Thanks Dr. Corrin
"It's certainly. a unique community." - -
• That was one of the comments made about the community
spirit shown in honouring one of Lucknow's mostrespected
citizens; Dr. Mel Corrin. •
The event was positively first class from start to finish. A
•-•
• great dears( thanks is owed to the persons and service clubs
who gave of their .tirne to ensure a successful appreciation
night for Dr. Collin: It must have given each and,every one
of the Organizers a rush of pride to see all the people who
• turned up at the paradeand at the community centre to take
part in the festivities. , • • -;
• The work and organization that went into the eVent. was
• Pr.obahly great put the show of community spirit that the
event created was greater. Well done; '
• The entertainment for the evening Was absolutely great
although there wererumblings that the acoustics were not
' the best in the back rows. Of special note was Ross
• Errington's penchant for cabbage. How can one man eat so
much cabbage?!? .
It was a night. to pay tribute to Dr. Corrin who was
honoured with the Doctor of the Year Award. The award,
called the Glenn Sawyer Award, is given annually to an

genuinely heartfelt way for the community to thank Dr.
Corrin for his years of 'dedicated service to Luclmow.
• • Credit must be given to Dr.• Corrin's•wife, Margaret, for
her years:of patience and..dedication to her husband. There'
must have been . many nights where social events were
planned but; due to amedical emergency in the community,
the plans had to he put off, • . •
This night wan for YouDr. Corrin. Thanks again,,

•• The wedding between Doctor James*
Cameron and ,Rebecca Barclay took place
•one Saturday afternoon in the early part of
September. It was • a beautiful • day and
comparatively warm .for the time of year.
Most othp herr,* was completed and the
stubbled fields were like yellow patches in
the multicoloured quilt of the countryside.
With more affluence and more time to
spare •for celebration, the , people, were,
determined to make this wedding the best
that had ever taken place •in Redtrees.
• The bride was driven.to the church in.a
• gaily decorated canjage, preceded by Neil
MacCrirmnon playing the traditional High-
land wedding tune, The Lewis Bridal Song •
(Maki's Wedding). Following behind, an
enthusiastic little crowd formed an
im-
prornptu choir and adjusted the words of
the song to suit the occasion.
. "Step we gaily, on. we go, . •
Heel for heel and toe for toe,.
Arm in arm and row en row,
•
For Rebecca's wedding".
The procession, whichMad started early
so that it' could ,wmd its way around, the
community before heading towards the
church, was a fakinating sight. Rebecca
was attired in a white satin gown with a
flowing headdress (a gift from Kathleen
Jamieson) and ;carried a bouquet of red
Mses. The horse was decked in coloured
,ribbons andhad,small bells .attached to its
harries. MacCrOmon was dressed in the
full regalia of Clan MacLeod, and the
turning maple leaven, together with the
colourful dresses of the. womenfolk who
followed the ,c,Arrage, gavel a stdpsh of
glorious colour never seen in the Caledon
-Huls. 1 • • •
The best man was Ian Jamieson. He was
dressed in, a formal suit with a.,stilif white
collarand a stove -pipe top hat. Although
his attire n-ust have been very warmand
uncomfortable, he smiled to every onlooker •
as he passed by, Seated beside the -bride,
he was as snooty as the Prince of • Wales
driving to Saint Faults Cathedral. •
, The sound of the ,pipes brought people
out of the church to witness the coming of
the bride. But on teeing the huge crowd
which followed the carriage, they scurried
back inside so as not to lose their seats\
Kathleen Jamiesonhad been .playing a
selection of organ mutic to entertain the
congregation, but she stopped when the
'commotion outside the church heralded the
coming of the brifie. When Rebecca and
• the best man appeared in the' doorway,
Kathleen began to play the traditional
wedding march. There were many oos and
Ms as Rebecca swept byin all her radiance
and splendour to take her place at thefrOnt
of the church by the side of Doetor'
Cameron. • •,
The Reverend Duncan MacLeod did not
follow the usual marriage ceremony
pattern but chose his own Words for the
occasion.
"We are gathered here today tO join two
people in holy matrimony who, by their
dedication to the sick and, needy, are
already bound tO each other and this com-
munity in unselfish love and devotion,
James CaMeron, wilt thou take this woman
Rebecca Barclay to be thy lawful Wedded
wife " ' •
There was hardly a sound from the
audience during the ceremony but when
MacLeod finally said: "You may kist the
bride", there was an unusual hubbub and
many of the women stood on their feet so
as not to miss the first marriage Msg.
At a , sign from the minister, Neil
1VIacCrinnon approached the front of
• Chiirch, and as the happy coup10 • paced
together down the aisle, he filled his bag
and 'played the beautiful twie Amaling
Grace.

her husband's ribs when Chippy said quite
loudly: "If its such a happy day, I kinna
• ken what all the women are weepen'
about!"
. But weep they did, quite freely and
•. unashamed. Never had anybody seen such
a fine wedding, not 'even back, in their •
native Scotland, and most certainly not
• between two such popular, people.
Outside the church, Doctor Cameron
addressed the crowd, as he stood up in the
• carriage and brushed the rice from his snit. ,
••"My dear friends and neighbours.
Rebecca d 1 want to thank all those who
participated to make this thehappiest day
of oUr liven. Provided nobody is about to.. .„
leave or enter this world tonight, We shall
be pleased to join you in the celebration
• which is to take' place in our. new
community hall. I hope we shall have lots
6£ fun."
