However, our best wishes go with this letter that the celebration will be very suc- cessful, both socially and financ- ially." $ $ Miss Elizabeth N. McGregor, of 9615 Wells Parkway,. Norfolk 3, Va., says that she is sorry but she and her sister will be unable to attend the reunion. Miss McGreg- or recalls pleasent occassions in Seaforth and says, "Although "I lived in McKillop township, I at- tended the Seaforth school during a short term, while I lived with my uncle, Robert Scott, who was may- or of "the town at that time, (pro- bably about the late seventies and early eighties). I have man pleasant memories of those months as my uncle and aunt were very gracious and kind to me. "My sister, Mrs. George Wallace and --I• are the only living members of the Archibald McGregor family, of our generation. "There is an adopted daughter of rhy uncle, Alexander McGregor, she is Mrs. Ferguson, and the last address I have is Ayr, Ont. We were very fond of her. "I have two nephews in Findlay, Ohio, (not far from Seaforth), they. are sons of my brother,' Robert. Scott McGregor, who died five wears ago. , "There are, no doubt, many others of that gener ation who have homes not too far from Seaforth, whom you probably have contacted "My last visit to Seaforth was in September; 1939, when -mit . sis- ter and I spent ,a couple 'of weeks with our aunt; Mrs. Joseph Hend- erson, and her daughter: We have many pleasant ,memories of our stay with them, and visits with ,many cousins at that time."

One of the features which is being planned for the Old Boys', here in July 30th to August 3rd, it was revealed at a' meeting of the executive Monday night, is a bus tour throughout the town. Ar- rapgements are in the hands of the traffic and parking committee, headed by chairman Scott.. Hab- kirk.

William A. Deem, of Medicine Lake, Montana, is another, who is looking forward fo ti possibility of attending the reunion here. Mr. Deem says, 'Although • I did not spend very much of my early life in Seaforth, I always remember those days with pleasant recollect- ions and as my father, Arthur Deem is buried in the Maitlandbank Cem- etery, that is another bond, tying your fine community in with my memories. I attended the 1900-01 term of school while staying with my grandmother,. Mrs. Jimmie Ander- son, and in summer of 1901 moved to North Dakota and made my home with my uncle, Charles Deem who was killed by being run over by a drunken auto driver on the streets of Fargo, North Dakota, at the age of 94. In 1915 I went to work for the Great Northern Telegrapher and since 1917 have been located at this station, but at present am. on sick leave since last of January and, my doctor has advised" me to re- tire, As I have several 'relatives of the < Deem family residing at Sarnia; 'Stratford; London and Kingston, it may be possible for me to arrange.a visit back there about the first of August; and will most certainly attend your reunion atle terth ' possible. _ From Brandon, Manitoba comes a letter from Mrs. Gertrude Baird, who says that "If at all possible, my husband, daughter and myself will be there."
