Have Your Say: Happy Birthday to Maeve Field

My friendliest, warmest, best wishes for a happy birthday to Maeve Field, who celebrated her 9th birthday on April 1, 2023. I turned 84 on Monday the 3rd of April and I never fail to think of Maeve and hope she is doing well as our birthdays approach.

I encourage as many drivers as I can, as they approach 80, to think very seriously of making alternate arrangements for their private lives to make it possible for them to give up driving at 80. It’s possible to do so; I know, as I sold my car months before my 80th birthday and returned my driving license to the Ministry with my thanks. I’ve never regretted that decision, not least because it means I can live what remains of my life without the guilt of having harmed someone else’s child – and we are all someone’s child whether pre-school or on the eve of retirement.

The good folk of Hagersville, I know, will never forget ‘Mighty Maeve’ and I’d very much like to join them in remembering Maeve, once more, around her birthday.
