I am also a partner in a Training and Consulting company, Millennium 3. I have been married for 20 years to my wife Carrie and have 2 sons, Brett 15 and Karsten 12. Most of our social life revolves around football stadiums and hockey arenas and I spend much of my time coaching both sports. My family moved from Roxboro to Surrey B.C. when my parents retired and we spend a lot of time on the West Coast skiing and golfing. My sister Donna, Class of 77 is also in Vancouver working as an Audiologist. We also spend as much Spring time in Phoenix as we can, getting a head start on retirement….
    I get back to Montreal every few years but as recently as a couple of weeks ago and spent a couple of days reminiscing around the West Island including Riverdale and John Abbott. The old memories, (and nothing but good ones) came rolling back and I found myself getting rather nostalgic. I had a chance to talk to Earl Zukerman who is the Media Liaison Officer at McGill Athletics. Also spoke to my old friend Steve Kruse who is in Princeton New Jersey and visited his parents Nancy and Murray, still in Roxboro.
    It was great to scroll down the list of classmates from 1974 and see what they are doing and where they are all living these days. Anyone is more than welcome to contact me and I would love to hear what they are up to. I was also shocked to see the Memoriam page. Several old friends mentioned, Bruce, Robert, “Hash”, and still remember Debbie Paulette and Bobby Bishop from when we were all in the Band.
