Creating a “Wall of Sweethearts” was just one of the ways many in local seniors’ residences celebrated this week for Valentine’s Day.
At Chinook Village Eileen Marchand gazes at the three photographs she has displayed on the wall. There is one taken on the day she married Ernest in 1947 after he was discharged from the army following service in the Second World War. Eileen looks chic in a stylish suit and hat.
“Your legs and smile attracted me to you, is what my husband told me later,” she reveals with a smile.
