Graham & Randy – friends since Grade 2Charleen, Graham, IslayGraham & May (1990 reunion) – 38-years-old!Graham & May (2022 reunion) – as Graham says, “We haven’t changed at all!”Graham and Beverly Dodsworth, Randy and Gerda Simpson (Randy was Best Man at Graham and Bev’s wedding in 1972!)Group reunion photo – photo credit: Bev Dodsworth
Graham says, “Hey Kids…What a great job you did with the reunion evening. So much work and it all came off really smooth. I know from organizing car show events that if they come off smooth to the participants then there was a ton of work behind the scenes. It pays off. Bev & I had a great time and look forward to the next Grad event. We also look forward to seeing all the pictures that people took being posted on the webpage and/or the FaceBook site. Seeing Herb, Harold & Hugh there was incredible too. (Sorry misters Crawley, Braverman & Marshall). LOL. I think we had a great group of grads.”
