CDR Kurtz. Thank you for your beautiful note to the Wrens regarding the Centennial Rose Poster/and Pin. Although the note was sent to me, all our members have shared in its sentiments. We have noted it in our newsletter 'Jenny Wren Times'. As always we are proud to be part of the Naval Heritage.

Dearest Josee: It is with considerable joy and pride that I learned of your recognition as one of The top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada. My original assessment as told to your parents in 1991 that you were born to occupy a Captain's chair was obviously correct. Bravo Zulu

Today we remember all the men and woman who have served to preserve our quality of life. During the 2nd WW my father was on the Waskiesu 330. I was surprised to see your ship is 330. There is a book out written by Duane Duff about the Waskiesu- Canada's first Cdn built figate and her exploits during the war. The secondd edition was put out for the 100th anniversary. My father was able to meet some of his old shipmates prior to his passing at 94 1/2 in March 2009. The stories are in the book.G

Hi, I wanted to know if it was possible for you to send me a HMCS Halifax ball cap? I recently was back in Halifax and already miss the Maritime hospitality and sailors here in Toronto. BZ to your amazing role in Haiti, from my personal experience in Haiti, members of HMCS Halifax will not be forgotten by the Haitians. A helping hand is never forgotten by these people. They certainly have humbled many. My address here is 3 Bonnyview Drive, Etobicoke, ON M8Y3G5. All the best to HMCS Halifax.

Is it possible to purchase a HMCS Halifax cap? If you could email me back I would greatly appreciate it. To the crew of HMCS Halifax, what a commendable job you all did dealing with the disastrous situation in Haiti. You made a difference, one I am sure the Haitians won't forget! BZ Halifax!!

CDR Josee Kurtz. We, the Rose Committee, would like to send you a Canadian Naval Centennial Rose Poster. The rose is our project for the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Navy. The rose is named Navy Lady for the Wrens and a tribute to all the men and women past, present and future. We chose a picture of a working ship Halifax and we think has you in it...We were pleased to note this as WRCNS were also first women. If you could would you please send us a mailing address to send the poster.
