FORMER STUDENTS OF ST WILLIBROD

I saw this notice over at the Pointe Website and thought that I would post it here just in case there is any interest: Quote

Open Note to Students of St. Willibrord's 1953 to 1961 - Alice {Bundza} Mossey - is looking for you.  Had the great pleasure of meeting 3 former students and being in touch with 1 in B.C. in the past month.  Would love to hear from a bunch and see if we can have a reunion in Verdun.
Linda Minucci owns a restaurant on Hickson and Wellington which would be a great place to meet.
Pass the word on - get in touch - let's see what happens

Verdun Protestant HS Reunion for June 1968 Grads

Eric Buchanan is trying to see if any grads from June 1968 are interested in a reunion. This is our 40th year anniversary. He put out e-mails on Classmates.com but has not had much response. If anyone from that graduating class is interested please e-mail Eric Buchanan at eric.buchanan@sympatico.ca and let him know.

Generation Gap Reunion Verdun July 2008

 

Hi I have all the info and pictures for the different genesis of the Generation Gap starting off with the original band named the Gnomes featuring Danny Beck, Brent Meldrum, John Frainetti, Mike and Kevin Gauld and myself, Dave McAuliffe. The name was changed to the Kotics but that's a story that only Robin Williams could explain with some justice so we changed the name to The Generation Gap. The line-up changed with the addition of Charlie Clark, Kirby Edgel, Alex Bielajew, John and myself. Although we did have a sax and horn players in the band this did not last long. Played at various venues around Quebec, Ontario, new York and Vermont. Were the headliners at the 1968 Verdun Winter Carnival and played the Youth Pavillion at Man and His World. The Last time the band played togerher was in 1969 at Angrion Park with the line-up of John, Alex, Kevin, Mike and myself. Now for the good stuff. The band is planning a Verdun Reunion 40th. Anniversary get together in July of 2008. It will be a 60's theme reunion and to quote Mike G. it will be a "come as you were" party. You can get more info when you contact me at generationgap@hotmail.com So spread the word and hope to see you all there.

Pics - 76 Reunion

Hi

 

Was wondering if there will be any pics from the 76 reunion posted?

THE LAST REUNION

THE CLASS REUNION   Every ten years, as summertime nears, An announcement arrives in the mail, A reunion is planned; it'll be really grand; Make plans to attend without fail.     I'll never forget the first time we met; We tried so hard to impress. We drove fancy cars, smoked big cigars, And wore our most elegant dress.        It was quite an affair; the whole class was there. It was held at a fancy hotel. We wined, and we dined, and we acted refined, And everyone thought it was swell.     The men all conversed about who had been first To achieve great fortune and fame. Meanwhile, their spouses described their fine houses And how beautiful their children became.     The homecoming queen, who once had been lean, Now weighed in at one-ninety-six. The jocks who were there had all lost their hair, And the cheerleaders could no longer do kicks.     No one had heard about the class nerd Who'd guided a spacecraft to the moon; Or poor little Jane, who's always been plain; She married a shipping tycoon.     The boy we'd decreed "most apt to succeed" Was serving ten years in the pen, While the one voted "least" now was a priest; Just shows you can be wrong now and then.      They awarded a prize to one of the guys Who seemed to have aged the least. Another was given to the grad who had driven The farthest to attend the feast.        They took a class picture, a curious mixture Of beehives, crew cuts and wide ties. Tall, short, or skinny, the style was the mini; You never saw so many thighs.      At our next get-together, no one cared whether They impressed their classmates or not. The mood was informal, a whole lot more normal; By this time we'd all gone to pot.      It was held out-of-doors, at the lake shores; We ate hamburgers, coleslaw, and beans. Then most of us lay around in the shade, In our comfortable T-shirts and jeans.       By the fortieth year, it was abundantly clear, We were definitely over the hill. Those who weren't dead had to crawl out of bed, And be home in time for their pill.    And now I can't wait; they've set the date; Our fiftieth is coming, I'm told. It should be a ball, they've rented a hall At the Shady Rest Home for the old.        Repairs have been made on my hearing aid; My pacemaker's been turned up on high. My wheelchair is oiled, and my teeth have been boiled; And I've bought a new wig and glass eye.      I'm feeling quite hearty, and I'm ready to party I'm gonna dance 'til dawn's early light. It'll be lots of fun; But I just hope that there's one Other person who can make it that night. Author Unknown

 

 

Reunion

I have heard that there is going to be a reunion for those who attended St. Willibrord's, however, am having difficulty obtaining any info.  Can anyone out there help me?

verdun high school; class of 81 reunion

A 25 year reunion has been planned for the class of 1981 of Verdun High School. A lot of time and effort has gone into this and unfortunately a very small group of people have replied or shown interest. We are now about 4 weeks away and if not enough interest is shown or replies received in the next two weeks, we will have no choice but to cancel. (Due to the fact that we are responsible for paying for a minimum of 100 people, the cost will be too great for us to absorb.)

Come on guys!! It's 25 years! Even if there's only a few people you'd like to see or remember fondly....why not??? We're in our forties and we'll probably be surprised at how good it is to see each other even if we weren't close back then. I know I'm looking forward to seeing ALL of you. Sound corny?? Well, it'll most likely be the last time. Come on,,,take a chance...It'll be a blast!!  Send in your replies or contact Donna. Or contact me at 514-989-8351. Really, really hoping to see you all there!!
