ReplyDeleteHi Frank, I apologize, because I don't remember you. I even went as far as calling to high school friends, Mary Ann Savard and Sandra Maskel, they were no help. It is nice hearing from you though. I do remember Alan Leisham. I looked at your picture and I must say it did not help me!!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Sonny, Yes it is Judy Brown from Peterborough, welcome to Verdun connections, you will love this site. Sandra (Maskel) & Mike Nolan, were here visiting a couple of weeks ago for a few days. Mary Ann Savard lives in New Bruswick, we all visited with her last summer. Enjoy the site and keep in touch. Judy
ReplyDeleteHi Frank, Sorry I was confusing you with Herbie (can't remember his last name- senior's moment) who came to Rushbrooke School from Newfoundland. Funny story-----came home from work one day here in BC and my wife told me there was a guy from Verdun working on our furnace......lo and behold........Herbie. Stayed on for hours reminiscing. Frank, I do remember you though. You were in my class at Rushbrooke.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, Would still love to get together with you, Mike and Sandra. As a matter of fact, I'm leaving this Thurs. for Hamilton with the BC Lions and having lunch on Fri with Barb Delves and Ralph and Gail (nee Godkin) Francis. Take care, Sonny
ReplyDeleteHi Sunny,
ReplyDeletePlease do me a favor and when you see Ralph & Gail, please tell them
that Mary & Alan Archibald send their best! We used to hang around with them
when we lived in London Ontario, but kind of lost contact when they moved out of
London & we moved to Boston. Ralph & I did a lot of salmon fishing in
the Benmiller area. One of my friends from Brown Blvd, Stan Giles is married to
Gails sister Cathy. Please pass my email address to them aarchib470@aol.com , it would be great to
hear from them! Thanks and have a great trip!
Best Regards,
Alan

ReplyDeleteHey Judy - my husband was a member of the Al Azhar clown unit in Calgary until he died and one of our members Bill Miller was on the International Shrine Clowns board too. Small World.
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley It is a small world...my husband Barry does know Bill. Barry was Sneaker Fund Chairman for Canada for 10 years, and did a lot of travelling with them over the years. He is still a very active clown, busy doing the circus' now.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy,
ReplyDeleteWhich Shrine is your husband a member of? I am in the Bagpipe Band with
Aleppo here in Boston. Did he/you attend the Imperial in Baltimore last
month?
Regards,
Alan Archibald
Hi Judy,
ReplyDeleteYes, I know Ernie & Dick very well! I will be with Ernie (Rollo)
this weekend as we are parading at the country's largest Portugese Festival in
New Bedford Mass. At Aleppo, the pipe band room is right next to the clowns
room so we are always sharing a few laughs with the guys. Let me know your last
name & I will be sure to mention it to Ernie on Sunday.
Regards,
Alan
Hi Sunny,
ReplyDeleteSorry about the delay in getting back to you, this is my first day off
for a couple of weeks now. I am a bit behind in my mail, but no, I didn't
receive a message from Ralph yet. How was your trip and how are Ralph & Gail
doing?
Regards,
Alan
Hi Alan Barry belongs to Rameses. We did not go to the Imperial this year. Please say Hello to Ernie, and Marjorie if she is there. Barry is "Doodles" last name Wright.I have some very good memories of our time with the clowns through out the US, we certainly made some good friends over the years. It certainly is a small world.. Judy (Brown) Wright
ReplyDeleteHi Allan......trip was fine...had lunch with Barb Delves, however Ralph's wife, Gail, was under the weather and they had to cancel.......I copied your msge to them in an email. .....Take care, Sonny
ReplyDeleteThanks Sunny,
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to hearing from them, I appreciate your giving them my
email address.
Regards,
Alan
