proudly shows hers to
anyone who is interested.
The letter is a gracious
thank you for the
Christmas stocking Verna
knitted for baby Prince
William.
She sent the per-
sonalized stocking upon
the announcement of the
baby’s birth but admits
she really didn’t expect
much of a response. In-
stead she received a letter
from Lady-in-Waiting
Anne Beckworth-smith,
thanking her on behalf of
the Prince and Princess of
Wales.
Verna has a special love
for the baby prince as her
own heritage is Welsh.
Her father, Nick, came to
the United States from
Bryn Mawr, Wales and
she has relatives still
lving there. She hopes to
travel there someday to
see her: father’s home-
land.
Her stocking story does
not end with a letter from
English royalty. The
Christmas stocking is a
favorite among her
friends, and she has made
many upon request.
Verna entered one in the
1982 Fall Fair and came
away with a blue ribbon.
The award thrilled her as
did her third place ribbon
for knitted pot scrubbers.
Verna, retired private
duty nurse, says she has
always enjoyed knitting
and finds it a great hobby
now that she has more
time.
She is. presently busy
preparing handmade
items for the Prince of
Peace Church Craft Show
on Nov. 3. Her holiday
crafts include potholders
season, = ice skate and
roller skate, pins,
caddies and warm,
snuggly slippers. Once the
show is over, she will
return to work on the
numerous’ orders she has
for stockings,
and other items.
