Thanks for all the kind message extended on the Occasion of the passing of my mother the late Grace Elizabeth (Atkinson) Retson. She was a great lady and will, along with her husband, live on in the memory of her children and friends.
Rotary Share Year Coming to an End
The Rotary Share Year ends June 30th. I have enjoyed the year but all good things must come to an end. The coming year I will be "Past President" with responsibilities for Programs but a much reduced work load. I plan to get back into genealogy as soon as possible as well resume Bridge.
Model United Nations Assembly
May 1st to 3rd Jim and Roberta attended the Model United Nation's Assembly in Winnipeg. Manitoba. Kenora Ontario, a city of 16500 took 10 students, all of whom acquited themselves well. For those who want more information can see the Resolutions on my Muna site at http://members.shaw.ca/jretson/muna.html.
is the newest web page that I have begun. There is nothing there yet but it gives me something to work on. I am starting to work on this page you are presently reading which will soon replace the default page as my new home page. I hope to add a Social Political Issues Page as well as a page on my funeral. That page can be found at My Funeral. If you go to the site now you won't see much because I have just begun. I hope the page may be of some benefit to my staff who have to hold some ceremonies for some of our consumers and I really believe they could save a lot of money as well as do a lot better job than when the family goes to a religious ceremony where the consumer hasn't saw they inside of the insides od a church for over 50 years. Besides I figure I might as well enjoy my funeral now as i won't be there to enjoy it when it does take place.
