world war and another after that. She was born in England and lived there throughout World War II, only coming to Canada at the end of the war with two small boys. She married my Grandfather (a Canadian) while he was still in the service taking a huge risk he would survive the horrors of World War II. She is a truely amazing person full of courage and curiosity.
