The Passing of A Great Friend

I hate posting news such as this, but, a great friend of mine, Janette Mulholland has passed away.

I met Janette, late in 2007, she was the President of The Leamington Agricultural Society, and when I decieded to move HAIR DARE DUKES WEEKEND, to the town of Leamington.

We spoke on the phone a few times, and finally met up for lunch at a local place in Leamington.

Janette was such a nice person, right from the start, she really liked my ideas, and she asked me if I would like to become Director for the society.
Well, I joined, and now I 'm on the Board of Directors for the Leamington Fair.

I have had our Canadian Dukes Museum, and a few of our Hazzard cars at the fair, June 2008, and again in June 2009.

The Leamington Fair, June 2009, was in my eyes a great weekend, for the family.
Janette, even though she was extremmely busy during the weekend, she came over to our display. I was able to get a few great photos of Janette, and the girls.

I still do not believe we have lost such a great person, even though I attended the funeral, she was a very outstanding person in my life.

She will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her.


Here is what was in the newspaper.
