A generous, thoughtful surprise

Dear Editor

On November 9th, at our grandchildren’s French Immersion School in Chestermere, my wife & I, invited by our daughter, attended the school’s Remembrance Day event.  Before leaving the school, a woman approached and gave me an envelope. I never thought until several days later to open the envelope.

To our surprise, we had received Calgary Flames tickets. We can’t even remember the last time we’d gone to a Flames game.  We will remember this one for a long, long time, for that night January 13th, the Flames beat the Coyotes 7-1.

Our thanks go out to the two young students and the adult who purchased the tickets. What a thoughtful and generous thing to do.
