PN A CAG Sa AL PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Sept. 6, 1972 -- 17, Relatives honour Mrs. John H. Hardy on 80th Birthday @= Mrs. John H. Hardy (nee Main Honey) was guest of honour last 'Saturday at a gala affair arranged by her family in observance of her birthday. It took the form of a noonday luncheon at. the Port Perry United Church Hall, the guest list included ninety-two relatives from various parts of the pro- vince. The gathering was wel- comed by. Mrs. Hardy's eldest son Dr. Morley Hardy of Toronto who also ex- pressed greetings of the family to their mother Maim. At this point the birthday cake was brought in while all joined in singing "Happy Birthday". Dr. Har- dy also expressed the ap- preciation of all present to Mrs. McDermott the social convenor and her assistants: for the excellent luncheon so expertly served. Arrange- ments had been made for the small children to be taken care of so that their parents could more fully enjoy visit- ing with the relatives during the social hour that followed. Dr. Lee Honey of Fenwich recalled many amusing in- cidents that took place on the farm when the guest of honour was a small child. Dr. Morley Honey of Thorn- hill added to these ob- servations as did Mr. Harold Honey of Honeydale whose subtle humour was enjoyed by all. The greetings of the grandchildren were ex- pressed by Jim Hardy of Toronto while the good wishes of the nieces and nephews were presented by Robert McBain of Sault St. Marie. In arranging the pro- gramme, Mrs. Hardy's fam- ily had in mind as a theme their mother's childhood and early years to maturity. Being the only girl in a family of five boys and being reared in a rather strict Methodist tradition, Maim, as she has always been, called, although she was ' christened Mary-Irene stud- . ied music and so played first the organ and later the paino at the family sing songs throughout those years. On week nights popular airs were sung, frequently ending with a hymn. On Sundays only hymns were the rule. And so throughout the pro- gramme a few verses of the -- old familiar hymns were interspersed. The Hardy- . family, consisting of Dr. Morley Hardy, Mrs. V.V., Franks (Wynnifred),, Col. John Hardy, Mrs. Don Wal- lace (Janet) and Edgar Hardy all have good voices and delighted their relatives with several numbers and as a finale did their own version of the popular Musical number "Maim" - this was indeed the highlight of their renditions. Representatives of the Hardy and Honey families were present from Montreal, Ottawa, Peterborough, Port Perry, Lindsay, Blackstock Sault Ste. Marie, Toronto, London, Mitchell, Willow- dale, Thornhill, Grimsby and Mississauga. All present were delighted that Mrs. George Hardy Sr. (Aunt Millie) was in attendance from Lindsay. Dr. Ralph .
