Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Re-reading letters from her son; an Ontario Hydro engineer working in Iran; Margaret Ward is one of 150 residents of Central Park Lodge who looked upon the mail delivery as a big event of the day. Mrs. Read used to get letters from her son twice a week for the past three years. Postal strike hurts many in order ways-those taking correspondence courses; or gardeners waiting to plant spring bulbs.
