The delicious lunch was served by the wiv- es and afterwards Raoul Fournier on behalf of everyone present had the honour of presenting John and Dora with a beautiful oil painting by Mary Middaugh of the Aguasabon falls. Dancing to taped music was enjoyed by all to round off the evening. Previous to this farewell party, Dora was the guest of honour at a ladies get together at the home of Marg Simmer. Fourteen ladies from the ladies evening, ladies afternoon and two from the mixed bowling league who Dora bowled with had a good time and Freda Knight on behalf of the ladies presented Dora with an Amethyst Bracelet as a memento of her years in Terrace Bay. The bridge club that Dora played in, took her out to dinner at the Red Dog recently and at the end of a scrumptious meal Dora was presented with an Amethyst Pendant to match the Bracelet she has received from her bowling friends. This is local work and will be treas- ured by Dora. Freda and John Knight held a dinner party at their home for a few close friends of John and Dora's. Ab and Alice Farrow, Phil and Tom Turner, the Knights and Garvins enjoyed a soc- ial evening following the dinner.
