Comments:

I moved from Saskatoon directly after graduating and spent four years living in Toronto, and about a year touring North America with a folk-dance troupe.  After another year, which I spent living in New York City, I returned to Saskatoon to attend the U of S.  I married, had three children, Hudson, Bailey and Brienne, and studied psychology.  After completing my Master's degree, I worked in a school division just outside of Saskatoon for a number of years.  I have since moved to Regina, where I am a Regional Superintendent of Children's Services for the provincial government in the Ministry of Education.

During the development of the College of Psychologists in Saskatchewan, I participated by serving on the first Executive Council as President Elect, and then President.  I represented Saskatchewan in negotiating the Mutual Recognition Agreement  which  allows registered psychologists to have professional mobility across Canada.   After my term, I represented the College of Psychologists in the U of S Senate for about 4 years. 

I'm much lazier now, although I am a daily  patron at the Regina  Field House,  except Fridays when I make a point of meeting friends over a glass of wine.  I'm far too bossy to be married, and so have been divorced for over 20 years.

I'm looking forward to the reunion,  seeing old friends (who are you calling "old"?!), and catching up on life events of people who I grew up with at Bowman.

Hello everyone,
Can it be 25 years since I last entered the hallowed halls of Aden Bowman? My middle son was a newborn in 1983 - now married and over 6 feet tall, so I guess it is possible.

I left Bowman to attend the U of S. taking a year mid-degree to get a one year certificate in Biblical Studies from Providence Bible College south of Winnipeg (one of the coldest winters of my life!)

I returned to the U of S to finish my Honours English degree in 1977, and married my husband, Cyril Anderst, in November of that same year.

Since then, we have raised three fine sons, married two of them off, and have our "bonus" baby, David, still at home (grade 8).

We farm very close to the Alberta/SK border, just northeast of Medicine Hat. I have been an E.A. at our community school for 15 years, give or take a few for maternity leave! My two years as co-editor of the Aden Archer gave good training for eight years as yearbook advisor in our school.

We have fought a long and unfortunately, losing, battle to save our small school from the "economies of scale."

My attendance at the reunion will depend entirely upon the weather and the state of the crop, but I am certainly hoping that we can make at least one day.

Best wishes to the class of '72 and all my other acquaintances.

Looking forward to seeing and visiting with a number of the 68' grads and others, younger and older. 
I have a great family and have had an enjoyable, and sometimes varied, career. We have 3 kids (2 girls and a boy - now 36, 33 & 31, respectively) and 4 terrific grandsons (8, 5, 5 and 1). 
For most of my career I have been a graphic artist/designer - I started with CFQC TV working there for 8 years and was Art Director six of those years. We moved to Regina in 1980 when I joined Saskatchewan Wheat Pool's Corporate Communications Division. After 21 years of doing graphics, photography and producing training videos, commercials and advertising, I was downsized out and then spent a year in our Rail Logistics area and then a year in the Credit Department before deciding to take an early retirement and start up my own graphic design company. I did freelance work for about 3 years and at the same time picked up some additional work like acting in a number of documentaries - 'Crime Stories' & 'Disasters of the Century' - produced by Partners in Motion; some handyman/home renos; and, was a temporary maintenance man at the Delta hotel for 6 months. I worked full time for one of my clients, FarmPure Seeds, for a year and half in their marketing department before just recently going back to the Pool (now Viterra) and working in Rail Logistcs, again. Funny how things happen sometimes - I really didn't see this one coming - never thought I would be back there but I look forward to the challenges and rewards that life keeps throwing my way.
See you in August!

I'm living in Calgary with my husband Kirk Bacon. Between us we have fabulous 5 adult kids - 2 daughters & 3 sons, plus one darling grandson, 2 sons-in-law, & 2 daughters-in-law.  I've had a rather eclectic career since university, mostly in administration for a variety of Saskatoon businesses, including City of Saskatoon Recreation Dept., farm implement company, law firm, accounting firm, roadbuilding company, retail property management & SIAST.  Through the years, we were involved in lots of school & sports activities with all our great kids.  Married 4 out of 5 of them off in the past 2 years.  Keeping busy at home with special projects like this fun ABCI Reunion.  I'll probably be bugging almost everyone who shows up on this website, so GET READY !!!

Comments:
I attended Aden Bowman for only one year (Grade 9, 1971-72).  I was out of area, but my father had taught driver ed there and thought the world of Mr. Smyth, the principal.  I was upset that my father wouldn't let me go to Walter Murray, but within the first week, I was so happy to be at Aden Bowman.  Unfortunately, my father's work took us to Winnipeg.  I have always felf that my one year at Aden Bowman was the best year of my high school years.  I often wonder what path my life might have gone, had I graduated from Aden Bowman.

Comments:

Well I married  my high school guy Rob Bobowski (grad 1985) in October of 1987 we lived in Saskatoon Sask. for four years.  
As most of you know our oldest son was at my graduation, Corey now is 22 years old working hard and trying to deciede what to do. 
We had another son Michael in 1991 when we moved to Kelowna B.C. for a year or so. As family changes back to Saskatoon Sask. we went for a year.  Then moved to Regina Sask. from 1993 till 1998 I ran a day care out of our home for the five years we were there.  Rob with another new company, time to  move again this time to Prince Albert Sask. from 1998 to 2000 I worked at K.F.C. and superstore. In 2000 I was the manager of Corey's under 14 soccer team and they went to the summer games in Yorkon Sask. and come home with a bronze medal.  Well with another move this time to Calgary Alta.in 2000 I put my foot down and said we had to stay till Corey graduated in three years from grade 12. At that time Michael only had five year to go before he graduates so here we are still in Calgary Alta. Enjoying the stange weather and traffic Ha! Ha!
I know we aren't done with our moving as Rob still isn't sure what he wants to be.
 Where ever he goes I will follow as long as I like the place.

Hello! I am so excited about the reunion and looking forward to seeing so many of you!

I can't believe that it's been 25 years since the last reunion.
Since graduation I took time off before going to SAIT for a Library course in Calgary.  A little more time off before landing a job at the University of Saskatchewan at the Law Library where I spent 27 years before moving to the Main Library for year & a half.  This year I have retired from the U. of S.

I married in 1994 to Stan Briskar who teaches Driver Eduation - first with Sask. Valley (now Prairie Spirit) & then at the Saskatoon Public School Board.

See you in August.
