Back Home

Hi fellas.

My wife and I had a great time in Florida and are now back home. While I was a way there was a service for our dear teacher Mrs. Abraham at The Cathedral. I was so sorry to have missed that but a kind friend of mine who attended brought the order of the service and dropped it off to the house. I hope that some of you attended to see her off. She was quite a woman and only in my adult years did I really understand that. It was the same with Eric Caines, my grade seven teacher. We had a nickname for him "Pop" when he taught us. He was a fine teacher who gave us the very best instruction especially in Mathematics. He was a gentleman and later when I started teaching he gave me lots of good advice.

I hope all of you are well. Any thoughts for a fall dinner somewhere??? Let me know of any ideas.

Away and Other Things

Boys, the 165th. Feildian Gala takes place tonight in the old auditorium beginning around 7:00 PM. If you haven't got a ticket now, good luck. The school staff and committee have worked very hard in preparing for this event. Unfortunately I have other commitments that I cannot shirk and will be unable to be there tonight. If any of you go please bring your cameras and send pictures to me peter.chalker@gmail.com.

I will be out of the province for the next two weeks.

Art Godden

Boys, thank you for your kind remembrances of Herb. Bill, thank you for your memories of Herb. Many of the boys have said how kind he was and how he always had a humorous quip.
