Members and friends of the Reformed Presbyterian Church recently celebrated three significant birthdays: a 70th, 80th and 90th! A lunch was held at the Bay House on Saturday 5th April to celebrate these significant milestones reached by Bob Lyon, Robert Dabner, and Margaret Clark. Bob, from Kansas, but in Stranraer for three months along with his wife Rita, reached the age of ‘threescore and ten’ in March. Robert completed his eighth decade in January, and Margaret, turned 90 at the end of December. The congregation’s minister, Rev. Stephen Steele, spoke of his gratitude for each of them. The memorable lunch ended with the cutting of a cake and the viewing of some old pictures that Robert had digitised for the occasion.
