My Forgetter

 

My forgetter's getting better,
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke

For when I'm  "here"  I'm wondering
If I really should be  "there"
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!

Oft times I walk into a room,
Say "what am I here for?"
I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
A zero, is my score.

At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!

When shopping I may see someone,
Say "Hi" and have a
chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, "who was that?"

Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke.

CAN YOU RELATE ? ? ?    

Please send this to everyone you know
because

I DON'T REMEMBER WHO I SENT THIS TO ! !

Golf get-together in Nova Scotia

Every Autumn a group of ex-Verdunites have been gathering at KenWo Country Club in New Minas, Nova Scotia for a little golf and a lot of socializing. I'd like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation to anyone who may be visiting Nova Scotian on Sept. 16 to join us.

Also, if you have any friends or family that have moved out this way please pass on the invitation to them.

New Minas is located in the Annapolis Valley at the western end of Nova Scotia. A long ridge known as the North Mountain seperates us from the Bay of Fundy. Close by is the town of Wolfville, home to Acadia University. The Annapolis Valley is one of the oldest settled areas of the New World. Grand Pre, site of the deportation of Acadians in 1755, is a few kilometres east of here.

I can be contacted at 902 681 0787 for more information. Or, email me at michaelbarclay@eastlink.ca.

La radio quitte le 211, Gordon à Verdun

PC

... Le vieil 챕difice a d'abord accueilli l'ancienne station CKVL le 3 novembre 1946, fond챕e par l'homme d'affaires Jack Tietolman, qui y a travaill챕 jusqu'en 1995. Au d챕but des ann챕es 50, M.Tietolman y implantait une nouvelle station, CKVL-FM, devenue CKOI en 1976.

Les plus grands noms de la radio priv챕e qu챕b챕coise se sont produits dans les studios et au studio-th챕창tre du 211 Gordon. L'immeuble, qui ne r챕pondait plus aux normes de la radio moderne, sera d챕moli sous peu.

The radio leaves the 211, Gordon, Verdun

... The old building initially accomodated old station CKVL on November 3, 1946, founded by the businessman Jack Tietolman, who worked there until 1995. With the beginning of the Fifties, M.Tietolman established a new station, CKVL-FM, become CKOI in 1976. The great names of the Quebecers private radio occurred in the studios and with the studio-theatre of 211 Gordon. The building, which did not meet any more the standards of the modern radio, will be demolished soon.

Acceptance

Acceptance


I cannot change the way I am,
I never really try,
God made me different and unique,
I never ask him why.

If I appear peculiar,
There's nothing I can do,
You must accept me as I am,
As I've accepted you.

God made a casting of each life,
Then threw the Mold away,
Each child is different from the rest,
Unlike as night from day.

So often we will criticize,
The things that others do,
But, do you know, they do not think,
The same as me and you.

So God in all his wisdom,
Who knows us all by name,
He didn't want us to be bored,
That's why we're not the same

Bannantyne School X-mas Play (The Grinch)

Does anyone remember the (Best ever in my opinion) Christmas play "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" from Bannantyne School grade 7 in the early 70's. It featured Kevin Macarthur as the Grinch (I believe Patty Purcell had a small part also) & was directed by the grade 7 teacher Miss Cragg. As a kid in grade 2 or 3, I was so entertained & always had a fond memory of that performance.

 

Earl.

Where was it?

Does anyone remember this playground equipment?
