on Friday afternoon, 34 of us (with several spouses also present), gathered to reunite with stories of our careers, families and life's events. A catered dinner at Brandon's Seniors for Seniors (which had been prepared for the festivities by Marjorie, Verna (Waytowich) Sparks and diane (Fowler) Taylor) provided the venue for much reminiscing . . . a marathon of chatter which lasted from mid-afternoon until evening. How great to reunite with people who now reside from Vancouver island through the prairie provinces to ontario.
during this time we received written greetings from Mrs.Jean Burgess who had been one of our professors. We also held a power point memorium to acknowledge those who had passed away.
on Saturday, many of the guests met at Brandon university for the luncheon and tour of the campus. What fun it was to recall events that had occurred years ago in the now beautifully refurbished clark Hall, where most of our classes were held 50 years ago. A tour of the subsquently created "education Building" included plans for our class to honour our late dean, dr. Mccutcheon.
on Sunday morning, we met for brunch at the city golf course restaurant, where we continued to share by recalling stories about our profs, residents' shenanigans and events that proved our grey matter still holds dear those many "golden moments." Many cameras clicked during this event and included are pictures of the attendees according to in which of the three classes they had been enrolled. it was agreed that we will meet again in five years!

Linking Intergenerational Friends of the Environment at Assiniboine Park
The Assiniboine Park Conservancy is hosting a unique intergenerational eco-stewardship program this summer called LIFE (Linking Intergenerational Friends of the Environment). The basis of the LIFE program is to host a series of intergenerational workshops promoting environmental awareness and appreciation by using the natural assets of Assiniboine Park for mutual exploration and discovery. Each workshop will be structured around a new and exciting theme, such as “the trees in our forest”. Assiniboine Park will host these workshops once a week during the morning or afternoon, through the months of July and August. The emphasis of these workshops is to encourage different generations to join together and engage with the natural environment. Our ultimate goal, however, is to highlight, celebrate and promote how the interconnections between generations and our environment are essential to creating a sustainable future. If you are interested in sharing your passion for nature with a child this summer please call the Assiniboine Park Programming office at (204) 927-6070 or email parkprograms@ assiniboinepark.ca .
