With Many Thanks, We a Happy to Publish these Many Emails of Appreciation
|
I'm pretty sure I speak for the class of '87 when I say we all had
a great time. We were the last ones out of the Sports Centre Saturday
night if that's any indication. :) Once again we just wanted to send kudos for a job well done. We are leaving tomorrow for the west for 2 months, but when we return, if you like we can send some of the photos we took of the reunion. Please let me know if you are interested to post these to the website. Cheers, Suzie & Brian Hennessy To those hundreds (it must have been) who worked so hard and so long
to create such a memorable weekend, Many thanks to all of the organizers and volunteers. Thanks for a super weekend. My husband who is from BCI (we won't hold
that against him) had just as much fun as I did. Congratulations for
a huge job well done. Just wish it could happen again before 25 years.
I don't know if I will be able to get around with my walker but I suppose
there will be a lot like me so the committee then will have to arrange
walker and wheel chair parking and there will have to be wider aisles
at the banquet! Just Kidding. Just wanted to send a quick email to say Thank you for a job well done. The weekend activities were well planned – the festivities were great. (so was the weather…what a bonus) So much work went in to this, and all the volunteers deserve a huge thank you. Sincerely,
User Services Officer Client Services Belleville, ITC 613 969-3487 debi.nelson@sdc-dsc.gc.ca It was a great reunion. Met and talked with over 60 co-students and teachers - most I had not seen for over 40 years. A special thanks to all the volunteers. You should be quite proud of what you achieved. Dave DeClerq (class of 61) To All Volunteers Conventional wisdom says "You Can Never Go Home Again" and
I generally believe within the context intended, it is a truism. However,
the reunion week-end definitely proved to be the exception to the rule.
I had the opportunity to see and talk with over 60 old friends and acquaintances
plus several of my favorite teachers from over 40 years ago. With the
exception I would like to thank all those that made this week-end possible - event organizers, theme room helpers and the countless others that put their efforts in to making this a truly memorable week-end. I even ran the Harrier (not walk/jog as I did as a student) in much better time than I ever did as a student. That says more about my conditioning back then than now! A small suggestion for your "alumni" website - I noted in our 50s theme room (115) there was a sheet that initially listed 7 or 8 former students that had passed away. That sheet expanded to three sheets before the week-end was over as names were added that others were aware of that had passed on. Perhaps an in-memory page might be a suitable addition? Once again "well done" Dave DeClerq Dear Committee Members: Denis and Geneva Newman (Geneva - Class of '59 and former Hi everyone involved in the Reunion. Really sorry I couldn't attend more than I did. But I took my daughter Sunday morning and did a little tour and saw a few people. It looked well-organized and everyone seemed to be pleased. Was glad to see that you are going to continue the site. One suggestion might be to add the memorial list that was in the classrooms so that people know who has died. Was surprised by some of the deaths and people might be interested to know. Maybe the memory boards as well. We could have some fun with the site. JannaColton(Munkittrick)
A JOB WELL DONE!!!!!! Thank you to all the reunion committee for all of your hard work. It
was a great time and I know many people who thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
I am looking forward to the 75th already and will do my best to help
with that reunion!!!!! Congratulations to you and the entire reunion commitee for a successful
weekend! I had fun. Jeremy Tyrrell Hi there,
I just wanted to take the time to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation for all the work that went into this weekend’s reunion. I know how much goes into organizing and planning such an event. I commend all the volunteers and all those that worked behind the scenes on making the reunion run smoothly. I personally had a fantastic time and will have very fond memories of this weekend for a very long time. Thanks again, Maureen Stocker Class of 1982 Hi there... Thanks Many thanks to all the organizers and volunteers of the reunion this weekend. I had a great time , only wish more former classmates had come. It takes a lot of time and effort to put something of this size together . Great job. Patti (Wilson) Carter , Etobicoke, Ontario. Just a note to thank all the organisers and committee members for a
job well done! It was a lot of fun and great to see so many people and
the school again. Looking forward to the 75th! When I registered for the Reunion on Friday, 04 June, 2004, I mentioned
on the registration form that I did not desire to be a part of the Alumni
Association. Since my attendance at the Reunion on Saturday, 05 June,
2004, I have changed my mind in such a way that I wish to become a member
of the Alumni Association. A very big thank you to all the organising committee members. Well, done. I had a wonderful time it was beyond my wildest expectations. Betty Graham Just want to thank all of you again for all your hard work to put together this reunion. We all owe you “big time”. It was an amazing weekend. I had a fantastic time and so did everyone I talked to. We have made a pledge to not let another 25 years go by before we get together again and , hopefully, we will follow through with it. Give yourself a big pat on the back!! Wendy Ward Class of 75 Great job folks ! We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone responsible for
the events of last week end. You did a wonderful job. We had such a
good time and thoroughly enjoyed getting reacquainted with "old"
friends. We hated to see the w/e end and have now packed away a few
more good memories. We were also happy to hear that you plan to continue
with an Many Thanks. Al Chambers and Linda (Waters) Chambers -class of 1967. Ann, please pass on my thanks to everyone who made the reunion such
a wonderful experience. It was a job well done!! It was great seeing
so many friends and mentors from a most special time of our lives. The
reunion was so much fun! THANKS AGAIN!!! Hello Quinte Reunion Committee. Now that I have finally stopped dreaming about the glorious years of
1963-68, it is time to say thank you for the wonderful reunion. My brother
Dave and sister Betty Graham and I all had a super time. As many others
have said, it was really far beyond what I expected. It was great to
see so many old friends and to make plans to renew those friendships. Nancy DeClerq Just a small note to let you know what a fantastic job you and your
troups accomplished over the weekend. It was so very good to see people
that I have't seen in over 30 years.Some I didn't even recognize at
first but looking around at the number of people trying to glance at
name tags it wasn't just me. Sat. night was a real blast. Met more people
there I had't seen early as well we were all entertained by the elderly
lady who got to dance at the first song and put on quite a show. Congradulations
to her. I just I hope the rest of us are still that active as we hit
the upper years. I only wish the reunion could have been longer so I
could have visited friends a little longer and I missed some all together.
Ther was a lot of addresses exchanged as well as e-mails. I got most
off the websight but a couple I failed to get were Eric Benn or Janna
(King) Keeling if any could share, thanks. I am at steve195292@hotmail.com.
Again the organizers should all give yourselves a big pat on the back
for a job well done. Steve Nash 72
Thanks Deb & I would like to thank Mary & all the people who helped
put together this fabulous reunion weekend. It was great to see old
friends & re-hash some of the good times we had at Q.S.S. Just a thank you to all involved with the 50th reunion. Gwen and I
had a blast. We danced, sang and "remembered when" until we
were hoarse. This opportunity will never be there for us again. Just a quick note to say thanks to you and all the folks who worked
so hard to make this Reunion what it definitely was ..a great success.
For myself ...I am especially happy to have seen so many old friends
and relived a bunch of great memories. The organization, variety of
venues [ skits , plays , diplays , lunches , meet and greet , dance
, bands ....absolutely wonderful ] ..Even saw a few old girfriends..hahaha...Anyway
...just again ..please pass my congratulations and thanks to all [ even
though most won't have a clue who I am ] ..For me ..and I know every
one I talked to....it was AWESOME...... I travelled from the Yukon Territory to see old friends at the 50th. Most I had not seen since 1969. Even though many years had passed faces were still recognizable. I was especially pleased to once again meet Henry Kafka, and Carolyn and Beverly Lewis. I had a great time and look forward to other reunions. Should any of you dare to venture to this north country don't hesitate to contact me for info. or a place to hang your hat. Dan Nickason dan.nickason@gov.yk.ca 867-633-3170 . I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job you all did in putting
it all together. It was a very special and nostalgic weekend that surpassed
my highest expectations and I am already looking forward to the 75th
in 2029!! Many thanks to all the ones who worked hard to put the reunion together!
I had a great time visiting with friends I had not seen for over 40
years. The decade rooms were really great and being able to visit with
teachers and students alike was a real treat. Thanks again. Kyle we
enjoyed getting to know you and find out some of the background work
that was done. Hi Gang- Just a quick note to thank you all for the wonderful reU weekend. It was great to see the old gang again. Most of us were there, although we missed seeing Stick(Brian Hale) and Neill Dunning. We are already talking about having a classes of 72 /73 get together in the next few years. If we wait until the 75th most of us will probably be dribbling by then( and I don't mean basketballs:) Special thanks to Mary, Ann and Terry. I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into the planning of this big event over the past few years. Job well done folks. Enjoy a well-deserved rest this summer. Thanks again. All the best Sue Bennett(BENO-73 ) What a great reunion. It brought back so many memories of my years
at Quinte. I was June (Livingstone) Miller Having been one of the original students who went to Quinte in 1954
when it was first opened I was more than a little anxious to meet some
of the students from that era. It was very gratifying to be able to
talk to people I hadn't seen since graduation (1958) and to find out
what they had been doing all these years. I would just like to thank all who put their hearts and efforts into
making this event such a spectacular success. I am really sorry that
I couldn't make it, especially after reading Andrea Hazard's note of
appreciation. Tammy Hennessy 202 Umezu Haitsu Matsushima, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka, 812-0062 Japan Tel/Fax: 092-624-0577 Mobile: 090-8628-6774 Hi Sandy, Ann et al, I know I'm late sending this note of appreciation to you, but I want
