Don and Norma Frew, Nestleton, recently attended the summer re- union of their friends from Wood- brook Estates, Lakeland Florida. The get-together was held at the lovely farmstead of Ray and Becky Poole, Perth, Ontario. July was a busy month for Don and Norma with family reunions at Burford and Port Hope. A pleasant surprise was the vis- it of a distant cousin of Don's...Barbara Thomson of Ba- singstoke, Hampshire England. Barbara was visiting friends in Oshawa when she noticed that Nestleton wasn't too far away...so she rented a car and dropped by for a nice visit and compared informa- tion on the family tree of the Gib- bard clan from Oxfordshire!
