Ida
Leo
Leaving
her Mark
Finding something to do in retirement has never been a problem for Ida Leo of Canada. She's always enough on her plate, and, reading's at the top of her list. And, biographies are the books she loves most. She finds people interesting. And, many people who read think she's interesting, too! And, all for a very good reason.
It
all began on a cold winter evening. It was 2001. Ida was sitting in
front of the fire with a very good book and every page was exciting.
And, then the telephone rang, and, without even thinking, she picked
up a photo of her daughter to use as a bookmark. And then,
after saying goodbye on the phone she went back to her book. And,
there it was and waiting for her! Her daughter's wonderful smile.
And, Ida Leo felt happy and had an idea. And that was the start.
Soon,
Ida Leo was turning old photos into
bookmarks and the results were amazing. There, once again, were all
the people she knew, and, they were once again part of her
life. And, Ida stopped feeling alone. And, if Ida felt great,
then why not the others as well?
And
soon the rest of her family were catching up on their pasts with
bookmarks by Ida. And, it didn't stop there. Word spread, and within
just a very short space of time, Ida was getting pictures through the
post to turn into bookmarks. Ida Leo was in business.
And
now, remembering has become something more liquid. Ida Leo now
makes personalized coasters as well. There is something for
everyone! And this is the best that could happen to old family
snaps. They have come back to the heart of the family, back to where
they belong.
And,
Ida's long winter evenings? They are no longer long. Ida has too much
to do! Her personalized bookmarks are in everyone's books.
There is no one in Canada without one! Aida Leo is leaving her
mark. And now, thanks to her, people are not only thinking of those
from long, long ago, but, spending time reading with those that they
love! What a great way to read! And, what could be better?
