George we haven't heard anything from any of the reunion party's in Toronto since 2002 and some of the guys sent in photo's there is an old photo album on the MSN site last page I believe last album, several shots in and around the bar,showing a banner celebrating the 10th annual at the time,seems noone thinks to take shots(maybe not allowed,in a bar anymore???) but the only person who has reported anything re: the reunion , was Glen Pilon ,who as I understand it,could not attend this year.Perhaps one year I will make it back there & see for myself the turnout etc etc .... but in checking today's weather back east, I would most likely not choose December to make a pilgrimage back east......Yikes ! I'll stick with the We_tcoast here on Southern Vancouver Island......................

Les it's only snow ,then rain,then freezing rain,then more snow by tomorrow morning. You getting soft?
lol
When I was living in Etobicoke I went to the Strathcona Reunion. Still have two "Authentic Verdun Sportswear shirts " I purchased back in 1996 or 1997.

George the only place I like to see the white stuff , is up on the Olympic Range across the strait from us or when I look over at MtBaker,.......... getting soft...maybe but I think of it as getting smart. lol.......

we are now into the rain portion of the forecast and our temperature has risen. At least we don't have to shovel the rain but later on tonight when the temperature drops the driveway will be turning into an ice rink.
It's all the slipping and sliding that keeps us easterners spry. lol It sounds good.
