The Huron Expositor, 1988-02-17, Page 11THE HURON EXPOSITOR, FEBRUARY 17,1988 — 11 Maplewood celebrates 100th birthday Residents of Maplewood Manor had the great pleasure of celebrating a very special occasion this week. They were honored to congratulate Ned Boswell on his 100th birthday. Monday afternoon, Austin Matheson, Win- nona McDougall, Nettie Rose and Anne Crerar enjoyed a game of bridge. Tuesday afternoon a Senior euchre party was held with Grace Broadfoot in charge. Residents taking part listened carefully for the sound of a bell, which meant losers had to move on. Some of the players moved more often than others. A delicious lunch of tea biscuits, muffins and jam was served after the card game. The afternoon was a great success and residents are looking for- ward to another visit from the senior group. Wednesday morning the lounge at Maplewood was decorated with streamers and balloons for the great celebration of Ned Boswell's 100th birthday. Everyone gathered early for a breakfast birthday par- ty as to fit into his busy schedule for the day. On behalf of residents and staff, Fran Hook presented Ned with a gift, and of course, a birthday cake. After blowing out all of the candles, Ned thanked everyone and gave a very in- teresting speech telling of all the changes he has witnessed in 100 years. Later that morn- ing, residents and staff of Maplewood were peering from windows and standing outside to watch and cheer Ned on as he made a special trip by in his horse-drawn carriage. Residents and staff were honored to be a part of this celebration and will certainly be remembered by all. Again, happy birthday to Ned Boswell.
