The Reunion Committee would
like to thank Emily Gibson at Stock-
yards
tockyards Westem Apparel in downtown
Ripley for being a welcoming host of
Reunion merchandise in her store
for the past two years. She provided
shelf space and allowed the commit-
tee to reach far more people with our
merchandise than we could have
otherwise. We must also thank Rip-
ley Variety, the Township of Huron -
Kinloss and Pollock Electric for sell-
ing our tickets and Beard Permits.

a special showing at the Lucknow
Public Library. Showtime starts at
6:30 pm on May 13.
"Theory of Everything" is the
award winning story of
renowned physicist Stephen Hawk-
ing. The movie tells of his early aca-
demic work, but also confronting
and dealing with his physically
debilitating condition. At its heart,
this is a story about the power of
love and how it changes our lives
and how it changes through our
lives. It is a powerful and well acted
movie. Here's the trailer https://
youtu.be/Salz7uGp72c.
Our next movie will be "Night at
the Museum 3" (Robin William's last
movie) on May 20. Then coming up
will be "Selma" (about the civil rights
movement and Martin Luther King
Jr) on June 3 with a special PD day
showing of "Paddington" (about
the irascible bear) on June 5 at 10 am.
Hope to see you at the movies
