Our condolences and deepest sympathies to the Keon family on the passing of Paul Keon of Chapeau, Que. He was the son of the late Dr. Harold and Nora Keon. His funeral was held at St. Alphonsus Church on Feb. 23.
Get well wishes to Laura Meehan who is recovering from hip surgery at the Pembroke Regional Hospital.
Belated birthday greetings go out to Fr. Tom Fitzpatrick who celebrated his birthday on March 2. We are very fortunate to have him say our Saturday evening mass in Sheen. Larry Turner also celebrated his birthday on March 3.
Birthday greetings and best wishes go out to our daughter-in-law Sonya and my cousins Kim Chaput Glofcheskie and Lolita Needham on March 5, Lois Ranger, Larry Gleason and Barry Ferguson on March 8 and Gilles Martin, Jason Hynes and Donna Gagnon on March 10. My sister and I share the same birthday.
On Saturday, a group of us left from Sheen and snowmobiled as far as Fort Coulonge. We returned to the Waltham Station where we had a nice lunch. We also met our neighbours, Brent and Erin Robinson of the ICO Road and Brian and Cathy of Hudson Bay Road. The trails were in excellent shape and quite busy.
Also, while I was away enjoying the heat, I hear Andrew Perrault was out sledding with the guys on the trails in Sheen. Bravo Andrew and a “tip of the hat to the elves.”
On Sunday, a crew of music lovers from the Pontiac went to Cobden, Ont. to help kick off St. Patrick’s Day with Gail Gavan and her band. It was an absolutely wonderful afternoon of Irish entertainment by Shamus Costello, Brian Hebert, Mike Ryan and Gail herself. Added entertainment: Roddy McCann, the Enright stepdancers and our very own Donna Tierney who finished up the show by singing “The Wild Colonial Boy.”
On a sadder note, our condolences and deepest sympathies go out to the Ryan family of Pakenham, Ont., on the passing of their dad, Billy Ryan. The Ryan brothers have performed in Sheenboro in the past.
Happy winter break to the educators, bus drivers and students of Quebec.
There is no shortage of snow this year for winter sports. Enjoy.
