Local models joined Dr. John Girvan of the University Hospital Epilepsy Unit and Judge John McGarry of London in showing off the fine fashions of fall and winter to an enthusiastic audience at the Mill. Dr. John Girvin, chairman of the Depart- ment of Clinical Neurological Science and co-director of the University Hospital Epilepsy Unit, was in Benmiller over the weekend. He wasn't performing surgery or lecturing as'you might expect, rather, he was modelling clothes. Dr. Girvin was just one of many notable personalities who took part in the Third An- nual Fashion Show for Epilepsy sponsored by the Huron/Bruce/Perth Epilepsy Chapter and held at the Benmiller Inn. The purpose of the fashion show is two -fold, says Marj Vere, co-ordinator of the local chapter. "The annual show is a great way to create public awarness for epilepsy," said Mrs. Vere, "and it acts as a good way to raise much needed funding for continuing research." In addition to Dr. Girvin, fine fashions were expertly modelled by Judge John McGarry of London, Clinton's firechief Fred Lobb, and Goderich physician Dr. Derek Pearce among others. Two other models of note included Kathy Bromley of Blyth and Rob Baker of Henrall. Both Kathy and Rob have undergone surgery, performed by Dr. Girvin, to correct their epilepsy disorders. This month, Kathy will celebrate six months without a seizure while Rob has been seizure free for almost three years. Aside from viewing the latest in fall and winter fashions provided by local mer- chants, fashion show goers had an oppor- tunity to gain a greater understanding about the chronic disorder of the central nervous system which effects so many people. "We have two mottos here," said Mrs. • Vere, "It's not what you think, and I'm the same as everyone else. Public awarness is very important in our work." November is National Epilepsy Month across Canada and the Annual Fashion Show for Epilepsy was an excellent way to kick off the campaign. Attendance for the show was very good and everyone, including the nervous models, certainly had a good time while gaining a greater understanding <flntt epilepsy. (Rob Bundy photos) By Mrs. L.
