THE ICELANDIC CANADIAN
WINTER 1979
Christmas Day!” The televised service at
Calvary Church of three years before had
reached Sweden! Gudridur (Gulla) had
often attended those services when she lived
in Seattle.
Plans are now underway for this year’s
Icelandic Christmas service. We hope they
can continue for years to come. For we in
Seattle join with you'of THE ICELANDIC
CANADIAN in a desire to maintain as
much of our Icelandic heritage and culture
as long as possible.
THE COVER PICTURE
In planning the cover of this issue of our
magazine, the writer consulted with Gissur
Eliasson, professor emeritus of Art at the
University of Manitoba and a member of our
Magazine Board. We agreed that not only is
this picture a typical and an applicable por-
trayal of the more attractive aspects of
winter, but also it depicts so delightfully the
spirt of the Year of the Child.
This is the Year of the Child.
Children share the joy and promise of
Christmas with their elders.
Children are vibrant, dynamic.
Children are the future.
The cover picture is that of eight-year-old
Tracy Lynn Vopnford of Bellingham,
Washington.
