LEST WE FORGET 29 Forever Changed Forever Changed is a book centered around the major, traumatic events in the life of Alamedaborn Ritchie Scott which led him to sign up for military duty when he was nineteen. Ritchie’s daughter, Cheri Helstrom, tells the story through Ritchie’s eyes, using Ritchie’s words, taking the reader from rural Saskatchewan to the north, to eastern Canada (Toronto), across the Atlantic to Britain, to the battlefields of Italy during the Second World War, to an English military hospital and, finally, home to Canada. The resulting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) had far-reaching effects physically, emotionally, and socially. Forever Changed honours Ritchie’s life and times and celebrates his accomplishments. Cheri is a retired teacher who lives with her husband, Dave, on a farm near Gray, Saskatchewan. Cheri does speaking engagements in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and would be very happy to attend your Legion Branch, school, or library as a guest presenter.
