Comments:

I moved from Saskatoon directly after graduating and spent four years living in Toronto, and about a year touring North America with a folk-dance troupe.  After another year, which I spent living in New York City, I returned to Saskatoon to attend the U of S.  I married, had three children, Hudson, Bailey and Brienne, and studied psychology.  After completing my Master's degree, I worked in a school division just outside of Saskatoon for a number of years.  I have since moved to Regina, where I am a Regional Superintendent of Children's Services for the provincial government in the Ministry of Education.

During the development of the College of Psychologists in Saskatchewan, I participated by serving on the first Executive Council as President Elect, and then President.  I represented Saskatchewan in negotiating the Mutual Recognition Agreement  which  allows registered psychologists to have professional mobility across Canada.   After my term, I represented the College of Psychologists in the U of S Senate for about 4 years. 

I'm much lazier now, although I am a daily  patron at the Regina  Field House,  except Fridays when I make a point of meeting friends over a glass of wine.  I'm far too bossy to be married, and so have been divorced for over 20 years.

I'm looking forward to the reunion,  seeing old friends (who are you calling "old"?!), and catching up on life events of people who I grew up with at Bowman.

Hello everyone,
Can it be 25 years since I last entered the hallowed halls of Aden Bowman? My middle son was a newborn in 1983 - now married and over 6 feet tall, so I guess it is possible.

I left Bowman to attend the U of S. taking a year mid-degree to get a one year certificate in Biblical Studies from Providence Bible College south of Winnipeg (one of the coldest winters of my life!)

I returned to the U of S to finish my Honours English degree in 1977, and married my husband, Cyril Anderst, in November of that same year.

Since then, we have raised three fine sons, married two of them off, and have our "bonus" baby, David, still at home (grade 8).

We farm very close to the Alberta/SK border, just northeast of Medicine Hat. I have been an E.A. at our community school for 15 years, give or take a few for maternity leave! My two years as co-editor of the Aden Archer gave good training for eight years as yearbook advisor in our school.

We have fought a long and unfortunately, losing, battle to save our small school from the "economies of scale."

My attendance at the reunion will depend entirely upon the weather and the state of the crop, but I am certainly hoping that we can make at least one day.

Best wishes to the class of '72 and all my other acquaintances.

Looking forward to seeing and visiting with a number of the 68' grads and others, younger and older. 
I have a great family and have had an enjoyable, and sometimes varied, career. We have 3 kids (2 girls and a boy - now 36, 33 & 31, respectively) and 4 terrific grandsons (8, 5, 5 and 1). 
For most of my career I have been a graphic artist/designer - I started with CFQC TV working there for 8 years and was Art Director six of those years. We moved to Regina in 1980 when I joined Saskatchewan Wheat Pool's Corporate Communications Division. After 21 years of doing graphics, photography and producing training videos, commercials and advertising, I was downsized out and then spent a year in our Rail Logistics area and then a year in the Credit Department before deciding to take an early retirement and start up my own graphic design company. I did freelance work for about 3 years and at the same time picked up some additional work like acting in a number of documentaries - 'Crime Stories' & 'Disasters of the Century' - produced by Partners in Motion; some handyman/home renos; and, was a temporary maintenance man at the Delta hotel for 6 months. I worked full time for one of my clients, FarmPure Seeds, for a year and half in their marketing department before just recently going back to the Pool (now Viterra) and working in Rail Logistcs, again. Funny how things happen sometimes - I really didn't see this one coming - never thought I would be back there but I look forward to the challenges and rewards that life keeps throwing my way.
See you in August!

Rita, who I met at 13 and my two daughters have lived in Yellowknife since 1976. I've held a number of different jobs in the Controllership area and am currently working for 2 more yrs. with the NWT Power Corporation before retiring and moving to Humboldt.  From there our plans are to spend the winters where we can practice our Spanish, maybe Bucerias, Mx. Over the years I have been involved with airlines, hospitality service, government, publishing and community service work.  For the last 7 years I have been in frequent contact with all members of the Class of '67 with an email address and I am looking forward to seeing you all once again.  Now at middle age, I can operate a computer, have my own digital camera, have all my '60s songs on my iPod and am learning to navigate through Facebook.  Who would have believed sitting in Miss Strobel's typing class would have been such a life long benefit to all of us!

And what have you been up to?

Hi All!

Pebs sent me the link so I was cruising around the site, and even though can't make the reunion, thought I'd drop a bio.

A lot has happened since 1973. Married, 1 daughter (now 27) and a beutiful grandaughter (4).

After graduating and working in various capacities for a few years, I then worked for over 20 years for Ridsdale Transport Ltd, before spreading my wings and buying Turtle Lake Lodge, where I now reside. Gary and I still work together in a small oil company near Kindersly he, I, and some others own. Drivers / Operations / Safety management mostly. Gary runs the show! Les (wife) nee Mones and I live here at the lake and look after the all season resort. Do a bit of land development / subdivision and selling some lake property. Always been an avid hunter, and archery hunt when ever I get time. The hunting and northern living, as well as contact with American hunting communities prompted my most recent project of running netcams in the wilds of the forest, and am developing a market for wildlife viewing on the internet. If you take a look at www.wildcam.ca you'll see a live feed from near my home. New site design and additional "live" feeds coming soon.

Hope your reunion turns out to be a big success (which I'm sure it will) and all the best to one and all!

Sorry!  no "Then" pic.

Comments:
Where have the past forty years gone?  Life is a journey and like most journeys the years since high school have had their share of experiences, changes, challenges and joys.  What follows is a brief recounting of Linda's (Linda Forsyth - 1969) and my "great adventure".

Following graduation I attended the U. of S. for three years (Arts & Science/ Education) while Linda did a two year programme (Recreation Technology) at SIASS here in Saskatoon.  

We were married in June of 1971 and moved to Melfort, SK where I taught Junior High Social Studies and Language Arts and Linda worked in the Recreation field.  We were in Melfort until 1976 and both of our children (Jennifer - 1973 and Nathan - 1976) were born there.

In 1976 we decided a change of careers was in order and we moved to Kansas City, Missouri where I attended seminary, graduating with a Master of Divinity degree in 1979.  We spent the next 25+ years serving churches in Wainiwright, AB; Winnipeg, MB; Red Deer, AB; Manchester, United Kingdom; and finally back in Saskatoon.  While in Manchester I completed an MA in Theology from the University of Manchester.

In 2005 I left pastoral ministry and took my Chaplaincy training at St. Paul's Hospital.  Since May of 2005 I have been working for the Spiritual Care Department of the Saskatoon Health Region, and currently serve as a non-denominational, multi-faith chaplain at Royal University Hospital.  

Linda has worked in a number of community/recreation positions over the years including instructing recreational gymnastics, teaching arts and crafts, serving a number of years as a Community School Coordinator in Red Deer and as a community worker and community centre director while we lived in England.  Currently she is the Recreation Coordinator at McClure Place - a Senior's housing complex here in Saskatoon.

Our children are both married and live in the Calgary area.  Our daughter has two lovely little girls - our first grandchildren, who are the delight of our lives.

Life has been good to us and we continue to enjoy a bit of golf, a bit of travelling and just being together!

I moved to Brandon after graduating in 1968 and married my (still) husband Bill in 1969. Through Bill's work (newspapers - lastly as the Editor-in-Chief of the Winnipeg Sun) we have lived variously in Brandon, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary and now back in Winnipeg. I spent a year or so as a real estate agent after having our son Jason and worked at both the Brandon and Winnipeg Real Estate Boards. The next few years I stayed in the real estate biz doing residential and commercial property management. For the next 16 years I was a  paralegal doing corporate/commercial law in Calgary and then medical malpractice and insurance law after returning to Winnipeg. I retired in  February 2006 following a total knee replacement and my husband followed shortly after. We've spent the last couple of years traveling (Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, East Coast, West Coast, and various spots in between) and hope to do more. Our son and his wife are expecting their first baby on March 1, 2008 so we're looking forward to that. Yahoo - grandparents at last!!!!!
