Walk Down memory Lane
The modest notice in the paper got the ball
rolling. An e-mail address was set up. Contact
people designated. An all-important mailing
list was developed. Teachers and ex-teachers
[a good number of whom had been students]
joined the committee. They included: Janet
Burgoyne, Rebecca Rock, Ted Veinot, and
Betty Walsh. Ex-students joined, including:
Isobel Crossland, Pat Eisenhauer-Veinot
[granddaughter of Old School construction
supervisor, Warren Eisenhauer] and Bev Bruhm
-Ernst [daughter of the Boston Marathon
runner], Joan Levy, Jackie Whynot, and Shirley
Burgoyne.
‘We expect more than 300 people for a very exciting weekend of parties, sports,
dances, concerts, last-walk tours of the school, a community supper, a car rally,
golf tournament, church service, and sharing of fond memories.’
The vision was huge and the final schedule was not far off the vision. Would
they come?-the question that haunts the dark moments of every event
organiser’s thoughts. Yes they did, from as far away as Florida, Pennsylvania
and British Columbia. There were also letters of regret from those unable to
travel. Ulrica Strum-Davis wrote regrets from St. Catherine’s, Ontario, but
sent memories and pictures. A collection of memorabilia was assembled for
viewing and sharing.
