What's New

We got this notebook from Rick McCharles. The booklet is square, about 6.5 inches per side. The cover is a folded-over piece of purple construction paper with a cutout of a viking pasted into the middle; there are five other pieces of folded construction paper, in various colours, that comprise the pages (four pages per piece of paper). If this sort of thing tickles your fancy, you'll be able to see the original at The VB2000 Reunion.

»	This is the time of year when we are supposed to be mushy. You know what a non-conformist I am. However, for this one time only I have decided to go traditional. I have known you since elementary school and I have always considered you to be a kind, loving, patient, bright, unselfish, forever giving of yourself, decent, upright and moral young man (if I keep going, it will sound like a eulogy - Miss Holtby style) but we all make mistakes. Thanks for being a part of my life and always being you. I wish you all the love and hope you will ever need to succeed. I hope to see you in University.

»	To the grads of '75 When we come back in the year 2000 and we remember all the good times with the bad. How Viscount Peyton Place started, maybe by then we will have figured it out (I doubt it). And we shall see everyone as they are and remember them as they were, the fun loving kids of '75 who would try anything once. Let's hope that we never change and that if we do it will be for the better without losing anything of our good humor and outlook on life. May we always [] the grads of '75. Love Nadine
