    Message: Feb.19/02 Had a small and unofficial reunion with some long lost (30-ish years !!) school chums, and they told me about this site. Wow. Who knew? Memory lane is an interesting walk and this site has jogged long forgotten names back into my brain. After several years in Calgary, and several more in various other places, I now live in Niagara since I have been working there as an actor in The Shaw Festival Ensemble for the last 6 years.

    Message: May 24,2002 Hey Everyone! It's been forever. Spent alot of years moving around trying to decide what I was going to be when I grew up. I live in Saskatoon with my husband Gene,I'm mom to 2 grown kids and a grandbaby. Haven't been back to Thompson for years, but it's still home in many ways. I'm now the Director of a Woman's Halfway House for provincial and federal offenders. I have been working in this field for about 15 years. Thinking back,I'm amazed I didn't end up in my own facility. Who woulda thunk it! Would love contact with anyone from the "old days". Looking forward to the reunion in July. See you there!

    Message: What a fun web site. It is fun to read about people all these years later and try to remember who everyone is. I didn't graduate from R.D.P.C. but I went there for grades 7,8, and 9. And lived in Thompson for 14 years total. I now live in Copper Cliff, Ontario and have 2 beautiful children, 10 year old son and 7 year old daughter, who keep me very busy. My brother Bernie and I run a nightclub in Sudbury called the Towne House Tavern. We bring in bands from all over Canada. I would love to hear from some of the old gang I knew way back when.

    Message: Great web-site! Who could have imagined that the old phone connection to Winnipeg, and boxes of PUNCH CARDS would eventually lead to this? It sure doesn't seem like 20 years since graduation... It's nice to see that the band program is alive and well, music was one thing that kept me going (& still does).

I now reside in Alberta close to Red Deer. My oldest daughter is in Sylvan Lake and has given me two beautiful granddaughters. My youngest daughter lives in Winnipeg.

    Message: Apr 29/02 Well I see a quarter century reunion is in the works. Yikes! Unfortunately I will not be in Manitoba until the latter part of July otherwise I'd be there. I've been in Calgary since '88 and haven't been to Thompson in several years. I hear they named a street after us though. How's about one of you Thompson lifers go take a digital photo of Hambley Road and send it to me. That would be cool. You guys have a great reunion and take lots of pics to post.

    Message: Dear Graduates of 1977, It is really nice to read all the comments from the grads of 1977. It certainly doesn't seem like 25 years since we graduated but times does sneak up on us. My husband Grant and I have lived in Devon, Alberta since 1979 and we have 4 kids, Greg 21, Teri 19, Devin 17 and Sean 15. Our oldest son will graduate next year with his Chemical Engineering Degree, our daughter Teri is a Dental Assistant and working for a specialist in the city of Edmonton and our two youngest sons attend high school.

    Message: Hello, this is a great web site. It's so neat to see so many familiar names and catch up on what people are up to. I was in Thompson in June/98 for the first time in 14 years to see my niece graduate from RDPC. It was good to see so many familiar faces around RDPC and the City, it sure brought back allot of memories. To see principal Glen Ansine reminded me of one of my most enjoyable classes while at RDPC, American History, (remember American History, he can make it interesting like no one else could). I'm a Business Manager here in Saskatoon. My wife and I have been here 10 years now and we have four children. It would be great to hear from some old (as in former) classmates.

I really missed not graduating in Thompson with old friends so hopefully there will be a large turn out in July.
