Praise for John Howie, Seastar

I was the grateful recipient of an invitation for come to the Seastar Restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner this year. I believe I was one of something like 500 deserving guests attending this feast, people down on their luck for one reason or another.

The sweet children arriving all dressed up and wide-eyed from witnessing the sparkling Christmas tree in the lobby were a delight to behold. The turkey and trimmings dinner was absolutely scrumptious.

Thanks to John Howie for a memorable experience. What a remarkable man.

I feel I must also mention the army of volunteers who greeted, served and made all those people who attended feel special and welcome to be there.

It was indeed a day to remember.
