On behalf of her fami- ly, Hiep Nguyen remi- nisced saying that: "It was warm and sunny, summer had just begun. And so had the lives of five Vietnamese immi- grants who arrived in Canada in June 1980." Perilous escape Hiep spoke of their perilous escape from Vietnam in a small boat, and at first the over- whelming welcome from the Varna Goshen Pastoral Charge and the community. Over the past 25 years the family have adjusted and done well. Hiep continued to teach, her husband Tai became a certified machinist and they live in Toronto. Their two sons Thuy and Dung, graduated from Universities in Toronto and are both married. Thuy and his wife Nicole and children Jordan and Matthew live in Philadelphia. Dung and his wife, Aileen and daughter Danielle also live in Toronto. Rev. Wilena Brown, who was the organizing force to the family's sponsorship, was unable to be at the service because of health prob- lems, but sent her best wishes along with Mary and Bill Chessell for- merly of Varna. Members of the com- mittee who worked with Rev. Brown, Gordon and Ruby Hill, Geraldine Eckel and Joyce Dowson took part in the service. Other committee Six members of the Nguyen family were wel- comed in Varna recently. Left to right: Hiep,Tai Nguyen, Geraldine Eckel, Ralph and Eleanor Smith, Thuy and Dung Nguyen. (photo/submitted) members, Ivan McClymont and Anson McKinley were also in attendance. Much to Hiep's sur- prise her former princi- pal, Ralph Smith from when she taught at Goderich was also at the service. Later, another teach- ing colleague John Siertsema and his wife Kathleen and former neighbours Wayne and Shirley Taylor joined everyone for a picnic potluck lunch at the Complex. With heartfelt love With heartfelt love and gratitude the Nguyen family present- ed everyone with bright blue thank you ribbons, a commemorative plaque, a beautiful scrapbook of stories and pictures for both churches and a renewed promise to continue to stay in touch with their "very own Canadian family at Varna - Goshen."

With the garage situated at the back of the property, all eyes are home itself. As a bonus, the garage becomes a drive-through, allowing access to the backyard for storing a recreational vehicle or a boat. An old-fashioned covered veranda completely surrounds the front and part of both sides of the home, giving the exterior a farmhouse look. A winding path from the driveway leads to the front door which opens to a traditional foyer and formal parlor. A two-way fireplace in the parlor is shared by the dining room which also has access to the veranda. A staircase in the front hall leads to the bedrooms on the second floor and to an unfinished basement below. A guest bedroom or study is situated behind the staircase, and also has a door to the veranda. Just across the hall is the main floor powder room. A country kitchen and great room faces the back yard. From the breakfast nook, a door opens to a covered deck with steps to the garden beyond. An angled work island in the kitchen can also be used as an eating bar. A traditional fireplace in the great room adds warmth and cheer throughout this open area. A sliding door off the kitchen reveals the laundry room with a large pantry and a coat closet. One door from the laundry leads the home's covered side entrance. Another opens into the garage. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a four -piece ensuite with a pocket door to the toilet and a large linen closet. The two children's bedrooms share a third bathroom. This home measures 64 feet wide by 62 feet, 6 inches deep and has a total of 2,234 square feet of finished living space.
