40 Years Yipe !!! But lots of viable accomplishments: Married my high school sweetheart and took my father’s (and Will Roger’s) advice; “Buy land, son – they don’t make it any more…” Barbara and I still live ‘up-island’, near Parksville in a rambling old Victorian-era house with a somewhat newer twelve car garage. I spent many obligatory years in Retail mid-management and then into another rat-race of Driving Professionally. Also dabbled in some strip-mall development of the land we speculated on… What we’ll do to pay for our ‘hobbies’, eh? But indeed the house has been restored and rebuilt in true ‘vintage form’. Another high-school reflection is how my trusty old green Morris Minor car has led me to a 40 year passion of ‘ground-up’ restoration of rare “Coach Built” British cars… But we only have seven left, so if you’re in the market, do drop in – the tea is always ready! (We’re off to And speaking of huge projects, we survived parenthood – two sons… One is currently a professional Chef and a ‘ |
2008… Continued Giant’. He is well married with two sons of his own. Our youngest is now ‘living in sin’ but is gainfully employed as a district Retail food-rep. He too is a sports nut -- Hockey and Baseball. (But no pro-league contract to support his parents yet.) Another ex-Point Greyer lives in this area -- I have known Dick Zuyderduyn since Mr. Pullie’s grade 5 class at Kerrisdale Elem… I envision that some day he and I will be the two ‘Scholars of Life’, strolling the courtyard and reflecting the life that was ours, as in the closing minutes of “Chariot’s of Fire”… And since you asked, a ‘wise saying’ that I’ve come to live by almost daily… “If someone built it, it can be fixed”. |

Did I travel a lot you ask? Well, ‘Join the Navy and See the World’ was indeed a very true axiom for me! Though I have had the good fortune of always returning to I have had command of two of our warships over the years; both in the Pacific Command (the best job in the Navy!) This has involved working with that other superpower, the 1974 also included other ‘great beginnings’ as I also met Maureen; the most charming Nurse in Victoria -- we even got married that summer. We are approaching our 34th wedding anniversary -- still very much together and enjoying what life has offered us. This indeed has included two wonderful ‘children’: our daughter is now 30 and our son is 28! Though |
2008… Continued we moved several times as a family (and at least twice I moved alone to give them schooling stability), they are both ‘home-based’ here in Maureen and I are patiently waiting for two marriages and grandchildren (hopefully in that order), but in the meantime we travel at least twice a year to And for some reason, I never quite got back to finishing off that degree at UBC! Let me blame it on my first Victoria-Maui yacht race way back in 1968… And probably the subsequent salt-water that got into my veins! |

In school "Flash" was a Prefect, a member of the Pep Band, on the Centennial Committee and was well known for the "Kel-Harvey productions." Outside of school Chris skis, is a member of Young Life and likes parties, glob hunting, singing with the Speckled Hacks and playing the tambourine. After grad, U.B.C. for education and then travel. |
After graduation I completed the Babysitter’ level 2 babysitting course, and trained as a Kirby Vacuum sales rep. (Editor’s note: which obviously qualified him as the Assistant Superintendent of the Victoria School Board where he’s working, seemingly undercover). I’ve been filling my time playing pretty regular gigs with the Speckled Hacks, training in order to regain my starting role with the Dainty Dozen, still searching for my missing pica stick, continuing to gain inspiration by rereading (yet again) Miss DeRzonca’s memoirs, waiting for an answer to my petition seeking a recount for the London House Presidential election and continuing to muse over Howard McAllister’s words of wisdom to me on stage at the graduation ceremony – “You’re the people’s choice”. Which people? |
2008… Continued What choice did they have? My greatest achievement is convincing Alix to stay with me, with whom I have a quiver full of offspring. My word to the wise? If you have been blessed with great classmates and friends within a wonderful childhood school and community, then just say thanks every day. |

A new girl at Point this year, Maureen did not get into many activities. Outside of school she is kept busy playing the piano and her guitar, taking photos, painting posters and participating in sports such as skiing and skating. Maureen plans to attend U.B.C. after grad. |
Maureen managed to endure UBC for 3 years and then tried communal living for 4 years before she discovered that she was "too middle-class" for that sort of thing. Maureen subsequently chose an entirely middle-class pursuit -- namely computers. She now works on Salmon data bases for the Department of Fisheries, and lives in |

Barb, our vivacious Head Cheerleader has always been in the thick of school activities. After a modelling course in the summer, she will enter U.B.C. for one year. She then hopes to go east for her final schooling and experience in the fashion world. Aside from her job at Woodwards, Barb's interests include skiing, sewing and designing clothes. |
Barb got a B.F.A. at U.B.C., worked for BC Tel, then spent 15 years at Canadian Airlines, during which time she travelled all over the world (favourite area: Asia). Barb is a physical fitness instructor, and has returned to school to train further in the health and fitness occupational field. She is married to Jon Turrey, and they have a boy, aged 6 and a girl, age 2 1/2. All of them live in |

One of the few souls left that like to pet stray animals, Sean's outside interests are skiing and physics. In school he is a hard working student on the science program. After grad Sean is going to head out to U.B.C. |
Since Grad ‘68, I ‘sampled’ a wide variety of UBC programs and travelled for a couple of years before discovering biology & research. I had a nice ‘side trip’ to Queen's University, in Back to |
2008… Continued on fixing problems, particularly aggression. This is fun and challenging as most of the problems are on the human side. Research & teaching remain a passion. Somewhere along the line, my favourite uncle observed that my interests in ‘too many different things’ doomed me to failure. That can be my contribution as sage life-advice! Looking forward to the reunion! |

Becoming a grandmother has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life! I have indeed travelled abroad, worked as a teacher, worked in real estate and in turn have been married for 33 years and have two lovely daughters… But I can't think of anything more delightful than watching my grandson as he learns daily about his new world!! I still enjoy singing; have been in many different choirs over these many years. I curl, ski, play bridge, do crosswords, walk the dog, and read whenever I get the chance. If I have learned one thing in my 58 years on earth, it is to appreciate good friends. I particularly treasure the friends that I made in high school and who are still part of my life after all this time. |

Gordon is not seen around school too much, but after school and on the weekends he likes having a good time. Gordie plans to travel and work for a year and then enter U.B.C. in the fall of 1969. |
Gordon left PG and headed for the "wilderness," where, apparently, he fished for salmon, learned about house construction and fell in love. How he met his wife Ellen in the wilderness is a mystery, but there is little mystery about the result: two daughters, aged 2 and 4, on whom Gordon dotes when he isn't building houses.

Steve's response was sketchy to say the least: His past 20 years have been "work, work, work," and his future is "play, work, play." However, we do know that he is a sales representative; is married to wife Susan, with whom he has had a son, age 5 and a daughter, age 3. All of them live near 2nd and Blenheim where, no doubt, they work and play together. |
