I must say, my favourite part of the Anglican Journal is The Anglican [the newspaper of the diocese of Toronto]. But in the most recent Journal, I read a lovely little article about Evelyn Chipperfield, 91 [Missives of comfort, Sept. 2012, p. 9]. She writes comforting letters of encouragement to those many housebound Anglicans who still are able to think but perhaps not act because of some limitation.Many of us of similar vintage can very much relate to her interesting life-Depression years and World War II experiences-as we strive to continue making worthwhile (very valuable) contributions.Would that our young people of today, consumed as they are by the new technology, be able to list their accomplishments should they be fortunate enough to live to 91.LeNore HalfnightEtobicoke, Ont.
