Presents from England In April 1977, I was a junior in high school and was fortunate to travel to England. My parents worked hard saving their money for this once-in-a-lifetime trip, and I was determined to bring them back very nice souvenirs. I bought two pieces of Royal Crown Derby English bone china from Stratford-Avon for my mother. She loved it! As for my dad, well, let’s just say I was so proud of his gift. I shopped at Harrods and bought him a genuine leather wallet for 20 pounds, which was equal to $40 during that time. I presented him with the souvenir, wearing a big smile from ear to ear. He opened it and smiled and then laughed as he looked at the back. Much to my surprise were the following words embossed in the leather “Made in Canada.” Tammy Johnson
