Grad Photos
Hi Corey,
I’m curious to know if I can post some grad photos. I have about 80 grad photos of the dinner and dance and boat cruise back in ‘81. I don’t even know some of the people I took photos of but I remember wanting to get everyone so I would not forget that wonderful time! Let me know If I should post the best of the bunch, nothing incriminating will be used I promise.

To the someone from BC …
Hi there! If you’re reading this, you’ve found me. Just to let the other readers in on things, I was contacted by someone from the School Board that another person has asked to have a reunion in June. Because of privacy act laws and such, they are not allowed to give us each others name. This despite the fact I’ve given them specific permission to pass my name along. But it was ok for her to pass on this website. So hopefully, the person from BC who has also attempted to initiate a class reunion is reading this. You may use the contact form at the right to send me an email if you wish. We should talk! I’m hoping we can merge our efforts. And I’m really curious who you are!

Good news and oops
For those of you who are notified when a post is published, I accidently hit publish on something that I was only writing the draft for. But that post has to stay as a draft for a little while longer, as I’m not quite finished filling in the blanks.
But what was it about? Well, I’ll tell you this much. It’s the offical reunion announcement with ticket purchase details. I’ve received permission from the School Board to hold the reunion social in the multipurpose room, so we’re a go! I’m also happy with the number of people we’ve found, and the fairly steady trickle of newly found alumni. I think we’re going to have quite a crowd if we keep the effort up to find people.
After I fill in some blanks, the official announcement will be put up.

We’re finding people!
The efforts everyone is making to find people is slowly, but surely paying off. We’ve found over 40 people now. If we can keep this pace up, we’ll have a mighty decent turn out. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has made a phone call, or sent an email, or has done some googling. The list is growing!

Is this our Randy Dutiaume?
Seems one of our alumni has gotten to be quite a curler. It looks like him, but I haven’t seen him since 1981. Can someone confirm if this is our Randy?

We won’t all be there …
I didn’t expect this. Not sure why. Barb Butler from class of 83 has told me of the passing of Dean Wakshinski from the class of 81. I’ve created an In Memoriam page and copied his obituary there. I’m left with a strange feeling. A kind of sad I’ve not felt before. I have to assume it’s because of the context of planning the reunion. Although I knew Dean, we didn’t hang out or anything like that. I wasn’t close to him. For those who were close to him, you have my condolences.
I’ve made a list of the unfoundlings
We have a lot of people to find. Since I’m from 1981, I’ve made a full list of everyone from that year. I made it by referring to my yearbook, and by the program from graduation. I hope everyone will cruise the list and see if there are some people they can try to find. If you want to pick the easiest ones, go for the men with unusual surnames. You’ll likely find them or a close relative. If you want to go for the hard ones, look for women with common surnames.
You can view the list by clicking Missing Daniel Alumni on the right.
If you aren’t from 1981, and would like to see your class as well, please email your class list. (yes, that means typing!) I’ll integrate it into my database.
Helpful links to find people.
411.ca - you can search for people across Canada.
google.ca - yes, you’d be surprised what typing a person’s full name in quotes might turn up. For instance, I was apparently in jail for 9 years in BC for a crime I was ultimately acquitted for! Maybe you need to be careful with what google tells ya!
If someone has other link suggestions, let me know, and I’ll add them here.
