Hey, Still in the Trenton/Belleville area. Are we having another reunion in 2007? I was on the committee for the last reunion and would be interested in joining this one.

Hi Lesley Barr. How come you haven't signed up for this site? Welcome back!. What's happened in your life since we last met for the 20th? Kids have grown up? What's transpired with the other Barr family/relatives who attended BSS back in the day of disco, downtown Trenton fires, boring CFB Trenton before it became a hub for bringing home deceased soldiers or the air cadet camp being turned into a refugee camp from Bosnia? Looking forward to your posts and memory sharing.
JULES

Hi everyone. Carol MacIsaac here 78-82. I have been browsing without posting for a couple of weeks now. Some names are familiar, others not so much. Great job with the boards. It's been fun reading some of the stories. It has been interesting to say the least. I guess I haven't posted as I am afraid many won't remember me, or even worse, I won't remember them Having a slack moment at work so thought to say hi. There have been some good chuckles and lots of memories. Great site!

Welcome aboard Ms. MacIsaac. Now we have to get you to join up (for free) and give you exalts for great postings. What's transpired with you since leaving BSS after five years, back in '82? Start a family? Get a career after post-secondary education? Go into the military? What have you missed about BSS? Share your thoughts and stories … pique your memories. Submit photos to the webmaster that you find covered in dust in a box at home? Dig out your old yearbooks...mine are getting a workout as I flip through the pages...have five Xavier air force brats go through the school, I have a stack of year books. Welcome aboard...don't be shy! It's not like walking down the hall near the art room and having to run the gauntlet with the ghetto guys putting up numbers like they used to do in gymnastics or figure skating as you're rated by your male peers.

Hi Carol, I think we all think that way to some point.
Now if we can get all of the other non-posting guest to speak up this site will be hopping ;D

Carol, don't be shy, I too was afraid I wouldn't remember anyone - had to get out the yearbooks and keep them handy to look up names so I can figure out who everyone is. I was shy in school and didn't hang around with the "in crowd" but I still love checking this site every day to see what new posts are here. Come in and join the fun.

Hi.. I am back Thanks for the welcome.. Yes Teresa, I am Jo-Ann's sister. And I do remember you. I am actually not too far from the nest. I left Trenton in 82 and moved to Kingston where I still live. The Ministry of Health was moving it's head office to Kingston so I jumped on the wagon as it was passing by. My plans were to just work for a few years and go back to school, but once I got in, I liked it so much I did all my post secondary part-time. So I frequently joke that I did another 15 years of post secondary education after high school heh. (St. Lawrence & Queen's). I get funny looks and actually had some people ask if I kept failing. Too funny. So I bought a house in the down town core of Kingston and settled in. Never married so no kids, except for a 12 lb Jack Russell and am just about to start my 25th year with the Ministry working as a Sr. Business Analyst. I am counting down towards retirement . Well my first one anyway. I went looking for my yearbooks, but I guess I put them in a really safe place as for the life of me, they are no where to be found. I have run into many people from school here in Kingston over the years, the last one being about 9 months ago. It always amazes me as everyone seems to recognize me instantly, but I often look back with this blank look on my face. I guess I had a little too much fun in my high school years . I had to laugh at the "walking the gauntlet" comment. I had the great fortune of having a locker in the Ghetto from 79 onwards. I had to do that walk on a daily basis. I remember tripping over cracks in the floor on a frequent basis. That was brutal! So that is me in a nutshell. What can I say.. Life is good. Carol

Don't worry about remembering names Carol, I'm terrible for that. I also don't have a year book kicking around so it's hard for me to put faces to names. We went to Bayside at the same time and if I recall you had blonde hair and a big smile. Did you live on base? I think I did a bit too much partying in high school so the faces are fuzzy...thank god those days are over, I don't think I could handle that any more..haha.

Good to see more of the latter group of BSS alumni signing on, those kids who followed myself and sister Jane after we graduated in 76 & 77....the one's who went to school with Teresa and Carroll. But Ailsa, sign up and join the BSS club. Did you not have an older brother who I went to school with, Mark? What happened to your yearbook? It's nice to have the book nearby and then peruse it after seeing names in the posts. There's a lot more out there who'd I'd like to see sign-up. Ready for a 35th reunion?
