Traveling to Windsor through
the tunnel they took to the air
again at 8 a.m. and arrived in
Toronto at 10 a.m.
The only disturbing part of
their trip was that they had
checked their luggage to Toron
to, forgetting it would need to
be inspected at Customs. It was
five days before their baggage
caught up with them.
Fourth Visit
This was Mr. Birk’s fourth
visit to Ontario since he left in
1889. He last returned in. 1934
when1 his brother Adam was kill
ed at the Exeter railroad crossing
on the lake road as he was driv
ing to his home near Dashwood.
Both Mr. Birk and Mrs. Four
nier enjoyed visiting the school
which he and her mother attend
ed at Dashwood.
A family reunion was held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ted
Rader on Sunday, July 4, when
Mrs. Fournier met her relatives
in this area for the first time.
Mr. Birk was named honorary
president of the executive which
was named to plan the next re
union.
He told us he has never been
sick in -liis life. He is tall and
carries himself very erect and
not many people would guess
that he passed his eiglity-fifth

and left us to guess at that part
