Ray (C-'56) and Kaye (C-'57) Banham live in St. Lambert and have already committed to staying away from their country cottage to attend Reunion 2010 next May. Ray is seen here with their 3-year old grandson Christopher inspecting a carp, which will go back into the lake for Chris to catch on another day.
(Individual and family photos are most welcome for both the monthly Newsletter, and to be added to the Alumni Photo Galleries).
At the moment we are looking for a photo circa 1958 or 1959 of the RCAF blue bus (Western Flyer, 50 passenger) like the one that would bring students from St. Hubert Air Base to CCHS. We need this for an upcoming Flashback article. |

| Are you coming to Reunion 2010, people want to know ? |
Alumni who might be interested in driving their antique cars to Reunion 2010 are asked to contact Larry Llewellyn. The tentative plan would be to meet somewhere on the Friday afternoon and proceed on the designated route for the Alumni Parade along Green Street to the school. If we get 20~30 cars this would be a good kick-start and have the community involved.
Of course I would be the lead car 1977 TR7.. just joking...
When you register for the reunion it will be indicated on your class page so your classmates will know you are going.

Class Contacts |
At the Reunion Committee meeting held on Tuesday, September 15th, it was discussed and proposed that we appoint Angus Cross as board member responsible for class contacts. Angus is retired, with time available, and fulfilled this role for the 2005 reunion. Daniel Thompson, the previous co-ordinator was unable to fulfill the duties due to the pressure of a new employment position. -
Class Contacts are still needed for the following years:
1963, 1966,1967, 1968 1974, 1983, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999: and Chambly Academy 2000 to 2009:

Pine Avenue 
by
Carolyn MacDonald (Vance), Class of 1958
There is the wise proverb that says," It takes a village to raise a child".
That African saying could well have been penned by St. Lambert residents, and more specifically by those who lived on Pine Avenue, between Green and L'Esperance Streets - My "Village" , during the years of 1945 to '55.
How secure we felt! Our parents appreciated that should one of us go astray (during a brief moment when mother's watchful eye may have looked elsewhere) that another mother would step in, and give the needful, warning word! There was no resentment, or feeling of intrusion. Rather an unwritten agreement prevailed, that "neighbours looked out for each other."

MY LIVING WILL
Last night, my wife and I were sitting in the living room and I said to her, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.'
She got up, unplugged the Computer, and threw out my scotch.
