Ernie Repetto's 90th BirthdayPhotos and Report from Iris Green |
|
| Ernie's 90th Birthday celebration was held in the Prince Philip Hall on Sunday 17th April 2016 as the RMS was due to be here on his actual birthday and a community reception was planned for that day. It was a lovely day and many of the community came along to join in the celebrations. Chief Islander Ian Lavarello read out a message from Ernie's sister Violet, in the UK, and then every one sang Happy Birthday to him. He really enjoyed his party. | |
