We had an amazing day yesterday, when we placed a memorial plaque for Alice (Porter) Ward at the Jocelyn S.S. No. 2 school on the Mountainview grounds, Twp of Jocelyn.

Ken Ward was able to attend along with his sister Marilyn Eddy and sister-in-law Judy Ward. There were at least 31 attending and the sun came out for the duration, with the school opened for the event.
