Long time, beloved Cranbrook resident Bud Abbott was royally feted Jan. 23 on the occasion of his 95th birthday.

Bud is as robust as one can be half way through their ninth decade and he delighted all when the renowned entertainer took to the stage with a number of talented friends Saturday night at the Cranbrook Royal Canadian Legion.
