Bishop Feild Boys at Bannerman Park

Grade 3 BFC Bannerman Park/Feildian Grounds 1952

From time to time I am given a photograph of a class at BFC. About a year or so ago Bill Goodyear gave the one below of his Grade 3 class with most of the young lads named. I post it here for your enjoyment. Unfortunately, I cannot be sure of all the names and the places in the picture, so have a look. Let me know if I have made a mistake.

At this lunch we had a guest speaker, Dr. John Hewson, who taught at BFC in the 50's. He gave a talk about his memories of Feild and how he came to teach there. We had many a good laugh at the memories he stirred up and it was my honour to introduce him and thank him for attending. 

Dick Cook had a card that we will send to Bob Cole in commemoration of his appointment to The Order of Canada.

See you at the next lunch!!
