Since the pandemic, it has been more difficult to connect with our friends and family. To help connect with our church family, you can do that now.
St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Welland, Ontario, Canada 
Back when we were still able to attend church, I asked Dianne Yungblut if there were any more crosses made from our previous church doors. She assured me there were and then provided me with one. It is for my new grandson, Leo. The cross has been hung up on his bedroom wall, and it looks fantastic. Thank you Dianne for providing one for me, it was greatly appreciated.
For those who may not know what Bev was referring to in her comment, here’s a picture of one of the crosses that was made by Morley, Norm, Brian and Cliff Schultz from the damaged doors. The crosses were handed out at the 130th Anniversary reception at St. Matthew’s in 2006.
What appears to be instant success, has taken over 10 years. Kathryn attended and graduated (2011) from the London School of Fashion Design in London, UK before directly entering the market there. When the UK decided to exit the European Common Market, she was unable to have her work permit renewed. Kathryn then returned to Toronto, 5 years ago, establishing her own Studio.
Kathryn was interviewed recently on ET Canada about this recent success. The interview was aired Thursday, January 27thand can be viewed at this link – https://etcanada.com/video/82855642-7fbf-11ec-b219-0242ac110005/canadian-designer-kathryn-bowen-on-creating-looks-worn-by-kim-kardashian/
Similarly, a newspaper article appeared in the Saturday, January 29th edition of the Toronto Star about Kathryn’s success story.
