The hardworking co-chairs of the organizing committee, who pulled the strings and were ultimately responsible for making the reunion such a resounding success. Artist's impression of Reunion Committee
Arranged for us to use the University Club and hosted the fabulous brunch on Sunday morning at her home atop the western mount that gives Westmount its name.
Treasurer and exceptional organizer. Many of us found that the surest way to get something done was to ask Randi if she would take it on board.
CEO (Cheif Entertainment Officer) who had the difficult task of coordinating the artistic input from so many talented people, and who was ultimately responsible for making the show on Saturday afternoon such a truly unforgettable occasion.
Playwright, actress, singer, fountain of ideas. Saundie was the inspiration for, and prime mover behind, the "2059 Reunion Skit". Since Saundie lives in Montreal, whereas Jack lives in Seatle, Saundie also served as Jack's eyes, ears and hands during the run-up to the reunion.
Professional entertainer who put her formidable skills at our disposal. Florence and Saundie bounced ideas off one another to make the skit such a delightful experience for everyone—entertainers and entertained alike.
Director of music. Since Doc Jones couldn't be with us, Mary agreed to step in, and filled the role admirably—not only organizing the singers and musicians, but providing some of the music herself with her expertly played recorder.
Our first Entertainment Officer, who unfortunately was not able to come to the reunion, but who started the ball rolling. We all missed you, John.
Registrar. Jill was the one who kept track of us all: who was coming—and who hadn't paid their fees. A demanding task which Jill did cheerfully.
West Coast coordinator and hospitality organizer. None of us can have failed to be affected by Joan's contagious enthusiasm.
Claudia & Will single-handedly produced the magnificent 2009 Torch, which will continue to increase in value as new bios are added. What a great idea it was to use a loose-leaf binder! (Claudia protests that several people helped out with collating the reams of paper emerging from her printer, but that doesn't alter the fact that the brainwork was done by herself and Will single-handedly. OK—double-handedly.)
Rick and Dave should really be right at the top of this list. Probably half of the classmates attending the reunion would not have been there if it hadn't been for the hard work these master detectives put into perusing university year books, combing the WWW, phoning innocent people, who happened to have the same name as a missing classmate, and generally making nuisances of themselves on our behalf. Our thanks, to both of you!
Monty (Don) MacLean
Webmaster. Monty played a small roll off on the side, maintaining the MRHS59 website and keeping us informed. However, he played no part in planning the reunion, and was as plesantly surprised as everyone else at how well organized everything was!
