If anybody has a picture of the truck and trailer that you can send to me to forward on to southland or if you have any Ideas what we could do to say thank you for the use of the trailer let me know. Thanks again cam. camdeg@telus.net

Lunch, anyone??

We thought it would be nice to go for lunch since there are still some people hanging around Magrath, before they all leave. 11:30 at Moxies in Lethbridge on Wednesday (Aug 1st). If you are working that day mabey you could come for your lunch break (we'll save you seats if you can't be there till later!) If possible please reply (or call me) so that we have an estimate on seating. If not just show up and we'll be glad to pull up another chair for ya! If you don't want Moxies and have another suggestion please let me know. Melissa PS: I had a great time this weekend. It was so good to see you all again and remember all the crazy and fun times we had. Thanks!!! To everyone that was not there: we missed you!

We are Moving...

This blog will stay intact and slowly I will move all of the content over to a Facebook Group that will only be open to us. If you are on Facebook add me If you are not... Get on it and start wasting time like the rest of us. The reunion was better than I ever imagined it would be. I count every one of you as my friend. Thank you for the amazing memories. If anyone has pictures they would like to post please mail them to me. If you have lots of pictures to send (10+). Email me and I'll tell you how to do it. Dave

Anyone interested in fun run?

We have the fun run on Saturday morning at 7:30 am. It is either a run, bike or walk 5 or 10 km. If anyone is interested the entry is $10 for 12 & under; and $15 for anyone over 12. Everyone will get a t-shirt and we will have some fun door prizes. We start at the Treasury Branch on Main Street. If anyone is interested, you can call me Angie 403-758-6009 or email me @ vayro1@telus.net. I need to know by Tuesday at 5:30 pm. I will see you all this weekend. It is going to be one busy weekend!!!!!!!!

That's Right....

The pressure's on... Get shopping. And everyone better smell good. or at least not bad

Update on Style and Appearance

Apparently Dave is going to dress in formal attire and suggests that the rest of us look like we put "a little effort in!" I am feeling the pressure, Dave, to look like I gave it a college try. Be gentle!

Answers! (in addition to Maryse's)

Dress is, as I imagine Kent would say, "wear what you want." I'd say dressy casual, but some cowboy will show up in jeans and that's more than okay by me! Really, whatever you are comfortable in. Slacks, button down shirt, tie optional - if were a guy, that's what I would wear. Since I'm not, there are a few more options!

Questions?

I know that this was discussed before, but I don't recall what the answer was (if there was one). What is the attire for the dinner on Friday night? Also... besides the parade at 10 and the get together at Angie's at 3 does anyone know what the rest of the day looks like as far as the Magrath celebrations are concerned? You know, events, activities, fireworks, etc. I would appreciate any info that anyone has. It has been too long since I've been there. Thanks.

Beat you all (I think!)

Good Morning to all of you! Only a few weeks left. Are you all eagerly awaiting the "big weekend"! Well, since I last posted, alot has happened to my ever growing family! If you checkout my photobucket, or check out facebook, you will see. And yes, thanks Dave, very addicting! But very fun as well! My daughter, all of you probably remember, since she is now 20 years old, had a baby girl on July 4th! So check out the pictures. And Michelle, I did talk to Nancee. She is in the states still, and her and her hubby run a ranch, and as soon as my brain clears, I will post the website for their place. It's pretty cool. So, regardless to say, she will not be coming to the reunion. Hopefully I can still make it, my life seems to have gotten rather kaotic. At least try for Friday anyway, have a few drinks and relax! Would be great. But I do look forward to seeing you guys, and if you're on face book my name is Kerry Malinki. Take care and talk to you soon!

New Reading Material

I'm not sure if anyone checks this blog out anymore, but I thought I'd make one last update before the big Hoo Rah is a few weeks. I have emailed most of you and called some of you. Other's have mysteriously changed their telephone numbers since I last contacted them. Though I think I won't take it personally! Big news! Carrie Harris heard about this somehow and called up David. Or emailed him. I really should take notes when I discuss these things. She is a specialized pediatric nurse, I believe, in a hospital in Calgary. I think she is going back to school to become a physician. Ask David about her when you see her. She wishes she could come down to the reunion, but she is working that weekend. Hmmm, who else. Brad Beck - nearly impossible to contact. I do have two numbers and his phone was once answered by a nameless female, but I have never had the good fortune of speaking with him. I will give his mom the information and maybe, just maybe, he'll show up. I was sort of hoping he and Michael Aackland would be able to come - it would feel like old times. If we were ever sitting in a classroom in alphabetical order, it was Aackland, Baril, Beck. In fact, I still have a box that Brad made in Mr. Ririe's woodshop class. He gave it to me one day after school and I can't believe I saved it after all these years. It has some of my old 80's jewelry and other treasures from the past - though, what I really wish I saved were the notes that we all passed back and forth - now those would be worth something! I did talk to Chris Pilling the other day. He is doing well and sends his best and said to say hello. He was just in Magrath for a family wedding and didn't think he'd make it up for Magrath days. Though the thought of riding on a float was somewhat appealing.... Just in case the Colin Yeh that I found in Honk Kong, who looked suspiciously like the Colin that we knew and loved, was the real original deal, I sent him the information to the reunion. He says it isn't him, but I really wish it was. It would be great to see him again. Send positive thoughts out into the universe; maybe the real Colin will find us! Martha, Renee, Doug...I don't know. I have tried. I really have. I have the phone bill to prove it. Send more universe thoughts. And in case any of you addicts out there need a new habit, Dave set us on to the stunningly addictive Facebook. Check it out and join the group MHS Rules. We stumbled onto Mr. Steven Brockway. Man...technology is cool So, till later. Hope you've enjoyed your little update. Oh, and don't forget to RSVP to Tobi - number over on the sidebar. Make it snappy - she needs to get the numbers in to the chefs...or someone. Ciao
