Linda Molnar

My brother and I went to SHS back in the sixties.  Actually I was at
Mitchell  and only went to SHS for one year before we went to Montreal.
That was the last year for the school because we were all going to go the
Regional school.  My brother, Paul Molnar was on the basketball team and
the chess club.  I think that was in 1965-66.  Anyway, if anybody who
went there in 1967-68 remembers a Linda Molnar please send me a note.

Linda's  email: ratwork@cris.com

(Hi to all from Dave Cox. I attended Mitchell '62-'63 and SHS '63-'67.
Heard about this site from Fred Silny in Los Angeles. We hung out just like
old times when I lived there in '84-'86. Have lost touch with most old
schoolmates, but did visit Margot Campbell in Buffalo, and have heard from
Renee Kessler, Alan Jones, and Jim Westerman. Gordon Loomis was living in
Halifax but I haven't seen him in years.
Quick recap of the past 31 years or so: Went to McGill for a B.A.  Started
an M.S.W. degree at Dalhousie in '71 and finished in '75 after 2 years
working in P.E.I. Have worked in the Mental Health field since then - which
may amuse some former schoolmates and teachers - first in a general
hospital and then 19 years at the Atlantic Child Guidance Centre in
Halifax. Got another Masters and became a Psychologist along the way. Took
a severance package - alas, not retirement! - in late '96 and am now in
private practice specializing in Psychological Assessment. I love doing
assessment and no longer doing treatment, but don't like the business side
much.
Personally:  Have loved the Maritimes since my first exposure in '68, and
couldn't imagine living anywhere else. I finally married in '81, and got it
right the second time in 1990, 2 days after my 40th birthday. Became a
stepparent in the process and, in 1995, a step-grandparent,
which seems more palatable to my self-concept than being called a
grandfather.

UPDATE:

Not much to add in terms of personal news. I'm still in private practice as a Psychologist. Got through Hurricane Juan in the Fall of 2003 with less damage than many people, although our power was out for a full week. Called Fred Silny in Los Angeles in the middle of it so he could hear what a hurricane sounds like. I now have two step-grandkids, Nicholas (going on 9) and Rianne (pronounced Ryan - going on 4). I don't ski or scuba dive any more - my new expensive and dangerous habit is riding my motorcycle (Suzuki Volusia 800), like all the other 50-something males seem to be doing nowadays.
I'd love to renew some old friendships. Please email me at
cox@coxbeaton.ca .  My home address is 6321 Edinburgh St., Halifax
N.S. B3L 1W3. Phone: 902-454-2535. À bientôt.

The last reunion was excellent it was wonderful to be able to see so many old friends from Mitchell, SHS, St. Pats & MND.  I have been looking for Kathy Richardson-Smith for the past few years and would be greatful to anybody who could tell me how I might contact her.  I am alive and well in Ottawa now, via Montreal, Vancouver, and Toronto.  Hoping to be able to arrange to get to Sherbrooke this time as well.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Learned my chops on Jerry Lee and Fats at Hi-Y dances 56-58.  Spent 12 years in the RCAF after SHS  before I realized how much I loved radio.  I'm Rev. Garlands son . St. Andrews Presbyterian is now a parking lot  and the old Manse where I grew up on Portland Ave. is now" La Vieux Presbytere"..a nice B&B. Anybody know what happened to Judy Young?

Ken MacRae

I attended Mitchell school and SHS for one year in '52-'53 and would have graduated in 1956. My memory tells me I had many great friends growing up in Sherbrooke and if anybody remembers me I would like to hear from them. I left Sherbrooke in 1953 and moved to Vancouver. I now live in Calgary after stops in other Canadian cities. Sherbrooke was a great place to grow up and I have fond memories I would like to share.

Colin Jardine

Are there any class reunions for the class of '45? After completing Grade 12 @ Granby in '47 I indulged in minor hell raising until entering Queen's in '51 and graduated in Mining '55. Until retirement I disappeared into the mining world and then returned to the Townships. Currently involved in x-country skiing, ski-dooing, beekeeping, reforestation, travelling & odd off-shore assignment.   Interested in meeting '45 graduated to compare war stories.

I attended Sherbrooke High School and graduated in the class of 1954-1955. SHS was a great school with great students and teachers. I especially think of "Doc" Porter, Gerry Rockwell and Royce Gale to name a few. I have been retired since December 1990(early retirement) and am now living in Kitchener On., after spending time living and working in both Montreal and Toronto. I am doing work here as an Employment Consultant with a non-profit Community Relief Agency in downtown Kitchener.UPDATE: I have now retired my position as an Employment Consultant in Kitchener, but I haven’t stopped working. I am now a School Crossing Guard for the City of Kitchener. The best part of the job is the 2 month summer holidays!!

Have yourself a great day, unless you've got other plans.

Hi there, I ended my stint at SHS in 1967, and am looking for John Williams, who lived on Russell Street. John and I roomed together for 3 years at UNB in Fredericton.  I ended up in Toronto - John somewhere in eastern Quebec (Gaspe) I believe.  Does any have an address for him?

Leonard Ryan here, graduated 1955. Does anybody know anything about the Class of 55 reunion? Or, duh, have I missed it?

Anyway,  I am retired, living on the beach north of Powell River BC. Spent the last 10 years before retirement as a commercial diver and SCUBA instructor. Lots of adventures before that. Now watching the grass grow,  kayaking and motorcycling some.

Dave Neilson


I attended SHS after graduating magnum cum laude from Mitchell School in
1952. I quit SHS in 1953 after verifying some of the teachers really did wear
Nazi SS uniforms under their three piece tweed suits. Then there was the principal, Mr. Gibson. I
believe his nickname was "Hoot." He was a nice guy, a real gentleman. After
being thrown out, I mean leaving SHS I bummed around for a few years and then
went south and joined the Marines where I remained for 23 years. After that
I went into the film industry where I still am today and when I'm not
producing films, I'm on my ranch in Southern California where I raise Arabians and
Thoroughbreds. Hey! We can't all be teachers pet. Dave Neilson

Update:

 

It is good to see that this site is still up and running.  Since last writing I have retired from teaching  after 33 years in the classroom.  I am now living in nrothern New Brunswick near Campbellton.  I still go back to New Carlisle frequently and my house is for sale.  I have bought a beautiful ranch style house with a million dollar view of the Restigouche River opening into Chaleur Bay.  Marriage plans are in the work.

  Alive and well in Southern California. The entertainment industry has been very good to me. It all stems from the "variety shows" that we organized at Mitchell School and other venues in 1966 and 1967 (I think). It was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. Still learning . . .

Rod Hatch

I went to Mitchell and then SHS, graduating in 1965, from SHS with the assistance of a sympathic teacher that gave me a passing grade! After working a short time in Sherbrooke I moved to Montreal and worked at several jobs there including The Gazette, Chrysler parts warehouse, and Pratt & Whitney. I remember lots of names from the old days, Victor Bennett, Mike Vallee, Mike Wilcox, the Oxford boys and many more. Some of which have passed on. I am now in New Brunswick for last 10 years and work for Canada Post for last 8 yrs. The Maritimes is a nice place to end up in. I use to come this way every year for vacation, back in the day, never knowing I would some day end up here. I get the Sherby News from George Hendy, and its getting to be sad news of someone passing on and also good news of someone's birthday. It is nice to see names here of old school mates and where they are now.)
