As the only known Senator from CCHS, and a public servant, this fellow definitely should be included in Who's Who.

I missed the May Reunion Committee meeting because we were in Alberta at the time.  As usual we travelled there by train then we rented a car and drove south to Calgary for a 1 night stay. Arriving there we found the street on which our hotel was located blocked by construction of a new platform for their Tram LRT. After a few missed turns, we found our way into the Hotel garage.
The next day we drove to Banff for a 2 night stay. I worked at the Banff Springs Hotel during the summer of 1960 as a Caddy on their Golf Course. Both the hotel and grounds are still the same though the 'Staff Quarters have improved significently.
On Sunday, we drove to Lake Louise and had breakfast at the Chateau Lake Louise.
Monday morning we drove along deserted highways from Banff to the Icefields highway and the route 11 turnoff for Rocky Mountain House. Not until we were within 50km of the town did we see any traffic but the snow started to fall heavily as we drove. My wife counted 21 deer and a bear along the roadsides.
We spent the day at the hotel in Rocky Mountain House watching the snow fall and wishing that we had winter boots and a scraper for the car.
The weather channel reported that some parts of Alberta received up to 40cm of the stuff. Unusual for May 18th for sure.
The next morning, after scraping the car windows with a scraper borrowed from a waitress in the hotel, we left for Edmonton.
A wrong turn as we neared the city brought us to the West Edmonton Mall where a kind person drew us a map of how to get to our hotel.
With our train home leaving the city at 11:45pm the next day I had to pay for 2 nights accomodation at the hotel.
All in all, it as a great adventure and very much a success!

Just read the May newsletter - nicely done. Good to see the expansion project for the school is now underway. It's long overdue and will certainly help secure and maintain our school's future.

In the Kindergarten photo featured in the newsletter, there is a Donna last name unknown in the back row. I believe her last name was Reese.
Another blank filled in! I really enjoy the newsletter and photos. Great job!

Yes I am planning on going,, I have not done anything concrete in the plans but have been planning to attend for over a year... I would need accomodation fairly close to the school.. I have multiple chemical sensitivities and have a hard time in public places anywhere, allergic to alcohol and perfumes, chemicals etc so need a place, bed and breakfast, motel, something fairly close so if I get a reaction I can go back to my room and recover... Do you have any suggestions? this is the one biggest question mark I have is where would I stay... do you have any ideas. and you can put me on the planning to attend.. I believe Robin Pollitt is planning to attend also.. Many thanks... Penny Hodgson-Dell C'63
Editor's Note: If anyone has an accomodation suggestion for Penny please send her an email Penny
Hey folks, just thought I'd rattle a few cages as a reminder that this time next year, we should all be together once again. I know I will be and I sure hope to see all of you back for another fun time. If I can make it from B.C., surely most of you who are much closer can too.
I believe that a mini reunion for just us 60's seniors is being planned for some time pre reunion.....fantastic!!
Let's get our names on the "Plan to Attend" list asap.
Countdown begins.....365 days left..... Flo Hinks (aka Florence Trudeau) C'60
I didn't go to Chambly Academy. I graduated fromCCHS in 1964. I was there the day Kennedy was shot, writing an exam in the gym. Mr. Templeton didn't tell
us about the tragedy until after the exam was over. Why can't there be any tradition and continuity and history in Canada? In England, where my mother was
born, buildings and names are not as transient as they are here. The church where she was married, the hall where she had her reception, the college in the town,
even the bakery, all kept their names and location.
My wedding reception was at the Aviation Hotel in St. Hubert - this building was torn down years ago.Now my high school has changed names. ....
