Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, July 23.2003 - 3 Places I've Done Time by Clifford Francis There is little or nothing for me to write about this week. Ross Morris says it hurts too much to think, and I agree. It's been like that all my life. Even when I went to school it hurt. That's one of the reasons I went very little, or at all. Thankfully, my son Joshua Shephard has no problem with his schooling. He just graduated graduated from high school and is an Ontario Scholar. He will be attending Brock University where he received a scholarship. scholarship. Way to go Josh, we are ever-so-proud of you! The editor and writers of the Orono Weekly Times are taking a couple weeks holidays holidays and will scatter across Canada and the USA. Everyone will be back in a couple of weeks with renewed vigor and ideas. Being the lowest paid writer, next to the editor, I am staying in Orono. I would have liked to have gone to Nakina but I'm not sure if the snow is gone up there yet. I will however, be spending a lot of time on the benches in town. I think I would have made a good judge--they spend a lot of time there. A while back I wrote about some fellows in the area finding finding girls and getting married. Well, it started last Saturday. My Uncle Charlie Campbell of the Orono Garden Center started the ball rolling. He was married last Saturday and now I have a brand new Aunt Esther. It was a wonderful wedding and Aunt Esther looked so beautiful. beautiful. I had a grand time and I think if I had of consumed four of five bottles of wine, it would have been even better. Who's next to many I wonder? wonder? Roy Forrester has nothing on me when it comes to bird watching. While working in Newcastle last week, we saw a white headed robin. We are not sure if it was paint on its head or if he was aging gracefully. gracefully. He was seen again this week on the waterfront by some local residents who vehemently doubted my sighted sighted last week.
