Congratulations to Mary Elder, who celebrated her 95th birthday yesterday. There was quite a party. Mary has a big family, spread around the globe, (she herself is an accomplished traveler) and they know how to host a party!
Mary is one of the Cunningtons, from Port Cunnington. We've always had a soft spot for this family, and include them among our best friends. We have a long connection: Port Cunnington was where our own grandparents, Joe and Elizabeth, arrived in May 1905. Port was already a thriving tourist lodge at that time.
Mary tells me that she remembered her mother telling her that when she saw Elizabeth getting off the steamer, in a blue dress,in 1905, that she thought her the most beautiful lady she'd ever seen.
That's as may be. We certainly consider Mary to be one of the classiest ladies we've ever met! Happy Birthday, and Many More!!
