only esteem and admira- tion are on the menu. So it was Friday at EastRidge Evangelical Missionary Church. The object of affection was Stewart Wideman, a life- long Stoufl‘ville resident. Stu, or Stewie as he’s known to a wide circle of friends, was the guest of honour at an appre- ciation party celebrating his 17 years as chief host of the men's monthlyle buffet breakfast. Until this month. Stewart announced his retirement in December. It was back in 1992 when this affable father of two hit upon a plan that would bring together men of the community for two hours of spiritual support and fellowship. Toast with roast perfect at breakfast At the initial get- together, at Angie's Eat- ery (now Stakeout Din- ing Room and Lounge), 23 attended. But the seed had been sown and from that modest beginning the crop would rapidly flourish resulting in a peak attendance of 172. In addition to a per- sonal approach, Stewart had the ability to attract many excellent speakers including Mike Gartner. Paul Henderson, Mike ‘Pinball' Clemons, Ron Ellis, Dean Prentice, Jerry Howarth and Dr. Charles Price. Nor was the podi- um always maleâ€"domi- nated. Fourteen women also took a turn. The site was later switched to EastRidge. Tea and coffee along with giant-sized help- ings of sausage. muffins and marmalade proved equally attractive. While a sense of sad- ness permeated Friday’s gathering, Stewart's sons, Kent and Keith Wide- man, and wife, Barbara, provided an upbeat note with a Don Cherry/Ron MacLean routine. Other speakers included Bob and Keith Lewis, Murray Pipher, Don Hardy and Dr. John Moore. “Thanks for the memo- ries,” said Murray. “sixty eight ygars a_nd cpumgqg.” While the breakfast Offering is free-will. as many know it Will “0‘ Refreshments will be COMinuev something served after the concert. similar is already in the [im Thomas is a works.

Doctor leaving Following the retire- ment of Dr. Glen Graham, I was left without a per- sonal physician. Fortunately, wife Jean had earlier acquired the services of Stouffville's Janice Li. On strictly pas- sionate grounds, Dr. Li agreed to take me on. Whileinitiallynervous, I soon discovered her to be everything for which Roaming Around 1 had hoped: personal, efficient, knowiedgeable, caring and kind. But all good things must come to an end. After 25 years in family practice, Dr. Li will soon join the staff at Markham Stouffville Hospital. Ald for Halt! She'll be missed - cer- tainly by me.
