"There has never been any sense that this whippersnapper should be put in his place. They are a great bunch of people.. They all 2002 Executive have so much experience and I get the feeling they'were happy to have someone new." Lowe would like to see more young people Members a `great bunch' says Lowe From left: George Underwood, Paul Josling, Marian Hallahan, Edgar Daer, Todd Andrews, Stephen Tiffin. interested in the Association. "The Threshers seem to be having less new members and the older ones aren't able to do as much as they once could. I was glad to step in because they need young people to carry this on." The commitment is minimal. Lowe feels, as far as volunteerism goes. "It's a few meetings a year and one week of big commitment. And the benefits are so much self-satisfaction and the chance to meet a lot of people from all over the province. The Reunion itself is a good time." Any idea that the Reunion might be a little corny for people of his age, is a notion Lowe finds no merit in. "You hear the name and you might think boring, but once you're in the gate there's So much to learn and see. You learn without even being willing to learn." "And there's lot of good food." he.adds.
