He and his wife Margaret, of McKillop, have decided to "spoil the grandchildren and ourselves a lot less" so that, together, his extended family can send $1,000 to create a garden to feed hungry kids in a country ravaged by war and natural disasters. "I raised the idea of $1,000 to (his daughter and partner lay minister) Melissa (Snyders) and she said, `That's easy' and they all threw in $150. They jumped right on it," he says. The retired teacher and lay minister for the United Church is also travelling throughout the Huron -Perth Presbytery speaking about his trip as he prepares to lead a group back to Mozambique next August. His Christmas letter to friends and family also asks for donations towards seeds, farm implements and gardens in Mozambique through London Conference of the United Church. "The churches over there most of all want help to feed their orphans See WHITMORES, Page 2 Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and looking forward to "seeing" you in the New Year!
