Letter: Return of medal was a group effort

Editor: Re: The letter from Mr. Doyharcabal (The Times, Nov. 27) regarding the return of his lost medal.

Dear Mr. Doyharcabal: Many hands took part in the happy return of your medal.

Really, your bliss would not be possible had it not been for a sharp-eyed four year old.  I think the ‘real’ thanks should go to the child who found it and brought it to mom’s attention.

Your soggy ribboned medal was found shortly after Remembrance Day in the parking lot of the child’s school —Pathway Montessori.

Located in the basement of St. Andrews United church in Fort Langley.

The pair brought it to teachers’ attention in hopes of finding the rightful owner.

We knew this was important and the owner would be dearly missing it.

Thinking that the owner may be a church member, that was our next course of action…and then Langley RCMP was notified.

We applaud you, Mr. Doyharcabal, for your service and for honouring your elders’ service.  Thank you for sharing your story with the readers.  We are all happy your medal found you.
