FORMER FLEETERS
FORMER FLEETERS Over lunch in Crystal Beach one day in 2003, Norma and Ken Benner thought it might be a good idea to have Fleet retirees reunite. The first gathering was June 24, 2003 at the Fort Erie truck stop. The group has been meeting three times a year for lunch ever since. On Jne 17, a group of about 30 Fleet retirees enjoyed lunch and reminiscing at Bridgewater Country Club, which is where many of the former employees used to meet while working. All Fleet retirees are invited to join the group. Call Ken Benner at 905-871-2893.

Wonkers came to the Port Colborne Animal Shelter with a broken leg. Animal Care Worker Beth Robbins isn't sure what happened to the 2-year-old cat's leg, but it was so badly broken it had to be amputated. Funds from the Humane Society's emergency animal relief fund paid for the cat's surgery. He is 15-days post-op and ready for adoption.
