An old dimer of the Walton
community, Harvey Craig,
died last week in his room at
Huronlea. The funeral was
held Friday where family and
friends came to pay their last
respects. A special duet was
sung by Harvey's son
Graeme and daughter
Sherrill. The luncheon was
held at Duff's United
Church.
For Ian and Elva Wilbee on
Sunday it was like going
back through the years, 50
years to be exact as family
and friends came and helped
them celebrate their special
anniversary. Friends from
Cranbrook brought some
very famous people with
them for the event. Stomping

Parton, even Elvis put in an
appearance and Willie
Nelson performed for the
couple. During the singing of
"Put on Your Old Grey
Bonnet" a grey bonnet was
placed on Elva's head and
Ian sported a top hat and the
happy couple was placed in a
fringed top surrey where they
rode off in style. Neil
McGavin was the emcee for
part of the evening and
friends and family all took
turns helping Ian and Elva
reminisce. Then came the
music. It was like, being
beamed back to the era of the
Big Band. Keith Wilbee
played his sax, Elva got on
the piano and worked her
magic and Ian sat at the
drums setting the rhythm.
Then people that played in
the band with them all those
years filled in with trumpet
and saxes and the results
were incredible. It was such a
prestigious event teat the
Prime Minister picked out
four of thc best Royal
Canadian Mounted Police to
come to the Wilbee farm to
do their musical ride. 1 use
the word "ride" rather
loosely here. People were
laughing so hard 1 was sure
some would fall off their
chairs. It was a magical night
put together by loving family
and friends and a night 1 am
sure that Ian and Elva will
never forget. Congratulations
folks. 1 am back from the
wild west - Vanderhoof, ij.C.
It was nice to be back in bear
and moose country. I did see
one bear and saw moose
tracks. As usual the bear
stories were aplenty. Their
weather was similar to ours
but not quite as dry as ours
has been.
' UCW will meet next
Tuesday Sept. 8 at 8 p.m. in
the church. Roll call will be
gathering ideas for ways to
replace the copper contest.
Everyone is welcome to
attend.
