the vagaries of the weather in this
part of Ontario. What a difference a
week can make.
On Saturday, Feb. 21, we made a
journey to Exeter in what were very
nasty conditions making me think
my husband should have been
heeding my advice of a few weeks
past and waited for a better day.
A follow-up trip to London on the
next Saturday, Feb. 28, couldn't
have been more different. Sunny
conditions had motorcyclists out
making us anticipate the convertible
season. Spring can't be far away for
we spotted a young boy in shorts.
Back home from my kitchen
window we noticed many
snowmobilers enjoying the trails
which extend east of the village.
Made me wonder if we shouldn't be
getting those old machines out of the
shed for a run.
The change of seasons hasn't got
me putting my winter coat to the
back of the closest yet as I anticipate
there will be many more such flip-
flop conditions before we see the
last of this winter's snow and we all
have our shorts out. Remember,
March has come like a lamb.
However, the promise is there.
Now I ask you. villagers, how
The women of the Cheerio Club
met for a noon meal at the G.T.
Corner Café on Feb. 18. Following a
delicious rib and chicken dinner
they were welcomed to the home of
Edythe Beacom for business and
fellowship.
Dorothy Johnston began the
meeting with a reading from the
book A Mother's Love. The group
welcomed a new member, Josephine
MacGregor and guest, Angela
Beacom. Roll call was answered
with humorous readings and Happy
Birthday was sung to Dorothy
Johnston.
Edythe Beacom won the gift of
the month given by Reta Kelland.

proud/pleased did you feel when you
heard the news last week about the
latest inductees into the Canadian
Baseball Hall of Fame? The reaction
at our home was, "Wow!"
Missed the announcement? One of
the four persons to be so honoured
this year is N.E. (Peter) Hardy — one
of our own, so to speak. For those of
you new to the village, Peter and his
wife, Dorothy, lived on the river
property south of Londesborough
for a number of years in the 1980s
and 1990s.
The Hardys
originate from
London, where
Dorothy still has
a home. Through
his management
positions with
Labatt's he was
influential in
bringing the Blue
PETER HARDY Jays franchise to
Posthumous Toronto. He
honour served as the first
chief executive
officer for the Jays from 1982 to
1990.
Peter retired in 1990, but
maintained his influence and interest
in the organization as an honourary
chairman of the board. Dorothy
noted that Peter was devoted to the
franchise until his death in 1997.
Those of us who knew Peter will
remember him as a quiet,
unassuming man who would have
been pleased by the honour but
would have downplayed his
contribution. He certainly is
deserving of this recognition.
The Canadian Baseball Hall of
Fame is located in St. Marys,
Ontario.
The ladies completed their afternoon
together playing cards.
They will meet again on March
17.
