2011 Click here for Dave Foster's blog We're thinking of you Dave! January 14, 2011 2011 Hi there, everyone. Here's hoping that 2011 is a good year for you and your families and friends. It is great that we are all still in touch - and it was good to see the stalwarts at the reunion! All the best! Sandy Sandy Forbes / redoak@netspeed.com.au / Canberra, Australia January 19, 2011 Invading Your Website This is Jim McKeachie in West Vancouver...uncle of Sandy (McK) Forbes who is in far-off Canberra. Just found it fun to stumble onto this website and browse thru some names of families I knew from my up-bringing in Victoria---even tho' I was a Vic High student...then Vic College in Craigdaroch Castle. And, of course I keep in close touch with Sandy. This certainly is a great way to keep track of our younger days! Jim McKeachie jimmckeachie@shaw.ca / West Vancouver January 26, 2011 OBHS REUNION — MAY 14, 2011 Click here for info and registration details for the OBHS 80th Year Reunion. Event includes celebration evening at UVic and open house at school to view the 3D model and artist rendering of proposed new school. March 8, 2011 Sandy Forbes On March 7th Sandy advised me that she had just completed her last session with her dental specialist and hopefully ending her 6 month ordeal. She is now considering a well earned holiday. I am sure the rest of the class join me in saying we are glad to hear that you have mended Sandy. We will look forward to your next Victoria visit Richard Richard Goodall / goodallr@sunwave.net Click here for a 13-minute progress-to-date tour of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, scheduled to open in the spring of 2012 June 13, 2011 Obituary We are sorry to tell you that Gail Tippett Schofield passed away in December of last year after a lengthy battle with Parkinson's Disease.  This notice appeared in the Times Colonist recently while I was in the UK and therefore a small delay in getting the news to you.  She was a very enthusiastic participant in our class reunion of 2000 and again  at our 65th birthday celebration, where she joined us for the last time — Richard July 18, 2011 We Have Moved Well, after living in BC for so many years Marion and I decided to move from our home in Summerland. The largish(1/4 acre) was getting too big for us and after considering a lot of options we both agreed it would be nice to situate ourselves at a mid-point among family members. The city of Saskatoon was the best choice for us as we have family in Winnipeg, Sylvan Lake and spread throughout the province of Saskatchewan. The move took place at the end of May this year and we are both now very comfortable with our choice of location in Forest Grove located in the eastern part of the city near the old town of Sutherland which has been swallowed up by Saskatoon. Anyone from OBH who is living in the area or those visiting nearby please feel free to contact us by emailing at our new email address dickandmarion@sasktel.net Cheers to all Marion and Dick Kirk dickandmarion@sasktel.net / Forest Grove, Saskatoon July 25, 2011 Dana Garner I am pleased to say that I have located a lost classmate, Dana Garner Bourne. I hope to have her contact information entered in our Keeping In Touch section shortly.
