Here's one sent in by Bruce Brooker of himself and good buddy Paul Madden taken a few years ago. @@@@@@@@@@@@
Here are best friends Donna Farrell(Walker) and Mary Colbert(Wilkins)taken a few years ago.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Spring 2001, Bob and I went to Crystal Beach to see my old friend Bruce Brooker play at the Palmwood Hotel. Many of you will remember that place. It hasn't changed a whole lot in 30 years.
While there we also had the opportunity to visit a while with Paul Madden, and Barbara & Maretta Leyland (sorry I don't know their married names)
We had a great time listening to Bruce play his drums and hearing the oldies we used to listen to way back when. I was completely caught up in the beat. Bruce hasn't changed a lot. He's still one of the tallest guys I know and one of the nicest.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
My old boyfriend, Pete Clemens and his son came for the day in August 2001.
It was a beautiful day and we shared a lot of great memories.
I had forgotten how tall he was.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
This picture of Mary Colbert(Wilkins) and I was taken November 10, 2001, when Mary and her daughter stopped at my home for lunch after shopping. We had a lovely visit and she hasn't changed a bit. She's still the warm, funny, person I remember.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Just before Christmas 2001 I had the pleasure of scheming with good friend Frank D'Amelio to surprise his Mother. He brought her up to Burlington for a few days to see the Santa Claus Parade and made some excuse that he had to stop and pick up a package, for his wife Carol, at some person's house. When I walked out to greet his Mom she was very surprised. We had a lovely visit, albeit far too short and I was able to show Mrs. D my home for the first time (we usually lived to far away). The D'Amelio family lived across the street from me during part of my youth and my teenage years. Mrs. D taught me to cook Italian in exchange for doing her hair, so they're like family to me.

Will Gow sent this picture in of himself and Frank Flynn having a cup of coffee at the Second Cup in Kelowna, BC. It was taken about the 15th of January, 2002. Looking good guys!
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Sandra Snyder (Greig) stopped in the other day, (Friday, February 22, 2002) for coffee and a two hour chat. It was fun talking about the good old days. As it turns out she lives just a few blocks from me.

On September 28, 2002, I went to Fort Erie to meet with Kim Brown and girlfriend Elissa, at his Dad's house. They hopped on a plane from Florida, where they make their home these days, to attend a Buffalo Bill's game. Now that's what I call a dedicated fan!
@@@@@@@@@@@@
On October 18, 2002, I had a visit from Christine Piuni (Ruch), who does volunteer work here in Burlington, several times a week. We had fun talking about old times (our Dad's were in Fort Erie Fire Company #1 together) and our remaining parents are still friends.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Fall 2002, I stopped to visit my old and dear friends, Tony Sansano and his wife Dianne. It was great seeing them again.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Here's a picture sent to me by Anne Marie McNeil, nee Hammond, (who has been a secretary/receptionist at FESS for more than 25 years) of her and Jan Mars, the school Youth Counsellor. Anne Marie always had a beautiful smile. Some things never change.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Here's a picture, taken by the waiter, of Will Gow, Barbara Ferdinandi & Frank Flynn, as they were waiting for Barbara's husband to join them for dinner. I hope they gave him an extra big tip.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Here's a picture taken in July 2003 of Candy Paliska, Dorothy Burns (Stouffer), & Colleen Ward (James) in the hallway of Douglas Memorial Hospital. I popped in for a surprise visit. I recognized Colleen's big smile immediately and she took me down the hall to see Candy. My 12 year old son took the picture.

On a recent trip to B.C. (September 2003), we got the Fort Erie crowd together for a mini reunion. We had a nice dinner together and shared a lot of nice memories, a few drinks, a few laughs and some warm hugs. It was so good to see them again. While there, we also looked up old friend Josie Fiorica the next night. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, but she looks fantastic!
