Old Feildian Passes

Those of you in the class of '53 might remember your classmate Les Bignell. Roy Saunders emailed me with notice of his passing. He died August 3 in Oakville, Ontario. When you read this if you have other information on Les please let me know. I would like to send a card to his family from us.

Here you see the Grade XI class of 1952-53 and Les is in the second row third from the left.

 Feildians Meet For Lunch

Over the past two years Bishop Feild College boys have been gathering once a month for a lunch. We have been to a number of St. John's restaurants usually the last Monday in the month. We started out quite small with about 12 or 14 boys. As the months went by each of the boys contacted a classmate or friend who went to the old school and asked them to come along. Now we have about 40 boys who come regularly to our lunches. Below is a picture of one of our lunches. I have tried to name all the boys. I am sure if I have left out any I will get an email.
