Canadian National Team and now Princeton University
Dear Editor
Focus on Scugog did such a beautiful article (June 2024) on my daughter, Abigail, and her water polo journey.
She had a wonderful time in China last September where she was named player of the game in Canada’s opening match versus Thailand.
Abigail had an excellent tournament and was so thankful for all of the support she received from Focus on Scugog and the Port Perry community. She has since been offered a spot on the Princeton University women’s D1 water polo team, was accepted to Princeton University, and will be continuing her academic and water polo journeys down in New Jersey beginning in September 2025.
We are so excited for what her future holds. Thank you again for all of the support you’ve given her.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Folk
Very happy to be here to say ‘thanks’
Dear Editor
Imagine my total surprise, that instead of celebrating with my crazy baseball and legion family for New Year’s Eve, I ended up bing transferred by ambulance (such wonderful and professional care from the paramedics) to the Emergency Department at our amazing Port Perry Hospital on the evening of December 31, 2024. Following an IV infusion with many other medications and fluids administered, by our extremely competent nurses, I was sent home in the early evening.
The next morning I had to return once again and was admitted by Dr. Safa with extreme breathing problems – infusion with more medications, fluids and shocking of my heart, not once, but three times!
How many times can I say ‘thank you’ to Dr. Safa, Dr. Zue and unbelievable nursing staff; Marilyn, Lillia, Quinn, Joanne, Sarah, Jenna, Samantha, Bailey and Jenna. Never, ever enough! A special mention to Mel from the kitchen and to John, who was kept so busy with cleaning the rooms.
How many times can I say ‘thank you’ to my family, my amazing neighbours and my friends for taking care of me for over three weeks now with this Influenza A. Once more, never enough!
So thanks to you all and stay safe, stay happy and above all, please stay healthy!
Sincerely,
Linda L. Brown (Brownie)
