The hall was filled to capacity during the evening to listen to appropriate music supplied by D.J. Warren Sutcliffe assisted later in the evening by Gary Bristow on his steel guitar. In midevening midevening Clare Robinson as M.C. invited his parents to seats of honour on the platform platform where they were subjected subjected to not one, but two humorous poetic addresses. The first was composed and read by Ralph Malcolm (a brother-in-law), the second by Clare Robinson. These dealt with the more insidious parts of Ernie and Ray's past 40 years revealing the occasional juicy tidbit for public consumption. consumption. Ernie and Ray each replied expressing their appreciation to their families for arranging the festive evening and to all and sundry for their "presents" and "presence." All in all it was a very enjoyable evening particularly particularly for those who like to trip the light fantastic. Earlier in the afternoon the immediate family had congregated at Ray and Ernie's residence for a family dinner and presented them with a gas barbecue for a gift. Guests were present from Toronto, Peterborough, Ida, Plattsville, Lindsay, including son Darryl and his wife from Ottawa area and most local communities. The Robinson family have been an integral part of our Yelverton community life for the past many years. The best wishes of the community are extended to them for many more happy years. Mr. and Mrs. John Hofstetter were weekend guests of Laurie and Clare Robinson and family. This week is was our dubious pleasure to be called upon to make a mandatory contribution to the Health and Welfare of the Durham Regional Police. The long arm of the law accosted us, not half way to Toronto, but a mere 3 - 4 miles from home while passing through "Sleepy Hollow" sometimes referred to as Cadmus. Apparently according to the genial gentleman gentleman who transferred our personal invitation to contribute contribute to the cause, the local residents had complained to the Boys in Blue about speeding speeding through their fair if somnolent hamlet, requesting a "radar trap" to enforce their continued tranquility. We possibly aggravated our position by stepping up the horses so as not to meet a school bus in the "narrows" of Cadmus Bridge. Shucks! It isn't even considered a "charitable" donation for income tax purposes! Congratulations are extended extended to Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Ellis (nee Valerie Frew) who were married on Saturday, June 27th, with the reception later at Manvers Arena.
