Not armed robbery Last Friday morning July 24, 1987 two white utility motor vans came to the relief of the staff of the Ripley Royal Bank in Ripley. No it was not another armed robbery like the one they had on that Friday, March 20, 1985. Both vans belonged to Black and McDonald - one operated by the regular maintenance man in this area Don Affleck of Kinloss Corners at Silver Lake and the se- cond one by Jack Coutu of London bringing extras. That electrical storm early Sunday even- ing July 19 which caused damage in the Dungannon area with its winds and severe lightning must have sent some stray voltage towards. Ripley burning out the air condi- tioner onditioner unit on the roof of the bank. By Tues- day and Wednesday of the week with the moisture in the air (humidity) and heat building up, conditions were almost unbearable at times. Students attend play school Last Tuesday in that hot and humid weather the leaders of the Ripley Playground School brought their kids from the Ripley Huron Central School at the west end of Ripley up to the Gazebo in Gore Park. And when they were seated in there for noon lunch we went across the road here to visit them. • The leaders Jodie Godfrey, Tanya Hawrylyshyn, and Terry Paquette were friendly and co-operative and with their help we have the names of those at the school - 100 percent attendance. Each girl or boy saw that their name was put down correctly. In order they were Den- nis Dewar, Jolene Dewar, Julie Wyld, Jenny MacDonald, Cameron Cale, Chris Cale, Amanda Cumming, Alexis Gallant, Brandy Lynn Davey, Bradley MacKay, Darrin Mac- Donald, Matt MacDonald, Jonathon Thomp- son, Jeremy Thompson, Andrea Moulton, Iain Abela, Derrick Moulton, Erin Gallant, Regan Carruthers - nineteen in total. Farrell reunion held On Sunday July 19 descendants of Herb and Ada Farrell held a picnic at Kay Fraser's cottage at beautiful Emmerton Beach just south of Concession 6 Huron township. There were 72 in attendance. Everyone enjoyed a visit with Kin Nother who was, home from Edmonton. The children all cooled off in Lake Huron in the afternoon. Hopefully this picnic will become an annual event. Thanks to Andrew MacDonald of Con 12 for delivering this item by bike this past Sunday afternoon. " On their way to England Last Sunday afternoon Alf and Dorothy Beal on their way home to Stratford from their summer cottage at Inverhuron drop- ped into Ripley for a visit with Ab Wylds: On Tuesday at 6 a.m. they got on a jet plane at Toronto airport and landed at Manchester, England. There they will visit with her sister Helen and husband Mr. and Mrs. Frank Morris at Shrewsbury, also with their two daughters Pat and Chris and son John Morris and all their"families near Shrewsbury. Daughter Pat is the one born in Goderich and spent some time Feb. March 1944 on Malcolm Street in Ripley under Fran and Dr. Carpeneto's care. Teaching on Bloor Street Ken MacLennan of Toronto was back home last Tuesday and Wednesday visiting with 13i11 and Helen McCreath. Yes he was really back home because it was in the house where he grew up - his parents being the late Mr. and Mrs,. Neil MacLennan. Ken is changing schools this year and he is quite excited about it. In September he heads the French department at Bloor Collegiate on Bloor Street West. When he was here last Tuesday afternoon I told him that it was in the first week in Oc- tober 1933 that I taught my first formal lesson in Bloor Collegiate - 54 years ago. Isn't that a while ago. Before going to Toronto Ken taught in Oxford -Waterloo. And in the mid -sixties he spent a summer in St. Pierre on the islands of St. Pierre et Miquelon and we always have a chat about that. Teachers passed away Two retired lady teachers passed away this past weekend (Sat. July 25) . Both, were acquainted with Ripley Continuation School or with the Ripley District High School - call it whichever you prefer. They were Katherine Murray as a scholar back around. 1920 and Margaret MacKenzie as a principal and teacher from 1947 to 1956. Anything con- nected with this school, just a few steps across the back yard here means a lot to Ab Wylds so a few lines on both this Monday - the day of their funerals - one in Ripley and the other in Kincardine.
