Traf reunion: part 1 (the school)

I had signed up to go to this not expecting to meet too many people from my class of 1968. I did not meet too many but I was still glad that I went. The encounters were good and it was good to be in Montreal again.

The first event was a talk at the school. There were 3 of us for that. The talk was excellent - on Montreal's old buildings and how they have been renovated. The Powerpoint pictures added to the talk. It made me think of Ottawa's old buildings and how they have been renovated.



Then we went for lunch at the Café des Beaux-Arts at the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal. There were 2 more classmates there. It was interesting to hear everone's life journey since we graduated 40 years ago.

Then in the evening it was back to the school. Again there were only three of us from the class of 1968.

There were displays from various class years. There was wine and cheese. There were tours of the school. That was interesting as I had not been there in over 20 years. Trying to remember how things were was sort of fun but a challenge too.

The library used to be the gym. On the wall there were listings of McGill graduates as the school has always had close connections with the university. My name was there as I graduate with a B.A. in 1972.

Then it was time for dinner and picture taking of the graduating class. It was nice to see almost 15 folks from the class of 1958. Maybe when we get to our 50th reunion we can do better on the numbers.
