Hello everyone! What a memory trip this is! I am married for over 25 years now and have 2 girls Shannon(1978) and Jennifer (1980) As a mature student I completed a B. Comm at Concordia in 1990 and have worked in Human Resources for the last 12 years. I have been working in the field of Youth Protection since 1979.

Basketball remained a big part of my life and both my girls played at very high levels. They are much better players than their Mom!

Feel free to send me a note if you remember me.

I did not graduate from RVR as we were moved to Ontario. So I had to complete my high school in Kingston. I went to Queen's and received a degree in Biology. I am now married and have three sons. I run a daycare in my home. I would love to hear from any one who may remember me.

Hi! Everyone! I am constantly excited in hearing from classmates and enjoy hearing about your lives for the past 30 years. I have been in contact briefly with different people and renewed freindships with some. I would be interested in hearing from you and if you are in Calgary give me a ring, I am in the book. Cheers

Rob Edlefsen (Class of 75) Northern.ice AT sympatico.ca
Living in Cambridge Ontario with my lovely lady Rita Desfosses (Class of 83), a miniature Schnauser named Tasha, and my two daughters (Katrina 11 aand Alyshia 8). Life has tossed me some curves but as they say, "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." Had to finally give up soccer after three bouts of reconstructive knee surgery. (this aging thing really sucks!!). Am still working at Pratt & Whitney (24 years) currently as a senior technical writer. Every other evening during the week I entertain (sing, play guitar) at various retirement and nursing homes in the area. Weekends are reserved for playing in Pubs,
Legions or at one of the many folk festivals in the area at the correct time of year. Along with spending precious time with my family and keeping up a house with Rita. I play mostly Celtic (Scottish, Irish pub music), East Coast and Canadian folk music (with a little bit of what ever else I see fit). Would love to hear from any of the survivors from
1975. As the song goes " Photographs and Memories!!" is so true! All the best to all of you "70s RVR Grads" good luck and God Bless!! They were very special times, and had their own collection of very specia memories.

I now live in Cornwall, Ontario. I moved here with my (second)husband after retiring form Pratt & Whitney two years ago. I have two beautiful children ages 19 and 21 and four step-children and (believe it or not) four step-grand-children. I would love to hear from anyone from the class of '75 or anyone else that remembers me for that matter.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I havn't kept in touch with anyone. After graduation, I attended Marianopolis for a year and a half and dropped out. Then I went into business by buying a restaurant. After 2 years I sold it and attended Vanier and I took some courses at McGill. Then I bought a discotheque and bought a second club, both in Sept-Iles,Qc. I sold both of them in 1997 and returned to Montreal and got married to Panagiota. I have two children, Konstantinos (3 years old) and Aggeliki (2 years old). Upon my return to Montreal, I helped in the family business, Restaurant Serre Picasso on St-Jacques Street West in Montreal near Cavendish. Afterwards, I started an investment portal on Greece URL: www.hellascapital.ca along with a partner, and I regularly travel to Greece. I have an import/export business in seafood, I am the exclusive distributor for Oranfresh (automatic citrus juicers) for Canada and the US, and I started an ATM and Kiosk company in 2002.

I revisited RVR a few years ago. I was disappointed and saddened to see the school with its present day vocation. I also had mixed feelings travelling through the corridors, especially when I could not find our graduating class picture hanging from the walls.

I hope to hear from other grads soon. I can still be found at Serre Picasso regularly, helping my parents from time to time if anyone wants to drop in! Keep well.

Your Classmate,

Fotios Spetsieris

After RVR I went to Dawson in Commerce and I met my husband in 1983. We got married in 1988 and have been living in Toronto for 16 years. I have 3 children (Kyle 11),(Valerie 8) and (Megan 6). I was an office manager for a coffee manufactuer for 10 years and after my third child I decided to stay home. My little one is in full time school now and I am presently starting my own business. Love to hear from you.

Hi! I'm living in Kassel, Germany as a free-lance musician with my husband Bernhard (percussionist) and my two children Julia Maria (8) and Nikolas (5). I graduated with a music performance diploma in Hannover(Germany)in 1991, returned to Montréal for a year to finish my Master´s in Performance at McGill but had already met Bernhard just before leaving- he`s working in the opera orchestra here, so back I came! Enjoyed reading news and Bill`s photos! If anyone is in Germany, please contact me. Colleen also wants me to mention my CD... but you have to ask her about it.

Hey. After RVR i went to lennoxville and managed to get a DEC in only three years. Went on to Concordia long enough to realize I hated it. Transferred to Bishop's and got a degree in politics. Headed to Vancouver with PJ and became one of the finest janitors on the West Coast. Got fed up with pushing a broom, so I headed East (way East) to Acadia to get an MA (Philosophy). Moved back out West, got married to Kelly Cardwell then back to Montreal where I attended McGill. Got a B.Ed. and now live in Hudson and teach Phys. Ed. (just a fancy term for gym) at Hudson High School. It beats pushing a mop and I get to wear shorts.

After College (Champlain, Lennoxville) and University (Bishop's), and working/living in Montreal a few years, I packed up and moved to Missouri for graduate school. There I met my husband, Landon. We married August 2000, in Hudson, QC. After brief stints in NY, Texas and Mississippi, we now live in Houston where I work as the Assistant Editor of the Jefferson Davis Papers at Rice University.

Hi all! I happened to find this site while doing research for my work. It's wonderful to see you all doing so well. After graduating from RVR, I went on to complete a degree in translation from the University of Ottawa. I worked as a freelance translator for 4 years before I got hired full-time in October 2000 to work in CGI's translation department in Montréal. I got married in 1999 and still don't have any kids. When was the last class reunion?
