Ted Hayward - "The Voice of the Valley"
our Number One DJ

In January, 1999, the Homecoming Committee was dealt a terrible blow by the sudden death of Ted Hayward, at the age of 48. Ted had played at every Homecoming dance from 1982 to 1996 and was ready with the tunes for Homecoming 2000.

Recalling the words of long time friend Allison McPhail in his eulogy to his "Chubby Buddy."
Ted was always there with his music. Playing the tunes at the school 'sock hops,' the parties, the graduations, the weddings and the homecomings. When we fell in love, Ted was there with his music, when we broke up (sometimes in the same night), Ted was there with his music. We love you Ted and we will miss you.

The first Post Office in Andover was the Zetta Kelly building seated along the St. John river. Later it was moved to a build next to Bishop's store (picture) where it remained until 1976.	The Perth-Andover post office (pictured - photo by Vaughan DeMerchant) which servers the entire village (both sides of the river) was built in 1976 and is still in use.
The River Valley Civic Centre (pictured - photo by Vaughan DeMerchant) was a co-operative project between the village of Perth-Andover, the province of New Brunswick and the government of Canada. It was completed in 1995 and replaced the aging Perth-Andover Centennial Arena. It is situated between Andover Elementary School and Southern Victoria High School on School Street in Andover. It includes an arena, fitness centre, conference room and the offices of the Perth-Andover Recreation Commission.	This tree, one of the largest in New Brunswick, is just outside of Perth-Andover. Because of its' extreme age (nearly 400 years) the new addition of the Trans Canada Highway has been rerouted to avoid damaging the landmark. (Photo by Vaughan DeMerchant).
The court house (pictured) in Andover was built in 1876. The second floor still serves as the court house, the lower floor hosts the Department of Revenue and the Department of Transportation (Motor Vehicle branch) offices.	Old Aroostook School. No dating information currently available.
