In 1976 I received a Santa Claus doll from Bertha while I was a patient at Children's Hospital. I still have the doll, and the Winnipeg Free Press News article that was written about the donation that Bertha made (with a picture of the many dolls in the article.) It's almost 40 years later, and I still think of Mrs. Rybak fondly for her generous donation to the hospital. - Posted by: Cassandra Scott (Donation Recipient) on: Feb 25, 2014
