) 8 The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillc. September 9. 1987 Section Two AROUND calcs THE TOWN ifflii THE PRIME MINISTER COULDN'T MAKE IT TO THE WEDDING -- However, Brian Mul- roncy did send a letter expressing his best wishes to a local couple, Heidi (nee deVries) and Gary Vandermeulen, who were married Saturday August 29, at the Rehoboth Christian Retormcd Church.
