How about The Gilette Friday Night Fights & then wrestling from the Forum
(not really one of my favs but sure was popular in the early days of B&W TV)
Certainly the CBC Radio Can. (French) version of La Famille Plouffe.

P.S. Do you remember the old man Plouffe's "Le Sirop Calment" stashed in
the kitchen cupboard that he went to whenever things got a little tight.

Homeward Bound

Well Gang, I'll be heading home on the train this Thursday, I'll be God's Country about 5:30 PM. Hope to see all of you Riverviewer's at the reunion. You know something , when I go back this time I'm going to have a different perspective of Verdun. After reading so many of your posts, when I drive by the different Ave's I can think "oh yeah, that's where Sharon lived or that's where 2nd ave gang is talking about, by the way I lived at 800 2nd ave from 60-64. Anyways gang you have fun until I get back and I'll post some pics from the reunion. PS the food is going to be soooo good.
Take Care

St.Willibrord High School

Our class of 52 has a reunion every 2 or 3 years at a different girl's house.  They have come from as far as Austria and California and Florida.  We were due to have one this year but I have been sick this year and couldn't get around to organize it.  Hopefully we will have one next year in Montreal.  We have been very fortunite that we are only missing 1 out of 21 girls in the class.  She passed away about 5 years ago.  We have a lot of fun and usually stay at different girl's homes and make it an overnighter.  Try it you'll love it.
