Comments: 1959-65 seems like a long time ago, but when I read the website and the guest book, I feel as though I am with old friends again.
Warmest Christmas wishes to you all; may you have a peaceful celebration with you families and friends, and may the joy of the season fill your hearts.
For the New Year, loads of good health, much happiness, and success in all your adventures.
If you are passing through, or live in Winnipeg, please do give me a call. I would love to have coffee and catch up on old times.
I have just compiled two large 2 inch ring binders of correspondence, photos, newspaper clippings, et al dating from the 1980's when you people wrote to me over the years. What an interesting review of friendships ! I've recently shared them with Mary T. Sheehan, Marvin Gordon, Walter Bohonos, and Jean MacKinnon. They have enjoyed reading about you too. Will continue to add to the binders, and ultimately they will go to the Archives at Brandon University under the heading Education in South West Manitoba. That's where I put all the stuff that I compiled for the last big reunion we had. Apparently some folks have been checking on the Archives lately for names on pictures etc.
Again, warmest good wishes to all.

Comments: Steve Brown was a good guy. When he first move to Shilo he wore these pointed toe shoes. He would walk around kicking at us. We ended up nicknaming him "the foot expert". One thing he did have was a hot sister Sandy, she was a sweetie.
