Uncle Bernard was always a lot of fun. His smile was infectious and he could tell a great story. He and Aunt Mary were good parents, hard workers, honest people, and simple in the purest and most respected essence of that word. It is a blessing to have known them as Uncle Bernard and Aunt Mary.

Memories of the Newton Family go back to my very earliest, when Bernard's father was minister in Stowe. They've always been a part of the very backbone of Stowe. Nice to think of him with Mary again.
