Blyth couple celebrates 40th arourta Blyth , 523-4792 k ■ > 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.

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.
