T -A photo Stewart clan celebrates with 57th reunion By ALICE DICKENS Ailsa Craig The 57th gathering of the Stewarts took place at the park at Poplar Hill, Saturday. Irish president, Bill McHugh took responsibility for the weather which, by the way, was the coldest July 7 in the last 52 years. However, this didn't dampen the spirits of the Scots as we had the enclosed pavilion for our whopping smorgasbord of delicacies, and were able to relax to good Scottish music. People came from Alberta, U.S. and many Ontario places. After the dinner, a fun time was had as special prizes were given out. We were pleased to give the beautifully -embroidered tar- tan cloth, done by Marion Stewart, London, to the cou- ple who came from the fur- thest distance, Gordon and Myrtle Caton, of Red Deer, Alberta. They had left home in May and went to the east coast and Newfoundland, then back by Quebec to see the tall ships, and ended up in Grand Bend, from which point they visited relatives in the area. Ralph Jackson, who recently celebrated his 90th birthday, and has laid claim on the prize for the c''lest person present, relinquisaed his title very gentlemanly to Marion McIntosh this year.. A lovely homemade doll made by Marion again, was given to Crystal Marie Burney, the youngest person present, and the six-month old secretary. Elise Baird was lucky as she had a birthday on our pic- nic day. Twelve other special 1984 silver dollars in a small tartan hag with a string in it, were given to the babies born in 1984. Everyone present received a bicentennial sticker, and a button to wear. Some of the fun prizes went to Ruth Hill for having a tape measure in her purse, to 'Stewart Harrison for his corn- puter, to Lyn Harrison for her aspirins. etc. Each received a silver dollar, or a trillium pin. By 3 p.m. the sun was shin- ing and a rigorous sports' ro- gram took place, enginee, ed by Heather and Geoff Ren- nison. Winners in the children's section were Court- ney and Kevin Dickens, Melissa and Mark Rennison, Jennifer Sadler. Adult win- ners were Gladys Dickens, Alan Hill, Evelyn McNaughton, Bruce Lawson, Stewart and Lyle Harrison, and Lyn and Mike Harrison. The best guessers were Barbara McMillan. Blenheim. who knew the watermelon must wiegh 13 pounds. and Mike Harrison who is willing to share his jel- ly beans with the U.S. president.
