Are You Interested in a Reunion? -
The anticipated date for the reunion is Victoria Day Weekend - 2002
I haven't been back to Chateauguay in 20 years, so I don't know what type of facilities are there.
If anyone would like to take on the responsibility of checking out sites for the reunion,
i.e. Rustik Restaurant, Sugar Shack, Alibi Pub, etc., I welcome them.
Please let me know what type of function you would like to have, i.e. dinner & dance,
cocktail party, social gathering. Do you really want to just settle for anything when you
could have a hand in planning it.

Bios -
Erica (Tester) Bent:
Shortly after graduation, Erica moved to Toronto and then to PEI, where she lived for 20
years. After the death of her husband in 1992, she relocated to the west coast and now
lives in North Vancouver with Keith, her husband of 5 years. She is the mother of two
grown sons and three grandchildren - all of whom live on the east coast, giving her a good
excuse to travel back there. After working in the travel industry, Erica now works part time
in the family accounting business and also tries to have time for her crafts. Erica is
responsible for the Website she created for Chateauguay High and likes to putter on the
computer whenever she can.
Marilyn (Darlington) Bullen:
Marilyn has been living in Newfoundland since 1973 and recently retired from the RCMP.
The now single (and loving it) mother of two grown children has started a new career in
private investigation and security. In her spare time she likes to garden, do crafts and
look after her Old English Sheep Dog "Murphy". She also has her own craft business
"Murphy's Mom".
William Hulshoff:
After leaving Chateauguay High, Bill went to SGWU for a BA in Psych. After a year in Europe,
he returned to Montreal to take a position at Douglas Hospital as the Director of Therapeutic
Recreation. He went back to grad school in '77 for a MSc in Outdoor Rec. from grad school
in Cortland, New York. He was Rec. Superintendent in Calgary for a few years. Returned to
NY to work on post Olympic operation plans after the '80 Olympics in Lake Placid. Since
then he has retired, gone into buying property, renting apts., and buying more. Bill spends
most of his time enjoying the area lakes and mountains while dabbling in local politics. "Tomorrow
is a new day and everyday has become a fun adventure."
