A Note from Betty
It was party time last Friday at Seaforth Hospital, time to stop to say
thanks to Yvonne Kitchen RN for over a quarter century of nursing
leadership. Yvonne came to Huron county with the gifts this area needed to
get us smoothly into modern medicine. Sjte was part of a team that
pioneered the concept of city experience in a country setting and at a time
before it was the IN thing. This ultimately kept our small hospitals
consistently safe places to go.
Thanks for all your hard work. Have a great retirement Yvonne.
Remembrance Day services were well attended in our area, the time to
acknowledge the gifts we were given. Sharing their talents of music were
Joshua Gropp who played The Last Post at F.E. Madill’s service and Mary
Ann and Murray Bone and Phil Graber who did the pipes and drum in
Seaforth for their Legion services.
Raising kids is the toughest most rewarding job adults will ever do and for
this most of us had no training and no license to operate. So it makes me
happy to tell you about training for parents at no cost at our public school
starting on Tuesday evening. Call the school at 887-9361 for information
and plan to attend. It’s a chance to talk about families, growth, anger and the
joys of children, and yes those do all happen in one day but in the course
you get to talk about them one at a time.
Folks are talking about Christmas like it was just around the corner. Well I
guess six weeks does make a significant comer, so I better get going and
catch up with the world.
Bye now,
Betty G.

arrived on Friday evening at
approximately 8 p.m., met me here
at school and we unpacked all the
treats they had brought me. Then
they signed me out for a weekend
leave.
My friends here love to hear
Canadian people talk because they
think we talk funny. They also
think we live in igloos.
We went to dinner and stayed at
the Super 8 motel in Plymouth,
Indiana.
Saturday morning we did some
shopping and then we went to
Culver Academies for lunch at the
dining hall. I felt they had to eat
here to have a complete “Culver
experience”. They had brought
with them some warm, sunny
weather, so I toured them around
the campus for the afternoon and
showed them through most of the
buildings and we walked along
Lake Maxinkuckee with no jackets
on.
1 had to be at the rink at 4 p.m.
for a 5 p.m. hockey game. Never
say arena, because that means the
horse bam here. I was so nervous
because this was my first game.
Since I wrote to you last time I
have been on the injury list because
of my foot. It has finally healed up
and I received permission from the
trainer to start back at hockey. I
have been back practising for two
weeks now, everyday.
The JV (Junior Varsity) team has
not been doing so well but we
managed a 1-1 tie on Saturday.
This was a big event for me
because I actually had some fans in
the stands. After hockey we went
to dinner at Ponderosa and
shopping until 11 p.m. We were all
exhausted because of lack of sleep
from the night before.
One bathroom for five women,
didn't work so well. Sorry we
didn’t get that card game going,
Crystal. The moon was sure bright
from the window, wasn’t it Nicole?
Sunday morning, they drove me
back to Culver because I had a
team brunch to attend and a hockey
game at noon. We lost 2-0, I took
40 shots which included four
breakaways.
HELP
WANTED
Part-time Bartender required,
2 Saturdays per month. Drop
off resume at Brussels Legion
before November 26.
After the game there was a sports
banquet to attend. I had the honour
of receiving a plaque for Most
Improved during my volleyball
season.
Life is treating me very well
here, they keep us very busy.
Over the American Thanksgiving
week I will be travelling with the
Varsity team to a tournament in
Madison, Wisconsin and one in
Minnesota. Dec. 15, the team flies
to Boston, Massachusetts for a
tournament and from there, I will
be home for the holidays. Can’t
wait.
I hope everything is going well in
Brussels! I was glad to hear that
everyone arrived home safely and
hope you had as wonderful a
weekend as I did.
Yours Truly,
Brook.
