| Great Evening |
| That was a great party. The organizers did a wonderful job. Lovely to see old friends; happy that I haven't changed too much and that people recognized me. The food was fantastic and plentiful! It was so sad that all the trophies, plaques and photos were being given away. That was when I really grasped that Lakeport will be gone for good. |

| Thanks for Organizing A "Fabulous 50" reunion |
| It was great seeing so many old friends and seeing the old school for the last time. Tough to see the names on the memorial board but glad to find out about those who are gone. Definitely a vote of thanks to all members of the organizing committee and the volunteers who helped make it happen. The theme "Once a Laker Always a Laker" rings true for me. |

| History - impact value |
| Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.
Edmund Burke - It was only later that John Hewitt sparked my interest in learning by reading History subjects. |

| Who would have thought?! |
| I hated history and geography. I didn't know when I was in high school that I would live in so many different countries as the (former) spouse of a Canadian diplomat and travel to 30 countries! |

| Role models |
| Mr. Dobson, my pricipal at Grantham and Lakeport, (yes I was in high school for more than the normal 5 years). John Park became a role model that changed my life and is still affecting it to this day. |

| fond memories of long ago |
| Class of 63, first graduates of Papermaking Technology course. Wish I still had my Alpha Omega green letter sweater. I hope my first love from Grade 11, Linda Homer is going be there. Spent most of my career in and around paper; buying it, selling it, printing on it with some time out in the music industry in the middle (sold K-tel songs for their compilations).I'm happy to recognize Debbie Pratt's photos. Looks like she hasn't changed at all. |

| Remember when our geography teacher, strode to the giant map at the front of the class, retracted it to its carriage, and then stood gaping at the playboy centerfold tacked to the blackboard behind? val aloian |

| From One of the Originals |
| I look forward with mixed emotions to what appears to be the "final reunion" for Lakers. I urge other "originals",especially those who came over from the Annex in 1961,to attend and join in one last celebration of our teenage years. |

| Friday Night |

| Musical Memories |
| Lakports reunion prompted me to dig out Choir albums from 1975 and 1976. Listening to them brought back some great memories. Plan to burn some CDs of these. Let me know if anyone is interested in a copy. Does anyone have any recordings of "Mama Kapoosta a |
