Dear Verdunites and Riverview Alumni:
Just in case there are new members who may have missed my previous inquiry, or others who saw it and didn't get a chance to reply, I'm posting again.
I am trying to get any information that anyone has about Mr. Hebb, who was a principal at Riverview for several years circa the late 1920s to the 1930s. If you have to check with parents and grandparents it would be appreciated.
Anyone who knows anything about Mr. Hebb while he was at Riverview or is, or knows, someone who was a student during the Hebb years can contact me at:
bfantie@american.edu
I'm also looking for anyone who has access to records from the school during the same period that might tell us anything about Hebb while he was there.. My Mom still lives in Verdun, so I can visit and collect information from anyone who can help. (I went to Woodland (but don't hold that against me).
For those who are interested, the young Mr. Hebb went on to become one of the most influential psychologists-neuroscientists of the 20th century.
Thanks,
Bryan (VHS '69)

Try looking through McGill archives, if this excerpt refers to the same Mr Hebb, .............try thr web address at the bottom of the printed page,it may be of some use........Have Fun & Remember Verdun
Thanks, Les.
We're looking specifically for information about Hebb while he was in Verdun. An old professor of mine at Dalhousie is Hebb's archivist and he is writing a book (or two). He has stuff on Hebb from all over the place....but we want more from the Verdun years.
When I was a graduate student at Dalhousie, Hebb's office was right next to mine (He went home to Nova Scotia after retiring from McGill). I used to go into his office and chat with him about Verdun (and other things)....
Thanks for your help....although I cannot see the photo you posted...
Cheers,
Bryan
