Hey Fellow Alumni,
This is Eric Batie, it's been a long time, 25 years, WOW. Most of you don't know that in 1980 I moved to Erie PA, with my parents. I attended Edinboro University of PA for 2 years. I since worked for several companies before I finally settled into a career in furniture sales. For the past seven years I have been with The John V. Schultz Furniture Company, of which I am one of the top five sales consultants and doing very well. My brother and I are still Disc Jockeys also, which tends to keep me very busy. Well back to work. See you all in August. E

I moved to Mississauga on Dec 30, 2003, due to my husband's employment relocation, but lived in Pierrefonds all my life before that. Actually, we lived for 14 years very close to Riverdale. I'm a Personal Banker, soon to be Financial Planner, working for the past 18 years for the National Bank.   I have been married for 16 years, but with my guy (Brian)7 before that.  We have two great kids, Brandon who is 9 and Dayna is 8.  Life is hectic...We're moving again on April 30th to Heart Lake, which is a subdivision north of Brampton.  Coming back to Pierrefonds in August will be a true vacation...see you all then!

I attended Riverdale from 1974-76 when we then moved to Markham, Ontario (and
actually ended up with people I knew from Montreal at Markham High). I am now
married (26 years) and have 2 children - 19 & 20. We have been living in Ajax, Ontario
for about 23 years, and spent 7 years of that living in the Middle East. We have been
back in Canada now for 5 years, and I would be interested in renewing old friendships from the
brief but good times at Riverdale.

Upon graduating from Riverdale, I attended 1 yr at John Abbott and then 4 years at Queen's University, graduating with a BSC Chemistry. I have worked in Peace River, Alberta (85-87), Kingston, Ontario (88-92),
Mississauga(92-98) and in Tennessee (98-04). My wife, two daughters and I, are now relocating to Phillipsburg, NJ where I will work from home calling into the cosmetics/personal care industry for Eastman Chemical Company where I have worked for 12 years in marketing and sales.

"I graduated Fashion Design at LaSalle College in Montreal in '86 whereupon I worked in the Garment district for many years. After answering an add in the Gazette and accepting a position  for a skiwear designer in '92, I headed West to Saskatoon(where I met Gord, my husband). Never one to avoid a challenge or change, We later agreed to go into the far north of the province where I headed a an economic developement project in Ile a La Crosse, setting up a garment production facility. Well you can take the girl out of the city etc so eventually I and my husband of (presently) some 12 years decided to headed for greener, and noisier, pastures. And we packed up kids and sundries and moved to Edmonton. I teach Fashion Design at Marvel College, Marca Colleges out East. We are still moving in and will be calling it 2 years in September. My man is not capable of speaking French, (and there are no oil wells to drill in Qc) so returning to Montreal is not realistic, but we are really looking foward to seeing everyone. "

I left Quebec in 1980 after one year of CEGEP to study computer science at U. Waterloo.  I've worked as a programmer since, moving around to such places as Toronto, L.A., Ottawa, Helena Montana (!), and Austin Texas.  I co-founded a small software company in Texas and returned to Canada (Toronto) in 1997.  There I met Sari and we married 2 1/2 years ago.   Just last year we moved to Ottawa, bought a house, and plan on staying put.

From Riverdale, I went on to John Abbott and then on to thirteen years at McGill, doing Mech. Engineering, Medicine and Radiology.  Besides school and odd jobs, Paule and I married in 1991.  Since then, we have moved from Montreal to Sudbury in 1994 and then to Windsor, Ontario seven years ago.  Our boy and girl, aged 11 and 9, keep us quite busy.  We like to travel when time allows, but we are pretty settled here with work and home.  We still manage to visit Montreal or Ottawa twice a year.  Seems a few alumni have wound up in the southwest Ontario banana belt.   Thanks to Lydia and company for all the reunion/alumni work

In the summer of '77 I moved with my family to Newport Beach, California, where I have lived ever since.  I am married with two kids, aged 8 and 6, and I work in finance.  Although I graduated high school in California, I never forgot Montreal, where I was born and raised. I am eagerly awaiting the reunion - kudos to Lydia and all the others for arranging it!

Although I only attended Grades 7 & 8 at Riverdale before transferring, I do have some fond memories. Since then, I've travelled quite a bit and have lived in six cities from east to west, but you never really get Montreal out of your system, do you? Now that I'm home again, I write for a newspaper, I'm engaged to a woman from Alberta and own a dog who was born, as far as I know, in Quebec.

Since graduating Riverdale, I have lived a very blessed life.  Working as an accountant had taken me all over North America, finally settling in Atlanta.  I have 6 kids, 2 grandkids, and have just started a wonderful second half to my life, my marrying Summer Foxen, who was my very first girlfriend, back in grade 8, some 30 years ago.

Elizabeth Van Blaricom rmathieson9ATcogeco.ca

I left Quebec summer of '79 and moved back to Ontario.  I was married in 1982 to my husband Ron Mathieson.  Ron and I will be celebrating 24yrs of marriage this September (2006).  We moved to a smaller community on beautiful Lake Huron, in Sarnia, Ontario.  We have 3 daughters Kathryn '85, Sarah '86 and Jessica '89.   This has been a good place for us to raise our family.  I love to be in our gardens and being outdoors with our family. We love to travel.  We lost my mother December 2003 to cancer.  We have lived through the sadness of death and now we have the joy of new life.  Our oldest girl gave birth October 2005, to a beautiful baby boy.  We are so in love with him.  He has brought a lot of joy to us.  Our second daughter will be married summer 2007.  So we have our youngest daughter left at home now, and we are savouring the time.  Life is great!

Left Montreal in 1986 for Southwestern Ontario and settled in Sarnia...a small and beautiful city on Lake Huron. Enjoy a career in healing and esthetics, concentrating on spa life. Single, with two sons 12 and 16 years old. Travel, cooking and the outdoors are my hobbies...amongst other things, I camp and kayak and cook gourmet meals. I enjoy a wonderful life full of passion, energy and surprise. I am looking forward to coming "home" and connecting with high school friends and those of you who I never got to know well but wish I had spent more time with. More focused now than back then!! Be well and see you all next year!

I now live in Georgia (hey, Phil Trickey!), Roswell to be exact.  It's
rained for 19 straight days so I can't brag about the sunlight, only the
humidity.  I'm happily married, my daughter moved with me 8 months ago and is adjusting beautifully (except for missing her old friends).  I'd love to hear from school buddies anytime they'd like to write.  Have a ball at the reunion.  I'd be there but old uncle sam hasn't issued my travel visa yet.

Tom Wridolin wridotAThotmail.com

Single. Never married. No kids. Playful. Too far gone?  There appears to exist a drug with my name on it. I started university in Chemistry - I finished with a BS degree in Physics. I left Quebec in 1991 and moved to Canada. But I can't read the signs here anymore. My career has spanned developing pharmaceutical, aerospace, military and automotive gear. Reality is that I didn't learn anything useful in school after high school.  Success is self-taught.
But the irony of situation is that I'm borderline Luddite.
