Ford Finscéal

Talking to Kevin today and he told me that his Mom-in-law needed Surgery. She has 80% blockage and that needs to get fixed.

As mentioned earlier, tomorrow, December 17 will be my Dads 85th birthday. If any of you wish to call him (which he would be thrilled by) his number is 905-938-5749. I should let you know though that although the doctor is quite certain he does not have Alzheimers he has had some major short term memory problems lately. Love to all, Loretto

I dropped into Uncle Rudy and Aunt Noras place today (Tues. 16/08) with my daughter Ellen. We had a really nice visit. Aunt Nora has a whole photo Album of Ford pictures of the 1930 and 40s, most of which i had never seen before. She is naturally very protective of these photos. I wish she has a scanner so we could get them onto the Blog. Aunt Nora gave me a copy of this article that was in the Hamilton Spectator at the time of the first big reunion in August of 1987. I hope the article is readable on the blog.

My wife Maureen and i started looking thru some old photos of my family for a calender for a birthday present for my fathers birthday. He turns 85 on the 17th Here are some of the best ones

Since we are on the topic of keeping people in our thoughts, please remember Anne's mother. Kevin called the other day and said that his mother in law had had a heart attack and was in the hospital but doing alright. Today she seems to have taken a turn and we are waiting for news. For those of you who have not met Anne's mom she is the corner stone of Anne's family who has taken ALL of us in with a running "Come visit me." on her lips whenever we leave. Yes even me. Now she is no longer just Anne's Mom but mom to many of us, Anne and her sister's just get first dibs.

Hi All Keep Uncle Bernie in your prayers today. Aunt Jackie called my house today to say that he is in the hospital as he had a blood clot that travelled to his lung. He is apparently stable at this time. Maybe Debbie can fill us in as he recovers. Debbie please let him know that we are all thinking of him.
