This was a surprise celebration put on by their family. Dinner and dan- cing was enjoyed by their family and friends. During the March break, most people were heading south to escape old man winter, but we have a few neighbours who have just arrived home from their vacation. Lorne and Eileen Slute thoroughly enjoyed their bus tour of Florida. Gord and Grace Kirk are back home from their vacation to Florida. Murray and Marie Geer en- joyed a bus tour to California which gave them an opportunity to stop in many interesting places.
