1. CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Lynn Acre called the meeting to order at 6:45 p.m.
The Mayor requested Dr. Charles Larry Leatherdale to come forward and thanked him on
behalf of Council for his dedicated efforts to Bayham and area residents over the past
forty-one years (1962—2003) as a family physician. She then presented him with a
framed certificate of recognition from the municipality.
Deputy Mayor Mathew Schafer added words of appreciation and support commenting
that Dr. Leatherdale is not only a family doctor but,as demonstrated by the number
present,is considered by many as a friend.
Lorraine Neville, former long-time employee, gave a brief outline of interesting and
trying situations over the years and gave appreciation to Council for their
acknowledgment of Dr. Leatherdale's contribution to the community in providing health
care services.
Dr. Leatherdale thanked Council for the recognition and provided a brief response
acknowledging that, as a child,people in his home community of Jarvis always had kind
words for his father(also a doctor)who had died in 1941. This influenced his desire to
follow in his father's footsteps.
He completed high school at 17, obtained work at Stelco to finance his further education,
attended University of Western Ontario and interned at Hamilton General Hospital. He
missed the lake and country life and when his mother informed him that there was a
practice available in Port Burwell in 1962,he bought a home there and continued his
practice.
The meeting, attended by a large number of friends, was adjourned to allow for a social
time, in Dr. Leatherdale's honour and reconvened at 7:12 p.m.
