6 Terrace Review — Wednesday, September 30, {987 Former residents send transatlantic greetings = Letter To the editor, “We send greetings to-you and our many friends in Terrace and wish to tell you a little story which illustrates so well the fact that it is a small world. We moved into our new home in Wales on Aug, 26 — a lovely bungalow home, in this beautiful border town, and as Nick found a few odd jobs to do, we called at our local builders yard to purchase a little rough lumber. To our amazement the wood we purchased was stamped “Skeena — Terrace”. Made us feel very close to you all even though it cost an ‘‘arm and-a ; leg’’. We often get a copy of your Terrace Review brought out by visiting friends and we read it avidly from cover to cover. We love our life here in Britain but will always have great memories of our life in Terrace and we miss many of our friends there. Please pass on regards and our hopes for Terrace’s pros-_ perity. We hope to visit next summer as we shall have been away five years and we wauid - like to renew our old friend- ships. _ * Could I ask that you send me a copy Of the Review after the November election, as I’m still . ‘Interested in the council and its work, . | Sincere regards, Nick & Molly Nattress 1 Rockbridge Park ' - .
