Past and present staples of Huron East recognized Shaun Gregory Huron Expositor The council of Huron East acknowledged three past and present employ- ees for their milestones and day after day -year after year of constant dedication to the municipality. In a few words, reading from some notes, the Mayor of Huron East, Bernie MacLellan rightfully so, accredited each person December 20. Sitting patiently in the gallery of the council chambers was Connie Mar- ion, MacLellan considered her to being one of the "founding fathers" of Huron East, seeing that she had devoted 37 years of employment, way before Huron East amalgamated from the town of Seaforth. He then asked her to come up and receive a few BIA gift certificates that she chose herself; the Mayor said this choice alone shows Marion's commit- ment to the town. "When I started 37 years Shaun Gregory At the last meeting of 2016, retired Connie Marion was honoured by the council of Huron East for her 37 years of employment with the municipality. ago, I was on a typewriter, then they brought in com- puters, we've had a lot of upgrades," said Marion while holding back some tears. "I loved every minute of it, I was sure I would be here until I'm 65 -years -old, but I had to start that new chapter." "I had friends pass away before 60, I thought nope I'm not staying until 65, I did love all my years here, thanks again." Next in line, retired Paul Josling, chief building offi- cial, who started doing inspections for the munici- pality in 1991. Apparently, MacLellan said at one point in time, he had been responsible for duties of Morris, Turnberry (before they amalgamated), and Blyth. "It hit us hard when Paul took ill, the bottom line Paul had a great way about him, he was soft with peo- ple. But he always made sure things were done," stated MacLellan. "He did a great job at keeping council informed and we miss him."
