Member’s Statement On Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary Of Albert And Febula Bohnet

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, before we launch into the pressing housing issues of the day, I’d just like to take a moment to pay tribute to a relationship of love and commitment that has stood the test of time. On February 24, 1945, Albert Bonnet met Febula Heron in Edmonton and married her and, shortly thereafter, he took her to Fort Smith where they reside to this day. They have brought into this world seven children and they are now, as well, proud grandparents 15 times and great-grandparents eight times over. Today, Mr. Speaker, they’re celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary.

---Applause

Truly a relationship that has stood the test of time and I’d like to thank you for honouring that accomplishment. I apologize for not being at their celebration on Saturday, but I wish them all the best in the world and, of course, may the next 60 years be as good as the first. Thank you.

---Laughter
