Maine FolfcsAbroad A Word for the Belfast Club of Boston Maine Reunions in Brockton and Worces ter Mass To all Belfast People Abroad and at Home The reunion of the Belfast Club of Boston March 10th was a most delightful affair and while it is still fresh in our minds I wish through the medium of The Journal to catch the ears and hearts of some of our older Belfast people who have res ided in Boston and its suburbs for 25 years or more and no doubt have in some instances lost interest in the old home on the shores of the Penobscot As a general thing as we grow older our thoughts turn to the home of our youth and we become more or less ret rospective and live over the good times and happiness we enjoyed there We feel now that the club member ship is on a sound foundation that we can hold what we have but we want to see a generous increase before another year The older ones probably reason something like this there would be few if any that they know and that they are too old etc We are never too old
