Stratchona
Do any VCHS people attend - I'm a '68 graduate.
I'm hesitant - I think I'm too shy!! Is it mostly guys? (I'm a girl.)
Hi graindesable51,............. As far as I understand 'any' ex-Verdun' resident can go,& would be widely Welcome,..... You could be our roaming reporter sort of ,.if you go & mill around with everyone,take some pics if you can,.We 'd sure like to see them posted here on the board,...Every year we have people mention the Get together at the Stathcona Hotel ,in toronto,but we never hear any updates in the days that follow the party........If you do decide to go,We would look forward to your experiences,.....I don't know how many people do go,but You could tell them about this site ,Maybe some of them would like to share some old Verdun Stories & photos,...or whatever,.Good luck,and I hope you have a ball if you do go. As far as ex-VCHS students,I would think there must be some..........
I do believe that it was the "VOBs" that started the whole Strathcona Verdun Get-together. They were/are a group of VCHS Alumni. Am I off on this one Glen? Wish I could be there.......
