STANDING OVATION, one of several, greets Ron Huntington (at podium) as he begins his
speech of thanks in reply to tributes at his farewell dinner.

Sell-out dinner fetes
retired Capilano MP

YEARS ‘as a caring, hardworking MP reaps its
rewards. So Ron Huntington discovered at dinner

last Friday evening.

Nearly 450 guests packed the
Alpine Room at the Canyon
Gardens to pay an emotional
tenth-anniversary tribute to
the popular retiring member
for Capilano. Including
MPs, MLAs and mayors,
they represented virtually the
entire North Shore
establishment, together with
many private friends and
admirers.

Looking fit and well after
a summer convalescing from
heart surgery, Mr. Hun-
tington was accompanied by
four generations of his fami.
ly — wife Jean, his son and
daughter who now run the
family business, two grand-
children and his 87-year-old
mother

Fun and sentiment in
roughly equal proportions

‘troast’’ emceed by John

Contributors included

caucus chairman; West
Van-Howe Sound MLA
John Reynolds; North
Van-Burnaby MP Chuck
Cook; and the new Tory
Science and Technology

for Richmond-South Delta

The most moving -
though often hilarious

tribute came from “‘the
other woman’ in Hun
tington’s polincal hfe, con

Stituency secretary Gwen
Skakum, who ran his North
Shore office from the time
of his first election in 1974.

Equally hilarious were the
reminiscences of Hun-
tington’s former fiscal agent,
fundraiser-extraordinary
Bob Leeson, who wound up
the formahties by presenting
the guest of honor with an
outsize engraved champagne
chalice.

In his speech of thanks
Mr. Huntington’ expressed
his happiness over his suc-
cessor, newly elected MP
Mary Collins who was
among the guests, and his
confidence in her ability to
ably represent the consti-
tuency.

After numerous standing
ovations he was left in no
doubt about Capilano’s ap-
preciation of his own efforts
on its behalf during the past
decade
