June
25 , 2007 :
The reunion was an incredible success and a good time was had by
all. We know over 1,300 people attended and our dance, beer tent,
decade rooms and the whole school were filled with memories, laughter,
and good times.
Just one of the events at the reunion, the beer tent, where we also
hosted the Sultans of String (with Chris McKhool, 1987 grad) and
Hume&Orchestra (all band members Fisher grads - Doug Hume (bass),
John Jastremski (lead guitar), Daniel Jackson (guitar, acoustic),
Randy Innes (drums), and John Gillies on keyboard). The tent, 40'
x 100' by 19' high, complete with three chandeliers, was a big part
of the weekend and enjoyed by all.
Journal of this
site
- 25-11-2002 - Bob Dagenais and his wife are murdered. Many friends

the wonderful times they had with Bob and at Fisher Park. The idea
of a reunion for all years is born.

is functioning. Initial email addresses are activated. Initial content

are up there now.

we have a planning meeting at the school at 7:00pm on January 24,
2007.

a core planning committee to ensure all components of the reunion
