How we are building our class list
There is a special database that is being filled up with people as we find them. For the most part, we prefer to put an email address into it. This is so when the reunion details are finalized, we can easily email everyone the information. If an email isn’t available, an address and phone number are also useful.
The list is only updated when we actually receive contact from someone. When a person posts a comment on the site, or they sign up, they are added to the database. A person could also use the Contact the site admin link on the right to send us information.
If you know someone who doesn’t have access to email or a computer, and you can give us their phone number, we’ll call them to confirm their contact info. Any information you give about someone should be done privately, so it’s recommend you use the Contact the site admin link to do it.

Ken Beal said,
December 10, 2005 at 10:49 pm
Thanks Corey for the email. I was very happy to hear from you. I look forward to seeing old friends. Wouldn’t miss the reunion for anything. Great to see the comments. Hi to everyone! Who doesn’t remember Clare?
Corey said,
December 11, 2005 at 9:24 am
Glad you received it. If I recall, I had to get creative with yours, since it was an older sympatico email that I found. I thought it didn’t work. But it did!
Ken Beal said,
December 11, 2005 at 10:22 am
Corey,
That was smart thinking to try sasktel.net. Is dmci-dood Tim Martinuk?
Corey said,
December 12, 2005 at 9:25 pm
dmci_dood hasn’t coughed up who he is yet. Tim is as good a guess as any!
barbaro said,
December 13, 2005 at 9:47 am
Ken , I haven’t seen you since i fell asleep on you couch before the labour day game in Regina….How you doing ?
Tony
dmci_dood said,
December 13, 2005 at 12:48 pm
Is Tim Martinuk the guy who was in the Canadian Armed Forces? That’s definitely not me…though I think he was in our electronics class.
Ken Beal said,
December 13, 2005 at 11:55 pm
Hey Tony. That was a fun weekend. Do you remember my drunk brother Bert Beal ? How many people did we cram into my car that night.Who do you still see from the old gang . I’m doing fine . How about you ? It would be great to see everyone again. Ken

Ken Beal said,
December 30, 2005 at 11:27 am
Tony. I’m still with Old Dutch. In May I’ll have worked for them ,here in Regina, for 24 years.We haven’t been to too many Rider games in the last few years. The Labour day game is always fun, especially when you wild Peggers show up. My old car was a 79 Lebaron. My car in highschool was a 1970 Ford XL. That was my own version of the big green monster. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. Talk to you in 06
Pamela81 said,
December 31, 2005 at 2:52 am
Hey Ken,
Did you have hair that was sort of curly and brown because that is the picture that keeps coming up in my mind.
Tony Barbaro said,
January 6, 2006 at 3:02 pm
Maria Rusiecki…………..Why does that name ring a bell.
Do you still live in Winnipeg ?
tony
Corey said,
January 6, 2006 at 7:14 pm
She was in my Grade 11 history. I remember corn rows one day!
Maria said,
January 8, 2006 at 5:08 pm
Hi Tony,
The name should ring a bell because we’ve known each since Sparling.
I live in Michigan with my hubby and 4 kids
Bea Barnard (81) said,
January 9, 2006 at 10:41 pm
Hi Maria,
Michigan huh? It’s great to see you on this site. I have some old class pictures from Sparling from Kindergarten up. You and Tony are in almost all of them. I have some distinct memories of cat costumes and trick or treating at Halloween with you and also some of the best birthday parties were at your house. Hope you are well. Are you planning on coming to the reunion? It would be good to see some familiar faces. Take care.
Bea
dmci_dood said,
January 10, 2006 at 11:17 am
Wow…now that someone has mentioned Principal Sparling, I remember Tony Barbaro. I think we were in kindergarten together and grade 1 and 2 in Ms. Bock’s class.
barbaro said,
January 10, 2006 at 9:42 pm
Who’s DMCI dood ?
barbaro said,
January 10, 2006 at 9:45 pm
M A R I A….How could i forget you……I can still taste the Strawberry Shortcake your mom used to make… I go to Michigan every year in August for Nascar. Where in Michigan do you live ?
barbaro said,
January 10, 2006 at 9:47 pm
Bea , you got any pictures of me ? I have the same pictures of you & Maria i’m sure…
Maria said,
January 11, 2006 at 10:23 am

Amy Igonia said,
January 11, 2006 at 12:06 pm
It is nice to read all of the comments.
The reunion seems to be exciting and nice to see your highschool classmates again. I do not know if anybody remembers me but Ken we used to be in Computer Science class together.
Hope everybody is good and wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!
I live in Vancouver right now and been working with a freight forwarder for the last 23 years of my life….
Ciao,
Amy
Tony Barbaro said,
January 11, 2006 at 1:18 pm
Maria , I stay in Romulus whenever i go to the race. The track is about 45 minutes west from there on US 12. What brought you to Michigan. do you come back to Wpg often ?
Tony
Corey said,
January 11, 2006 at 6:26 pm
Amy,
Now that you mention computer science class, I think you might have been in your class too. I think Ken was in it as well.
Corey
barbaro said,
January 12, 2006 at 1:15 am
Who’s DMCI Dood ? This “Dude ” have a name ?
dmci_dood said,
January 12, 2006 at 11:51 am
Tony,
Do you recall, in kindergarten or maybe grade 1, when some kid got mad at you for constantly bugging him? That kid got so mad that he turned around and ripped off the pocket from your shirt? This was right after recess and we were all waiting in line to get back into school.
Tony Barbaro said,
January 12, 2006 at 1:11 pm
I cant recall the shirt incident. Man , what a memory……
Ken Beal said,
January 12, 2006 at 5:45 pm
Hey Corey. Pam was wondering what I look like. How would I go about putting my picture on this site. I would like to use my grade 11 picture as that was my favourite.
Hello Amelia, how are you. I remember you and Mrs. Mills class. Do you remember who else was in our class. I remember Corey, Edwin Kwong, Edmond Chow and I think there was someone named Brian but I can’t recall who else was in there.
Corey said,
January 13, 2006 at 12:51 pm
Ken,
I’m not sure if my Grade 11 yearbook survived. (A flooded basement incident). I’ll check. If I have it, I’ll post it for you. Or, you can do it yourself in the headshot tab, which will attach a picture to your profile. Your profile pic shows up in a post you make, or on your profile page, which can be seen by clicking your name. Here’s my profile as an example. (http://dmcireunion.com/courtyard/?author=2). I’ll let you know if I can’t find your pic.
UPDATE: I found my grade 11 yearbook. I’ll post your pic soon.
UPDATE2: I’ve added your pic to your profile. Anyone can view it here > http://dmcireunion.com/courtyard/?author=31
Pamela81 said,
January 13, 2006 at 7:40 pm
Hey Ken, Just saw ur pic and it may have been i long time since I last saw you which was at grad but I remember u now.
Amy Igonia said,
January 13, 2006 at 8:16 pm
Hi Ken,
Yes, this is a good picture of you when we were Grade 11.
I am in most of the classes and I remember most of you all but I do not hang around much in school at that time. I go home after school. But I have changed now….
I have the Grade 12 yearbook. I will check it later on as I have to go to my bowling league right now. Bowling and Golf is my sport here in Vancouver.
Ciao for now….
Amy
Ken Beal said,
January 13, 2006 at 8:44 pm
Thanks Corey . Has any body heard from Bill Hrycak,John Kowal or SteveYurkiw ? Does anybody remember the fight scene that was filmed in the hall that got just a little to real ? I remember laughing uncontrollably while we watched the video over and over again. Who was in this fight scene and who punched who ?
barbaro said,
January 14, 2006 at 8:49 am
Ken , I saw your picture too….who’s the man ? Yeah i know , you are..LoL.
Tony
Corey said,
January 14, 2006 at 10:49 am
I tried contacting Stephen Yurkiw. I think I might have found him, but he hasn’t responded. John Kowal was in Minneapolis, and is apparently now back in Manitoba, but I haven’t found him. I haven’t tried to look for Bill Hrycak yet.
I don’t remember ‘the fight scene’ much. I didn’t watch the making of it, and never saw the results. It would be cool to find that for the reunion. Who was heading up that?
Ken Beal said,
January 19, 2006 at 5:48 pm
Hey Tony , could you give Tracy Pheifer (Magner) a call and ask her to join us on this site . We had a good group of friends and hopefully she can make some contacts for us . I would love to see everyone again.
barbaro said,
January 19, 2006 at 10:57 pm
I’ll try to look for her numbers. Its been a while since she has been on this site…
Corey said,
January 20, 2006 at 12:16 am
I didn’t realise Tracy Pheifer was Magner. Thanks for that!
Although the email addresses aren’t made public (for privacy reasons), I can certainly email her to tell her her presence has been requested. In fact, consider that done.
barbaro said,
January 20, 2006 at 10:39 pm
Go ahead Corey…
Tracy Pheifer said,
January 22, 2006 at 12:12 am
Hi Ken, Boy it sure has been a long time. We still keep all our chips in the freezer, a great tip. I’ve talked to Dan Boulet, Rick Etsell, Ron Kalupar, Lisa Q , Karen,( Laureen and Rhonda although they graduated in 82 they always say DMCI wasn’t as good after the class of 81 graduated, So they will probably be at the reunion as long as no one objects.
Hi Lily sorry it took me so long to get back I haven’t been on line to check thanks Cory for the email. Anyway Lily, Things here are great. John and I have three kids a girl and two boys. I can’nt wait until the reunuon.

Corey said,

Hi Tracy
It sure has been a long time.Thanks for calling everyone. I’m really looking forward to the reunion and was worried that it might not happen.With you on board it should really take off now.How old are your kids? I imagine they keep you busy and out of trouble.What do you guys do for fun?Do you still see some of the gang from DMCI ? Has anyone talked to Sheldon ,Mike B,Mike K,Frank Both,Diana K or Ken Ranson lately ?
Bye for now,Ken.
Tracy Pheifer said,
January 26, 2006 at 5:22 pm
Hi Ken
I was on the phone all night last night. The good thing is 12 more people know about the reunion. We were just out with Diana this past December, she said she would like to go,but I’ll remind her. As far as the rest of the guys I’m planning on calling them all in the next few days.

John and I both golf, and still do a lot of camping, not to active in the winter. We are all going to the Nickelback concert this Saturday. Do you get to Winnipeg much?I hope afer this reunion we keep in touch!

Hi Tracy
Yes , I am married with children . My wife is Wanda (from Regina). We have two boys Brett (21) and Marc(17). We also love to go to the lake in the summer .The last time I was in Wpg was Sept ,2003 for my sister-in-laws funeral. I have only been back a few times for weddings and funerals.I did get to see Sheldon once 3 or 4 years ago and visited his mom before she passed away.

Thanks to Tracy Pheifer, Luis Tome and Tony Barbaro for letting me know about this reunion. I’m old, fat and bald now, with 2 kids, Kevin 16 and Michelle 14. Hope the reunion is a go, my wife Sharon of 20 years and I look forward to attending. Hey Ken Beal, was it you who used to play “Ooh What a Night” in the library all the time when I walked in?
And who could forget “Claires summer cottage” hi Claire. Talk to you all later and thanks to the organizers
Dan Boulet
