Kitchener residents have every reason to be proud of the Record and of Jeannette Tossounian, their own native Florence Nightingale. She has the kind of concern for others which moved those who risked all during the war years to help Jews escape the death camps. Tossounian is an example of selfless heroinism who will send an enduring and inspiring message to young people everywhere for her courage, her survival, her message, her life. To her -- and, symbolically, through her to Lynn Harichy and the others of that precious band, those few unacknowledged, oft misunderstood, frequently maligned dedicated ones -- I return the blessing so dearly bought, so freely bestowed.
