Saluting those lost
A member of the Brussels Cadet Corps takes a moment to
remember the men and women who served and lost their
lives during'war during the Remembrance Day ceremony at
Brussels Royal Canadian Legion Branch 180 cenotaph.
Well it’s been a week of waiting -
waiting to see who will be the leader
of our big neighbour in the next
country. Will it be Bush or Gore, or
Gore or Bush? It depends on what
day you’re talking and who’s count
ing.
Oh, well I guess we’ll just wait,
but what if the municipal and then
the federal elections need recounts?
Oh my!
The weather, our biggest topic of
conversation has continued to be ter
rific. We even have visitors who
ventured out of Toronto in
November because the weather has
been so nice. Jody and Korby spent
the weekend with Mom and Dad
Boynton and Joan Jacobs had a long
overdue visit from her cousin
Waneta.
Lots of chatter going on.
The Remembrance Day service at
the Legion was well attended on
Saturday as was the church service
after. The two United Joans were in
charge of the worship in Brussels
this year reminding us that we have
to learn from the war years that
peace can be achieved if it starts and
for your vote at the
polls in Brussels
on Monday. Your
continued interest
and support are
essential as Huron
East grows and
develops to become
our community.
Ralph Watson
is maintained by each of us.
The Brussels folk at Braemar
Nursing Home were happy to have
Marguerite Crawford and Iona
McLean join their team this past
week. Ella, Laura and Ken showed
them the ropes of living in commu
nity and were so pleased to have
them for company.
Well the election stuff is with us
still, so smile and consider your
vote, and again be reminded that yes,
one vote, yours, can make a differ
ence.
Bye now, Betty G. W.
