| Message | We attended activities during the first week of the celebrations and had a great time. It was great to see the wonderful turnout for all of the events. I encourage everyone to take in what is left and enjoy it to the fullest. Look forward to being part of the committee in 2017. |

| Message | Plans often get changed ... I had arranged to come home for the memorial unveiling and tribute to the 'Mabel and Dorthy' but it will not happen. I will definitely be home later, in the year. Perhaps, it is all for the best because I don't think I could have gotten through the unveiling without crying. It will be a very spiritual moment for a lot of people. On that day a lot of brave and loved men will be remembered. My grandfather, and many more, will look down from above that day to find us sharing community values that cause us to always fondly remember Grand Bank. Sincerely, Ives Bolt |
