The End – Marjorie Anne Heinrichs
MARJORIE ANNE HEINRICHS was born in Morris, Man., on March 2, 1956, the second of six children born to Helen and Sydney Reimer, a financial adviser

MARJORIE ANNE HEINRICHS was born in Morris, Man., on March 2, 1956, the second of six children born to Helen and Sydney Reimer, a financial adviser.

The border agent asked us the purpose of our visit and we told him about our baking supply list and he asked us if we were planning on making “divinity.” I got real curious on this “divinity” and searched high and low for a recipe so I could try this scrumptious candy that he said was a “must” on a Christmas plate of dainties.
