It has been a long time since Point Grey and I was happy to hear about the 40-year reunion; sorry I’m not able to be there. After high school I went to university for a long, long time -- well past the legal limit I'm sure! I visited a variety of faculties, mostly at the University of Alberta but with a couple of extra years in Toronto and England. Since all that, I have been working in Edmonton as a spinal deformity surgeon, a branch of orthopedics. My wife Jo Anne and I were married in 1978 and we have three ‘children’ -- all boys. Shaun is now 26 and our twins, Eric and David are now both 23. They seem to be happy young men. No grandchildren yet, though we have been granted one grandpuppy who is a lot of fun. Our various pastimes have centred around skiing and music. We were heavily involved with freestyle skiing while the boys were growing up. We all play musical instruments and have spent a lot of time trying to make music together… Plus, I am proud to say that after many years of being in the church choir, I can actually sing my part (most days)! I hope the reunion is successful and fun and I appreciate being remembered!

Paul combined his desire for money with his computational skill and joined Scotia Bank on July 2, 1968. He is still with them, now as a manager in Kamloops, where he lives with wife(?) Judy. In the past 20 years he has lived what he describes as a normal banker’s life(?!).
Sandy Matheson

	As a member of the grad sub-committee, Sandy helped to paint the scenery for our grad dance. Her numerous outside interests include skiing, swimming, Young People's and Hi-C. Sandy plans to go to U.B.C. for a teaching degree and then go to Europe.	After completing my BEd at U.B.C., I backpacked around Europe and North Africa for eight months. I then settled into thirty consecutive years of teaching students in grades four to seven in the Vancouver School District. Throughout that time, I continued my travels during school vacations. I embarked upon a major trip to Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia plus I have visited Washington, California, and Nevada quite a few times. I have enjoyed Hawaii on numerous occasions, and I have toured Great Britain extensively -- especially Scotland, where I was born. I am now in my third year of retirement, and enjoying every moment of it. I'm busy working on the many hobbies and crafts that I enjoy, but which I didn't have time for while teaching. I am single, and have no children -- 30 kids in the classroom was always enough! "Wise" sayings: Life can be short... make the world a better place by being kind and respectful to one another. Exterior facades are not nearly as important as internal qualities.
Claire Melton			Living in Vancouver.

Bob Merilees
	1968…	2008…	2008… Will be attending Reunion.
	Bob was another active member of the Senior Basketball team this year and could be found on Friday nights passing that ball or taking aim for a basket. After leaving Point, he plans to work for a year and then it’s off to Europe.	Point Grey?? But that was 40 years ago!! I guess I do remember some things -- like climbing the fence and crossing the railway tracks to get to school. How about the 15 Flavors Ice cream place, the Ding Ho, Mary’s across from the school, Dean’s pool hall, the Avenue Grill, Hills of Kerrisdale, dodging the prefects in one way halls, and room 202 -- detention hall! ( I spent a lot of my childhood there!) Slave Day, Box lunch day, murderball, plus many more. Hope these jog everybody else’s memory too! As for me, I was with the Royal Bank for 17 years; Weston luggage Ltd for 15 years. I’m now semi-retired, living in Gibsons and looking after two Kiwanis Apartment complexes. I had to get married -- because my wife was just too cute (Nancy Nowell, a PG Grad of ’69). We have 2 sons, 34 and 31. They have both hopefully grown up and are indeed somewhere between axe murderers and brain surgeons. I continued to play basketball until 2007 when I finally realized the other guys were getting younger and I couldn’t see the clock on the other side of the gym without my glasses. Everybody has glasses now don’t they? Oh well, I guess we will see in June -- I missed the last reunion, due to family commitments, and look forward to attending this one.
David Miller
	1968…	2008…	2008… Will be attending Reunion.
	Very interested in today's education, Dave can carry a conversation with anyone on this subject. He was a member of the SA de AS and also helped with drama productions. His favorite sports are rugby, skiing and track. After grad he plans to travel around Europe.	My English degree from SFU was perfect preparation for working ‘up the coast’ as a combo ranch-hand plus first-aid attendant in some isolated logging camps and fish plants. And it was especially useful for my stints as a plastic pipe sales-rep, a child care worker, a psychiatric aide, a newspaper reporter and a ‘few other pursuits’ somewhere in BC and Alberta. But by my mid-thirties I was missing a sense of security (no money!); I knew I had to get a trade – something I could work at forever if I had to. So, back to school for an MA in Counselling Psychology from UBC plus training in Gestalt therapy. This gave me the means to begin my current career (20 years and counting) in counselling and as a teacher of counselling. After a few years at Vancouver Community College (where I met Donna, my current wife -- or as she has quickly restated, my last wife), I decided I needed more ‘excitement’ and so I began working with Addiction Services in Vancouver where I continue to counsel youth and adult clients plus provide shop steward services as needed. Donna and I have 2 children: Tara is 17 and has been acting in numerous stage productions for the past several years, and Daniel is 14 and a marvel in the kitchen. I’ve continued a little writing plus much reading of poetry ‘as if my life depended on it’. Sometimes I think it is that important!	2008… Continued A current interest is getting my recently acquired 60 year old wood and canvas Peterborough freight-canoe repainted and varnished and back on the water. Both kids have been informed they will love paddling me around!
Barb Moran (Declue)
	1968…	2008…	2008… Will be attending Reunion.
	This busy grad acted as vice-president of Paris House this year and was also a member of Point's Senior Choir. Aside from working on the weekends and teaching Sunday School, Barb's interests are held by swimming, sewing and Young Peoples. Barb's future goal is as yet undecided, although she will attend U.B.C. in the fall.	After graduation I spent a year at UBC and then went to work for the Royal Bank. I left the bank in May 1971 and travelled Europe stopping to work in Athens and London and returned home in December 1972. I was re-hired by the Royal Bank and spent another year there before I realized that I wanted to work in the travel industry so I got a job with CP Air. Met hubby there and married in 1977. Tired of shift work, I left CP in '81 and until I retired in 2001, worked as support staff in a variety of interesting companies. Now that I'm retired I wonder how I had time for a job -- I've always got some sort of project on the go and my ongoing battle-of-the-bulge means spending time at the gym. And who can resist a good book and good friends. We have no children but do have a 31-year-old horse that we affectionately refer to as "the money pit". We've visited various parts of the world over the years but now we prefer loading up the car and exploring Beautiful British Columbia. Life is pretty darn good. I'm the luckiest girl in the world!	2008… Continued I look forward to the reunion and wish each and every one of you good health and happiness. My words of wisdom: ‘Dates on calendars are closer than they appear!’

	1968…	1988…	2008… Unable to attend Reunion.
	Dianne has many outside interests but she prefers to keep them to herself!? Next year she would like to enter V.C.C. to start her training for a career in social work. Liking children, Dianne wishes to work in an orphanage after she gets her degree.	After living in Europe, Dianne studied social work an then counselled juveniles and those with special needs Although this is her present occupation, she has done much else in the past 20 years, including travelling in Asia an the South Pacific with husband Guy, and giving birth to he son Kalan (5) and daughter Sacha (2).
