This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on December 21, 2009
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER: Mr. Speaker, seventy years is truly a rare and valued milestone regardless of the occasion, and I rise in this hon. House today to congratulate Joseph and Mabel Peddle of Spaniard’s Bay on celebrating their seventieth wedding anniversary.

On December 25, 1939, they exchanged their vows at Holy Redeemer Anglican Church, Spaniard’s Bay. The occasion was celebrated on Saturday, December 19, at their residence, at which time I had the honour to present certificates from both federal and provincial officials.

Throughout the event, Mr. and Ms Peddle reflected on their many memories and experiences to family and friends who came to offer congratulations. At the ages of ninety-one and ninety-three they enjoy good health, and an appreciation for the many blessings that have come their way. Being very active over the years with their church and community, they are truly an inspiration to us all.

Mr. Speaker, I ask all hon. members to join me in extending congratulations to Joseph and Mabel Peddle on their seventieth anniversary, and to wish them good health for years to come.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
