In recent correspondence with Paul Campagna, I invited him to feel free to send stuff for this web page. He replied with the first letter found (at the end of this list) below. This page was born from the opening line of that letter: "How about infamous Del memories." 

If you wish to add your memories or comments, send them in to me at delreunion@yahoo.ca and I will post them here. 

Thanks for the inspiration Paul.

Another memory...I had better get them down on paper before I forget... that came back to me just recently...relates to a Del Championship hockey season so many years ago involving the Zdrilich brothers, Mike and John. I was coaching the Junior Team and we were in a very difficult series with St.Mike's. We were playing at SMC and fights were breaking out everywhere. St Mike students? were spitting on us [ my coat was covered ]. Of course, at the centre of the fights [it wasn't Zabinsky this time] were the Zdrilichs. They were such hard-nosed kids and really lacked skill in articulation. I recall Father McDougall making his way to the ice surface to berate one of the Zdrilichs for his uncouth manner and was greeted with such a stream of profanity that I thought the Good Lord would surely will us to lose. And did I hear about his words later!!! But we prevailed and won the first of two junior crowns!

I just exchanged emails with John the other day and we have a golf game lined up for next summer!! [ I wonder if he has tamed his fiery competitiveness?] He probably still swears like Zabinsky, I bet!!!

As a staff member, of course, there are stories most students wouldn't be privy to...and some of them were absolutely outrageous. Picture the following: Mr.Bochenek looking for Joe Belazovik in the staff room because the latter was not performing his yard duties on a cold winter's day. After Bochenek leaves, Joe emerges from behind the coat rack[his hiding place], runs to the fridge, opens the door and sticks his head inside the freezer compartment. Why are you doing that, we asked? Well, Joe responded, if he intercepts me before I get outside, I'll get him to feel my cheeks to prove I was out there. OJ and I laughed to incontinence...well not quite..but it was a funny moment!
