Bruce Hansen:  

Life Fifty five years since I graduated highschool. Just seems like yesterday. I spent 33 years with a major industrial distribution company, started as a truck driver and wound up being marketing manager for the B.C. region with 38 branches.

Others that are still alive and happy are: Sandy Dawson, Bob Graden, Audrey Lund, Ron Marriot, Diane Cutler, Larry Atkey, Bob Whyte, Bob Schultz, Margaret Spooner, Joanne Godard. Hope I haven't forgot anyone. Although not through Classmates, but for those that grew up in north east Edmonton in the 50's, I have had business dealings through out my career with Terry King and Mike Shostak (both St Joes).
