During the next few years, thousands of people visited Cal- lendar to view the quints and to spend time at Canada's famous tourist attraction. The Nodwells had emigrated from Scotland to Callendar where they cleared bush, built their home and raised their family. Bob Nodwell (known in the area as "Young Bob"to dif- ferentiate him from his father) had worked on the building of the Trans Canada Highway and had worked in the mines of Northern Ontario. During his time, Jean Sel- lery, who spent part of her youth in Port Perry, was now living and working in Toronto. She travelled with her step- parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. Sleep of Seagrave, to Callendar to see the quints. Through a mutual friend, Bob Nodwell and Jean Sellery were introduced. They married July 16, 1942 while Bob was in "boot camp" and shortly afterward he was posted overseas. Because of the war, the first wedding anniver- sary they spent together was their fifth! While Bob was overseas, Jean bought a 60 acre farm in Seagrave. Those who know the area, know that the Nodwells spent the first few years work- ing on the farmhouse and mak- ing it into a home where all were welcome. Daughters Rosemary and Elizabeth were born and raised in Seagrave. Rosemary, a social worker in Hamilton married Bill Helbert and have raised three children: David, Steven and Denise. Elizabeth is a con- stituency assistant in Hamil- ton. Her son Bilbo is currently working in Minneapolis. Bob and Jean lived in Sea- grave from 1946 to 1988 when they sold the farm and moved to their new home in Port Perry. On July 12, 1992 they were surprised by a lovely garden party given by their daughters and close friends. Over 100 well wishers attended. The event was held at the home of Lee and Carol Sturman, right across the road from where the happy couple lived in Seagrave. Happy 50th Bob and Jean. You really are a special couple!

Festival Days great From Page 1 Another event which drew a large crowd of both people and animals was the Mutt show. Chamber of Commerce Presi- dent Ken Carruthers said there were no major problems, and overall, organizers were pleased with the weekend. "It was an outstanding suc- cess. There's usually a few peo- ple who weren't pleased 'with something, but I honestly haven't heard any complaints," he said. Although the weekend's total receipts have not yet been cal- culated, it is expected that the Chamber of Commerce will break even, if not make a profit, from the event. Mr. Carruthers said the suc- cess was partly thanks to the Ontario Lotto Corporation which provided use of the stage in the festival tent free of charge He said an application will be submitted to the corporation to have the stage donated again next year. Although Mr. Carruthers was pleased with the overall success of the weekend, he will suggest changes to next year's format at the next meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Carruthers told the Port Perry Star he will suggest other organizations get involved in the planning of the events be- sides the Chamber of Com- merce. He suggested the down- town merchants should play more of a role in the planning, TIRED OF LONG DISTANCE CHARGES!
