Last week Mr. and Mrs. Bill
Patterson returned home from
their first trip to Florida. They
avoided driving the main route and
took a different route down and
back, seeing different parts of the
States. While in Florida they
visited Epeot Centre at Disney
World and Busch Gardens. They
spent two days on the Florida keys,
travelling to Key west and spend
ing the night at Sunshine Key.
They also spent three days at Mrs.
Patterson’s uncle’s home in Lake
land. While there, Bill had the
pleasure of watching the profes
sional ball players workout in
preparation for the next day’s
game, the start of the ball season.
On the return trip they stayed
overnight in Nashville and attend
ed the Grand Ole Opry Show,
returning home just after the storm
and before the tornado that passed
through Kentucky. So the only
problem was a blocked driveway
which was soon taken care of
thanks to a snowblower.
Congratulations to Terry Pierce
on his birthday on March 22.

Surprise visitor
for Blyth
woman
Mrs. Marie Button of Blyth
received a delightful surprise at
12:30 a.m. last Monday. Her son
Dave heard a knock at the door.
Wondering who it could be, at that
hour, he got out ot bed to open the
door. Before him stood a small
child, whom he did not know,
asking to come in. At the same
moment, a man appeared from
around the corner of the house,
steps away, whom he recognized at
once, his brother Roy from Van
couver.
Roy, Marie’s eldest son, getting
aweekofffromwork, decidedto
come to visit his mother whom he
had not seen in three years.
Leaving his wife, who is a nurse at
home and older daughter in school,
he and five year old daughter Anita
travelled by plane to Toronto and
from there by rented car to Blyth.
Needless to say Marie Button is a
joyous mother and grandmother
these days as are Roy’s brothers
and their families.
