Hard to think of Wurster as a lumberjack when i can remember him taped to the wall at Bayside! He was a fun guy... will always remember him coming to parties with a bottle of "Victor" wine, which was a very potent homemade wine made by his neighbour Victor. Victor gave the Wurster parents a bottle of wine on every special occassion (ie, Christmas, etc.) but they never drank it so they had a huge stock of it, which Mike helped himself to on occassion.

Ruth....it's funny about our perceptions or recollection of people when we were 14, 15, 17, 18....and how we've all changed by time we've reached 27, 37 or 47. Are we looking/acting more likeour parents? Howie Dell (or Howard now, the actor) and I were talking about that when I was at his CFL camp with the Toronto Argos. Who'd have thought the skinny kid from BSS who used a bench to help me jump off the wall and attempt to slam dunk the ball in the BSS gym. Mr. Smith, VP, and a high level football official, told Howie he'd not make it as a football player. But there he was with the Argos as the old Skydome. I first met him years later while covering a York U and McMaster U CIAU (now CIS) football game in North York. The announcer said a received was injured and his name was Howard Dell....I went over wondering if it was our BSS classmate....and sure enough, there's this big, tall, strapping Mac player in maroon....with a "deep" voice. You saw Howie in the face, not the body. But he recognized me right away....I was still short. , but had more facial hair. Funny where you might run into a former classmate or fellow BSSer. We chatted after that game....then he was off for his Olmypic bobsled training. And of course the 20th anny....where some guys had gone totally bald, yet had lots of hair in high school. Or those girls who most guys would not have noticed, the "ugly ducklings", were there and had transformed into beautiful women. But then again, chaning glasses, hairstyles and clothing can really help, not unlike a makeover. Some alumni had put on weight, or lost weight. Or had children in tow, too. (like you). I think all five of us Xavier brats are still the same...I've just lost hair and filled out finally, not weighing 112 pounds anymore and eating five burgers at a setting (I had that hollow leg when I'd eat like a linebacker back in high school, but never gain any weight). So, Mr. Wurster....the skinny kid finally filled out as he got older....and a lumberjack from our neck of the woods...too funny. Too bad more people are not posting photos on the website to share. Hint, hint....dig out the family portraits....share your family with classmates. And your kids....maybe another photo page called WHAT WE LOOK LIKE NOW.....and our extended family. jsx

Hi Jules. I just want to responde to your comment on submitting photos to this site. While I send pictures to friends directly by internet, I'm always reluctant to post them on the web where there are no "trust" rules. I work with the internet and am aware of it's extraordinary ability to bring people together but also to take away privacy, and worst case, expose people to risk.
In theory anyone in the world can access this site and any pictures of me or my family which might be here. I'm not comfortable with that, though many are. As you know, in the main-stream media, people usually have to authorized their photo being used in a publication. I choose to follow those same principles on the net and think of what I'm doing as "publishing" rather than "sharing".
Just one perspective.
Ruth

Oh MY was that him? I heard his name (Howard Dell) a few times and never associated with someone I knew.
That was back when we lived in Blue Bomber country I think I was the only one in Winnipeg who didn't see a football game ;D

I ran into Suzanne in PEI maybe around 1998 while we were on vacation. We were on the monorail at Rainbow Valley and I saw her below and called out to her. She was married with a little baby boy then and living in Ottawa. Can't remember her last name. She hadn't changed though.

Hi all,
I am hoping to make contact with anyone who attended BSS from '89 to '94 and others as well. There were some good times and bad, as most years in high school are, but Bayside was definitely unique in its structure and I have not seen anything quite like. These P3 schools in Nova Scotia don't even compare and they are supposedly state of the art. Good to hear that there might be a reunion.

Welcome aboard Brad Tripp....what and where is your sister?
And what's transpired in your life over the decades that have passed so quickly?
Pass this site on to you sibling and any friends from BSS you've kept in touch with.
