Ted and Ruth who operated the general store for many years, receiv- ed a microwave and cookbook, a f rass floor lamp and a plate with their 'picture embossed on it. They seemed very -pleased with their gifts and party. - Ted and Ruth were usually one of the first people to greet newcomers to the community and always made them feel so welcome. They have -. been a very caring ana tnougnttul couple who have made a special and dedicated effort to please people. A cheerful greeting and a pleasant smile was extended to everyone entering the store. Many years of long and hard hours and special orders to place never diminished their kindness nor their sense of humour. A P. closed" sign on the door rarely meant that the store was really clos- ed but the the Insley's were having dinner or just sitting a spell and would continue to fill orders over the phone and put little packages outside the door. . A very remarkable and dedicated couple who are truly going to be miss- ed for a long time.
