Got back from my trip to Toronto for my high school's 50th anniversary (the school is 50, I did not graduate 50 years ago). ;) I had a really good time seeing some old friends and visiting the school which I do not think I have stepped in since I left in 1982!
Friday night was a social at a golf and curling club. Saturday there were lots of things going on at the school and Saturday night was the big Gala at the Ontario Science Centre. The organizers posted a note on Thursday that there was going to be a HUGE surprise on Friday night at the social and that it would mean a lot to some of the people who went to the school during a certain decade. Well, everyone was posting that they were sure that it was going to be the Barenaked Ladies playing (Ed Roberston and Steven Page (former member) went to my high school). Boy, we were all so disappointed when it turned out to be a bass player who was in Alice Cooper's band (and who is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) - Prakash John and The Lincolns. Clearly not on the same scale as the BNL but still famous(ish). Anyway, there were a lot of disappointed people there. :D
Anyway, here are some photos from the weekend. I tried to take some photos for my friend Diane who decided at the last minute not to go. I would have loved to have seen her. And for Peter - my soul blahg reader. :) Click here -> My pictures
Thanks for sharing those photos. I recognized; Ramona, Tracey and Dieter. I also recognize that sink! How many folks came out to the main event?
ReplyDeletePeter, they did not post the numbers for each event but said there were over 2000 people registered for all events.
ReplyDeleteI would estimate that there were 500 people at the Gala on Sat night and about that many on Friday night (but in a much smaller venue).
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty good turn out.
