Happy New Year ... from 1995! Dave and Jeannie Godfrey have waited over 20 years to use this photo of their former license plate on the cover of their Happy New Year cards. Inside, the card reads: “Have been waiting a long time to make this card. If we hadn’t moved to Florida in 1995, we would now have the current year on our license plate. Dave and Jeannie.” Courtesy photo The 2016-2017 grade eight boys basketball team.
