On September 18 a retirement
party was held for Roy Williamson
in the Brussels Legion. A large
crowd turned out to honour Roy,
who retired Sept. 1 after 21 years of

as road superintendent.
Roy was always very punctual.

County Council as Deputy Reeve
with Roy for two years. I used to
kid him that it was easier to be a
Williamson than an Armstrong
when they called for a recorded
vote as they started at the beginning
of the alphabet and by the time they
got to Williamson he could pretty

Leona presented Roy with a gold
wrist watch and Fred Uhler
presented him with a plaque.
Kathleen was presented with a
lovely bouquet of flowers.
