On Jan. 27, Gregory (Harry) Finkewich, celebrated his 106th birthday surrounded by friends and family.  About 50 people attended the party, held in the MPR at Country Meadows, in Neepawa.

Well wishes also came in the mail; Finkewich received seven certificates, including one from the Queen. Following some speeches, Finkewich spoke, thanking all those who attended.

Olga Duncan, his daughter, said he was impressed with the turnout, including some old friends from Glenella, where he lived from 1938 until moving into Country Meadows about two years ago. Duncan says her dad is still in good health and looking forward to next year’s birthday
