Bishop Feild Diary 1844 Published

Feildians, have you read the latest publication of Dr. Ron Rompkey, old Feildian? Ron has published the diary of our esteemed founder Bishop Edward Feild. I bought it at Chapters the night that Ron launched it. Although short, just over 100 pages, it provides an insight into Bishop Feild's struggles to resurrect The Church of England in Newfoundland. He was a determined man and against many obstacles built churches and schools throughout the island and Labrador. I encourage all Feildians to read it and thus get a better feel for the man who founded the school that we remember so fondly. It is my hope that Ron will continue his work on Feild and give us as complete a picture of the man as possible.

Boys, do not forget the lunch this Monday, February 28, 12:00 PM, at Wendy's, Torbay Road. See you there.
