June Dinner

On Monday, June 14 a growing number of Feildians met at Bob Noseworthy's Wendy's for our monthly get together. New faces appeared such as Dr. Ralph Butler, Keith Garland, Bill Abraham and Paul Facey. It was wonderful to see those boys and would like to see more. If I have forgotten anyone new who came I am sorry. I hope that all of you who read this blog will try to get someone new to come along.

Gerry Russell brought along a picture of the 1954-55 football team. Thanks Gerry. I took it and got some copies made for the boys who asked me.

Our next meeting will be held on Monday, July 26 and I am hoping to have it in the school. I am trying to work out the details with Ms. Puddester, the principal. Spread the word.

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.
