Winter has arrived
For those not living in Manitoba right now, I thought I’d give you a little weather report. We had snow overnight, and it’s still snowing. 10 cm already, with another 10 cm coming. I’m sharing a couple of pictures from the view outside my front door. Does that white stuff bring back memories!
Apologies to those people still living here, as I’ve just reminded you that it’s time to get out the shovel.

Guess who (round two)
From 10 thousand miles away. (Or likely more). This lucky alumnus is standing on a bridge in Japan. Who is she?
OK, our mystery person was kind of enough to send a larger version of the photo. So what do you think now? It’s not Mrs. Getschel!
Update: As of October 19th, 10:30am, no one has guessed. I might have to classify this one as an unsolved mystery! I’m giving away one blatant clue now. Hair colour. Check your yearbooks!

Guess who this is? (round one)
Call this a trivia question if you like. I thought it would be fun to post a pic of someone now, and see if you can guess who it is. Just hit the comment link underneath to give us your two cents.
And if you want to send me your photo for this game, I’ll do ya too!

Remember O.T.
![]()
He was never Mr. Anderson to me. He was O.T. I saw this picture in the hallway at Daniel when I was there for a meeting recently. It shows that after we left, he became Vice Principal for quite a few years. I was informed that O.T. is no longer with us.
O.T. always had a kind of sardonic grin on his face. An anecdote that might sum up his character was the time a classmate asked him why he had the little tuft of hair under his bottom lip. He pointed at it and said “You see that? All the smartest guys in the world have one just like it.”

What I look(ed) like!
OK, I’m showing how brave I am. My goobery high school yearbook photo is now on every post I make. I’m also posting one of me now. Differences, yes. For one, I’m bigger, hairier (not just on the face), and apparently much more colourful. I think the basswood tree behind me can take credit for the green part.
How I look now:
