First of all, you'll remember my hus- band's brother-in-law, Wilfrid Bennett who called in your Dungannon last year on my behalf, meeting quite a lot of people I met when I was there, including your correspon- dent, Marie Park. An Englishman himself, also a Cambridge graduate, he has two sons who have both made their homes in your country, one an electronics engineer living in Kincardine, the other lecturing and researching at Mill University in Mon- treal: Wilf came to stay with us for a week and was wined and dined by everyone so he really had to go home for a rest. Until his retirement, he was.Chernistry Master at the Royal School where my son, .my brothers and before them my cousins and uncles were pupils. It's a very famous school, founded in .1614. This year, it . is to amalgamate with Dungannon High School for. Girls, so there's an end to a long tradi- tion. 'Everything radi-tion.'Everything is unisex in our modern. world. Wilf asked specially tobe remembered to you all when I had time to write again. He enjoyed the littlepiece you wrote about his visit to Dungannon, Ontario. He has a third son who lives near him in Henley on Thames. When he haddeparted, we welcomed my cousin and her, husband from Vancouver: Because her mother died when she was seven, she came to live with 'us in Saskat- chewan until the terrible drought .of the Hungry Thirties drove us out, then; later followed, us to N. Ireland and went to school with, us here. With war looming, we thought we'd probably all be killed so we sent her back to British Columbia where, on the death of her father, she immediately joined the Canadian Air Force, put my mother, 'down as next of kin and had herself posted to London where she and I served 'together. Back in Canada after, the Armistice, she. married, raised a family and became a, nurse. Last year, after eight years on her own, she remarried, this time a retired male nurse, originally from Yorkshire and with the accent still though he has been in Canada since 1946.' He joined the British Ar- my as a male nurse and Served • all over the world before return ngto Civie St. after the war. Make a note oflthe name because later on they hope to visit your Dungannon and. district. They are Nancy and Victor Brier of 37 3421E, 49th Avenue, VANCOUVER .16. They're a very dear sweet couple. While they were staying with us, we had more callers, this time from where else but Lucknow! , They were' Marty and Lorna Askes, Lorna's father, Jim Boyle, and a friend, Karin Ediger, What a super 'visit that was but not long enough! They'd been to the South of Irelandlooking for their roots in a town called Boyle. We talked about you all over there and I showed them my scrap- book. They were quite shaken to find in it a photograph of Bonnie and Kerry Boyle. taken during their call with me in 1980: Sad- ly, I don't remember too much about that visit as I only arrived back from Canada the previous day and was still trying to get my breath back after those three very hectic weeks. You can imagine I'd not yet got myself ;orientated so I'm hoping some day they'll call again. I . I was very surprised to hear. that Kerry Sunday school The Lucknow United Church Sunday School .presented its school awards (Junin: . Church service Sept. 15. In or,er to receive perfect attendance' awards�tudents are allowed to' miss four 'Sundays.. Nursery awards were presented to Army Blake, Taylor Mali, Darryl Anehesoo, Jackie Pentland. Kindergarten and Grade 1 awards were presented: to Ryan Hackett, Stewart Hackett and Mark McDougall. Grade 2 and 3 awards were presented tr' Craig McNay and .Colin Becher. They • received their United:Chprch pins. Grade 4 awards were presented to Adrian Helm, Eric McDougall, Jennifer Porter and 'Peter McNay received the United Church pin. . The Grade 5 and 6 award was presented. to Darryl Graham. • . The Grade 7 and 8 award was presented ,and Bonnie are Lorna's cousins, daughters of Jim Boyle'sbrother. When I was staying with Mrs. Oliver McCharles outside Lucknow, we had a cneaI with this Boyle family, such a lovely meal, 1' remember it yet with pleasure, also the: kindness of everyone and -the welcome they gave me. I hear Mrs. Boyle does Bed -and -Breakfast now, the sort of thing that's very popular:/ here. I hope she has great success with it and lots and lots of visitors. We had a very happy time, talking about your country and this country and people I inet out there, especially Mrs.' Phyllis Mor- rison, who as you know, is a direct descen- dant of the Malloughs who founded your Dungannon. She was very kind to me and I was greatly honoured to be a guest at her son's wedding. Someone else we spoke of was George Anderson. Jim. Boy says you should have your wallet ready because you owe him five dollars. Remember you bet him that no matter who he met in Ireland, he wouldn't meet Mollie, Whiteside? They took masses of photographs to prove that they were here in our home and our Dungan- non. / Lorna's husband is in Glasgow University on an exchange course 'studying Con- struction Engineering with special reference to Quantity Surveying. A very nice young man with a beautiful wife: We found Lorna and Karin both lovely yowig women. Nancy and Victor Brier enjoyed the visit, as much .as we didand there was a whole lot of swapping of addresses. They mean to visit your part of the world and you're to go out to Vancouver any time but particularly next year for Expo'86. It'll be a terrific occasion, they say. We were able to fix the Boyle clan up with jped and breakfast in Dungannon with a nice man .. called Murphy. Could anything be more Irish than that? Also, when their car sprang a leak, we were able to find a garage man to fix it even though it was, Sunday. Over here on Sunday, everything but everything shuts down but people are so friendly, they'll never see you stuck. To be honest, everyone's so helpful here and seems so gentle that even after all these years, I still can't understand where all the trouble comes from. While my cousin was here, terrorists killed someone almost every single day. What I'm hoping, though; is that visitors to this country. will be able to go home arid give a true picture of us all. Ter- roristsapart, the crime rate here is very low and with the pace of life so much slower, you get a lovely impression of peace. Now, visitors all gone, I'rn trying to catch up on gardening, Legion work, all my own home chores and plan for a small break myself. We've several Legion parades coin- ing up to commemorate V.J. Day, then I'm off to London.. What, again? Yes; London is my relaxation. I whizz over any time I can to see myon and friends who become more precious With the passing years..You'll be glad to hear. -that Shaun, who arrived in Athens on the day of that dreadfulhijack,, managed to get back safely after a most marvellous holiday. He is still reporting for a firm of Anglo American publishers and do- ing translations for another well-known companyso he hardly has time to raise his head. I like to see for myself that he'swell and happy. This time in London, I hope to contact Mary, Alton's relatives, Ivy and Bob Errington. More about that when, I write again.
