From Mary Ruth Sparks on holiday in London, England
—November 1963
Y  Maggie Wilson called me the night I arrived in London. She
,  and the three FNS girls now at Woolwich came to my hotel the
L next day, and we went together to the Thanksgiving Day Re-
i union at Watford. There were nineteen members of the old staff
 · there, and I was able to enter into most of their reminiscing,
  as many of them had been stationed at the centers at Confluence
{ and Bowlingtown. The best surprise was to see Bridie (Galla-
3  gher). We are going to the theater together to-night, and Betty
l Hillman is driving me to Stratford tomorrow. Your pre-trip
Y  information is being most helpful, and I am loving every minute.
i  If it were not for my little job of work at home, I would be ap-
‘  plying for work here! I will probably be home shortly after
f Christmas.
I  From Nora Kelly i11 Bushey, Herts., England

. This note cannot in any way convey to you how all 19 FNS-
Y  ers, who have just left my house tonight, feel towards you per-
` sonally, the Frontier Nursing Service, and the American people
2 at this time. I am sure that in our hearts we pray that God will
”  comfort and lead the nation in this dark hour.
i The 19 present for the re-union were: Ellen Marsh, Peggy
McQueen, Lorraine Jerry, Janet Hudson, Margaret Willson, Jill
, Ash, Joan Antcliff, Anne Curry, Eve Chetwynd, Eileen Grogan,
» Mary Ruth Sparks, Bridget Gallagher, Susan McKee, Doris Duns-
  tan, Janet Coleman, Gladys Doubleday, Betty Hillman, Winifred
" Dennis and Nora Kelly. We had messages from Ada Worcester,
‘ Edith and Ethel Mickle, May Green, Annie Ellison and Violet
Clark, Alison Bray, Bessie Waller and Marjorie Jackson. Every-
V one sent very best wishes to all the FNS.
