C--O Ona -- 20 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 23, 1992 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Last day of school Wednesday June 24 : Greenbank News by Helen McKean We found strange news in our daily newspaper this morning - "Sunday was the coldest first day of summer in 72 years." Maybe we can still put away our woolies, yet. Kellie Marie Quantrill was baptized in church on Sunday. She is the daughter of Cheryl and Steve Quantrill in Green- bank. Our special guest soloists were Eve and Emily" Stone, granddaughters of our organist Mrs. Betty Stone. The flowers in the sanctuary were in loving memory of Mrs. Eva Stone, mother of Willie Stone. Our sympathy goes out to the Stone family at this time. Mr. Armour McMillan is very much alive and well! He phoned me to note this in our Green- bank news. A Mr. Armour McMillan was buried in Green- bank United Cemetery last week. He was the second cousin of our own Armour. His father was born in the Stone house where Bob Hunter now lives. He lived in Orillia. I hope this proves our own Armour is still with us! A delightful tea was held in Greenbank School last Thurs- day, served by the teachers and staff. This was to express their thanks and appreciation to all the volunteers who helped dur- ing the year. I want to thank Margaret Couperthwaite for writing this news column the last three weeks while I was indisposed. Too, for her kindness staying. with me and going to Whitby Hospital. We really need friends at this time. Of course I must thank everyone for their cards and good wishes I re- ceived and too, Dot Hooker, the goodies you brought over were appreciated; especially your driving Don to the hospital. Thanks everyone. Ladies of the U.C.W. please remember our Bake Sale on Fri- day afternoon. We need your pies and cookies, etc., to make this day a success. It will be held in front of the church. We hope for warmer weather.
