He is a fifth -generation Huron Baird, directly related to the electri- cal engineer John L.

Jerry's sister is Dianne Cook, who also lives near Brucefield. �II►I�IIIMi�lA�M11p11p1 Skating club's carnival Sunday 'Recreation Preview by Marty Bedard The Seaforth Figure Skating Club invites every- one to their carnival this Sunday, starting at 2 p.m. This year's theme is "For the Love of Skating."
