Bill and Susan Ruffett of Lefroy eloped on November 29, 1905, and they've been married ever since. The Ruffetts celebrated their 72nd anniversary last week, and more than 100 friends and relatives dropped in. Bill, 92, and Susan, 88, had seven children, 18 grandchildren, and one great, great grandchild.

Stewart and Grace Donnelly of Lefroy were guests of honor at a farewell party and presentation on Saturday night at the South Innisfil Community Centre. Master of ceremonies Don McNabb, in a jovial manner, recalled events in the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Donnelly including their community involvement. A presentation of a pair of matching chairs was made on behalf of the large crowd of friends and relatives attending. Sinclair Stevens (MP York-Simcoe) also took the opportunity to recognize the couple's work for the party. The recipients are seen here with Mr. Stevens and Don McNabb(right). The Donnellys will be moving soon to Sundridge.

"Doug Bone, who began collecting old telephones only three years ago, says he now has the largest private collection of antique and unusual phones in Canada. He stumbled into his hobby quiet by accident. Doug and his wife, Joan, who shares his interest, visited the Bruce peninsula in search of glass insulators. While there they were offered two old box telephones. They were not especially interested but bought them anyway. Doug cleaned them inside and out, which was all he needed to stir up the unbounded enthusiasm for the hobby for which he is known today in both Canada and United States. Since that time, he has purchased a major part of one man's collection and all of another's. In addition he visited many of the 30 independent telephone companies still operating in Ontario. He bought a few old phones and a few parts and threw his energy into restoring, trading, and buying phones. His collection includes 160 telephones, all clean and polished like new."
