Woburn CI Alumni GuestbookWelcome to the Woburn CI Alumni Guest Book! Kevin Bazak Bowmanville, Ont Canada - Sunday, November 21, 2004 at 18:36:25 (EST)
Well, just a couple of comments for me for now. Cheers to you Kev, for coming up with the idea of this site! *Throws confetti* for doing a really great job on the site yourself! It's looking great. I really hope we can use this forum to close the gaps that filled the years between then and now, to meet new friends, reminisce with old, and just have a whole lot of fun!!
Hello All!
Hope to connect with some "ole" friends!
Kevin:
Thanks for setting this up as all who visit will get something from it and be able to pass on memories to other friends and classmates. Your work is very much appreciated!
Kudos to the person(s) responsible for this site. As an "original" and as the parent of a couple of grads, I'm very pleased to see that the "Woburn tradition" is alive and well. Keep up the good work and I'm certain that the memories and contributions will start flowing in.
My brother Bob told me about this site. I am so excited about it!! I hope to hook up with some good "old" friends. Feel free to email me. I will be sure to let any of my alumni friends know about this site. CHEER CHEER CHEER FOR WOBURN!!!
I Just finished looking through this great web site. The
picutes are great, alot of faces I recognize but having a senior
moment having trouble remembering the names. Thanks to Mr.F. for
the great pictures,keep them coming. Please keep up the great
work on this web site. One picture that needs to be on there is
Mr.Cook, gym teacher in his shorts, sexy legs back then. Seeing
Mr.Cook in those shorts made the girls day. Thanks to Cathy for
posting the web site.
Great idea to start this web site........kudow to the originator i am an alumni from 67-71 and had some great years at woburn
i was saddened to hear of mr eubanks 'passing......... a great first principal of woburn There seem to be several Woburn alumni in the Peterborough
area. Kathy Chapman, Ken Murphy, and Jane Guest was here but I
am not sure if she still is. There are others whose names will
come to me later no doubt. In any case it's interesting to see
how quickly we are finding this alumni section, and also the time
of year that it occurs to us to search Woburn! My dad was one
of the people who started Curran Hall Tennis Club. This got me
wondering whether, "if we returned to our old neighbourhoods and
started knocking on doors, whether we would find ANY families
still living there"??? would love to hear from Woburn Alumni,
especially people connected with Urbania, or the trip to Italy
in '71. Best wishes all! Thank you so much to those of you that have put this website
together. It was so great looking at the photos (especially since
mine is on the home page!!!!!) I was very sad to see the people
that are no longer with us. I knew some of them well while attending
Woburn. Again, Thanks Beverley Lane
What a great website! I actually remember some of those photos from my old year books. Although the names allude me some of the faces I recall. Those were the days in our lives that helped to shape our futures. Again, thanks for the step back in time. Mr. Flahiff keep dusting off those old photographs. Kevin: As i said before,this is a labour of love, and, I
think I speak for all alumni, students and staff, in thanking
you for this effort. So, dear friends, raise a glass to the wonderful
last decades of the 20th century. We were really cookin' then,
and, as the director of education, Earl Campbell described us,
we were the flagship school of the Scarborough board. sadly, those
times have come and gone, never to return. The province has levelled
the schools to warehouses for kids. I recognize so many of the
names and photos on this site, and I'm filled with a fond nostalgia
for those great times. I miss you all. love, JW I did not go to Woburn but knew a lot of people from the
school. Still keep in touch with some, but there are a few out
there I would still like to see and talk to. I would like to thank
the person who put this site together. The photos in the gallery
were great.
This is a great site and a great idea! I am looking forward to seeing the Woburnite community grow on the site. Great site!!!! I was able to get in touch with a few old
friends which made my day. I just found out about this site and think its absolutely
fantastic. I was saddened to come upon so many who have passed
away. Life is passing by to quickly. It's great to see so many
people signed up here and I look forward to seeing many more.
Thanks for putting this together Kevin. You have done a great
job! Cheers, Lynda
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It is an amazing thing you have done here, letting us all live a bit of nostalgia and perhaps meeting up with old friends. Those days in Woburn seem so far away but they still fill me with such warm and happy memories.
What a wonderful site! Thank you for all of the work you have put into creating this. Woburn was such a great experience and it is so nice to see the faces of old friends and acquaintances.
Just found out about this website,figured I would just add my name
Thanks to those that put this website together. It is great!
Love to hear from any friends from Woburn.
Dave
My sister mentioned the site to me yesterday while I was in Toronto. I have now spent the last few hours browsing through the site. So many memories come flooding back while reading the various posts and looking at the pictures.
Many thanks for your work in putting the site together..I'll check back in again soon.
PS: Nice first name!
Wow!
A great deal of work went into this site. Excellent job! Looking through this site brought back a great deal of memories, both good and bad... Anyways, keep up the great work. I wish more ex-Woburn students visit. I will spread the news through the former WCI Students living here.
Oz...
I found out about the site from the Classmates website - I have alot of good memories of Wobs, and have contacted a few thru that site - hopefully we will "reunite" some of the old gangs...lol. Kudos to the Creator of this site.
Cheer, Cheer, Cheer......
loved woburn, miss the people
From 1977 to 1980 Bruce Berthelot attended Woburn Collegiate in Scarborough. Bruce has been missing 1995 from his family's home in Leamington, Ontario. His mother, Theresa, is seriously ill and Bruce's family is desperate to connect with him. Some of his highschool friends included Barbara Angel and Toni Lupinacci. If you can provide any leads please contact me at cfranks@cogeco.ca. I'm his first cousin.
thank you

This website is fantastic! I just found out about it and sent it to all the people I graduated with who I have lost touch with! I can't wait to check back and see how everyone is doing and what they are up to! Just found out about this site - fabulous - good effort -
about time! I'll be a regular visitor, & I've already passed it
on! Love to hear from any alumni from 69-72
I look forward to an 80's reunion, hopefully it is in the works and we won't be too old to go to it!
Cheers Wow.....what a great site! It's so wonderful to see familiar
faces after all these years. Way to go Kevin! The site can only
get better and better!! Cheryl Phillips
Woburn was the Best, the people were even better! Looking forward to seeing some familiar
faces at the reunion in May. I am glad that I was referred to this website. I am sure
we all want to know what happened to all those people we went
to school with. It was one of the best times in our lives, and
I am glad I am still here to read about. Very sad to read the
memorials. Please keep in touch, all those from 1968-1971.
Interesting to see this site. Some of the names look awfully familiar, but then again the minds of the 60's gang are now pointed to retirement, if they can remember the way. Just and old POOG surfing' the net
Best of luck to all
Thank you so much Kevin for setting up this great web site. Sometimes I just scan over the student listing, and keep wondering what ever happen to..... my goodness, time sure has past. Getting close to the 25 year mark. Keep up the great work, and maybe I would get in touch with the past.
This is a great website...Great job Kevin...hope to get back in touch with those that I have lost touch with
What a great web site - i found out about it through classmates and will tell everyone I know from Woburn about it! It's nice to reminisce with friends from the past! GREAT JOB - I will be a regular on site! Hope to meet up with some friends/classmates from the PAST!
By design or circumstance, I think many of us drift away from our roots, high school being one of those roots.
I have found the desire in recent years to reconnect with some of those roots, and have done so through the Classmates website. Having this website however, will be far more personal for us all. I'll check in regularly, and will be pleased to get an email from any old friends.
Thanks Kevin, and all those involved in organizing the alumni activities. This is great! I am enjoying the past. I hope to contact
a few lost friends.
An excellent way to revisit some fond memories. Great site. Glad I visited. Keep up the good work Kevin,
your efforts are obviously appreciated by so many people. A few
other alumni that have passed on and would be fondly remembered
by many are Lynn Bambrick, Gerry Gillies, Kim Murphy, and Glenn
Williams (Eagle). Cheers... Thank you so much to the creators of the site. Excellent
job. I think back on my Woburn experience with fondness. Those
were the days. Hello to ol friends and classmates.
I hope to talk to any of my old buddies from 1986-1991.........I hope all is well...Life has been too good to me....God Bless.....
This is a fantastic site and congratulations to webmaster Kevin. It's nice to see so many of the 80's almuni checking in. It's great to see how well everyone is doing now that we're all grown up. Cheers!
Thank you Kevin for setting this up. It is a great way to find out how everyone is doing.
It would be nice to here from anyone. Where I live in Pickering there are so many people that went to Woburn. I am putting up a notice at our school regarding the two reunions.
Again, thanks
Talk about old times - anyone out there from the class of '78? Still have my best friends from Woburn (go Broad Squad)! I'm gonna go look for my year books right now! As one of the "originals",who would love to chat with my old
classmates, I think this website is a great idea. A lot of us
have lost touch over the years,and it would be nice to talk over
the times-both old and current. Well done,Kevin! Kevin, Thank you for this site! I've been wondering whatever became of
. . . lately and now I have a feeling I'm going to find out. I get a lump in my throat everytime I visit this site. That
OAC year went by way too quickly. I am just thankful to have had
to chance to have attended Woburn for the last three years of
high school and thank the webmaster for giving us all a place
to reconnect and reunite.
Came across this website....well done! Fond memories of what highschool used to be..
Scarborough Fair...football,basketball,gymnastics...Talent Show...and great teachers
and coaches. Mr. Wilcox..Mr. Glick...Mr. Henderson...Miss Phillips...Mr. Peacock
Old friends....too many to list. Any emails are welcome from anyone who remembers me
or my twin sister, Kerry. It is fun to reconnect to say hello and see how life has
treated us all! Cheers. Will take the time to join in the near future. Just wanted
to say thanks for giving those of us who don't live so close anymore
an opportunity to Re-connect and take a stroll down memory lane.
I really enjoyed my highschool years and graduated in 1977. It's
a great website. Thanks Lorri (Brown) Jesse
This is such an amazing site. The Woburn years were so long ago, but sometimes feel just like yesterday! I have so many great memories and love that there is somewhere to go and see what everyone is up to! Great job! Hey everyone....just want to know how everyone is doing and
hope to hook up with some lost contacts. What a fantastic website. Have really enjoyed surfing
through it again and again. Look forward to seeing many more folks
sign up to let us all know where they're at and what they're up
to. What a Wonderful Idea! Thank you to those who are working
on the Website. I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the
Reunion in May 2005 at The Embers. Greetings to all who walked those halls, climbed those
stairs, skipped, smoked, stood, sat, screamed. dreamed, schemed...and
many other things. Kevin has really put together a labour of love
from a short time period that I find myself thinking of often.
I hope to hear from you. Kevin, just wanted to thank you for taking this on. I
just found out about the website and have spent the past hour
going thru it. I look forward to reconnecting with some "ahem,
old friends". Reading thru this site brings back memories, I thought,
time had washed away. Many names strike a very familiar chord.
Looking at the list in " Memorials ", I can't help but
feel, both sad and blessed. Thank you Kevin, for taking us all,
on a journey thru the past! It seems to " fit " like
an old shoe. Greetings to the 67-71 crew members. Wonderful site. I’ve enjoyed looking at some familiar
names to see what everyone has been doing the past 26 years. I
can’t believe it’s been that long, time sure does
fly by. I was deeply saddened to recognize some of the names from
the “those gone before us” section, both students
and faculty. I was hoping for a long time that someone would take
the time and energy to put together a site such as this. Well
done. I’m looking forward to hearing or at the very least
seeing some posts and comments from old friends and fellow alumni.
Thanks for doing this… Very pleased to have a site to connect with former alumni
that isn't associated with a commercial site. Thank you for giving
us this wonderful opportunity! One suggestion I might make is
to create an ability to sort the list of alumni. Sorting by year
would be my personal preference, so those you went through school
with are easier to find. I think the ability to sort will become
more important as more and more alumni join the site. I wanted to say Thank You to Dawn and
Carolyn for putting together such an incredible night on May 14th! I recently was made aware of this site. Excellent job.
I have returned to Woburn at least once in the past 2 years to
present the Walter Kostric Memorial Scholarship and have marveled
at the changes that the "old school" has gone through.
Keep up the great work. Go! Woburn Go! Kevin, you must have graduated after me (1970) because
I don't recognize your name. Thank you for all the work you have
put into this, it really is wonderful. Oh my God! This website is amazing! I'm so glad I took
the time to go down memory lane. Those were the good ole days.
I can't believe it's been almost 20 years for me. I was hoping
to catch a reunion, but it looks like I just missed one, maybe
I'll catch the next one. Hope everyone that knew me is doing fantastic.
Would love to hear from anyone. Great site, I look forward to seeing it grow. Good to have a means to keep in touch with old classmates. Great Site Kevin, Thanks! WOW!!! What a GREAT website for us Woburnites!!! Seems
like only yesterday, instead of over 30 years!!! Thanks to all
of you who have worked so hard in putting this altogether for
us to relive our high school days. What wonderful memories! I
would love to hear from classmates -if anyone still remembers
me!!! It takes a special person to devote so much time and
effort to such an amazing project. I had to dig up my old yearbooks
while I scrutinized all of the entries. Is it only me or does
it seem like yesterday? Great job Kevin! Great site! I hope to find many old friends,and maybe
reconnect with a few. Time goes too fast. Fantastic Website! This is a challenge to all Ex-Woburn
students and teachers to utilize this website to it's maximum
potential. Keep those photos coming in!!!!!!!!!!!! Great web site,my brother Don told me about this.I read
through the comments and there are so many people I went to school
with on there.It's nice to have a way to keep in touch with everyone.
What a great idea! I was thinking about all the wonderful
people I taught and worked with at Woburn C.I. and stumbled upon
this web site. Now, perhaps I’ll be able to exchange e-mails
with some of you. I wonder what you are all doing now. I hope
you are well and happy. Jackie Cusack OMG! What a great site, Kevin!! I'm gonna spread the
word so more people can connect. Thanks!! Tonight I attended my 28th consecutive (and final) Woburn
Commencement. My old friend John Vernon put me onto this site and it
was great to scroll through the entries and to actually recognize
some of the "older" fellow alumni. Keep up the great
work Congratulations to Mr. Flahiff his retirement. He has
truly been an icon at Woburn with his years of service and all
the photos he had taken which he shared with so many of us. First of all, congrats Kev! What a great site, and so
well done! So glad there is finally an alumni listing. I cant believe
its taken me a whole year to find out about this! Cheers Wow, what a nostalgia trip. Thanks for the memories. Wow, it is great to see so many familiar faces and to
have names recal happy (mostly) memories. I was there from 1972
- 1976, my brother Ron Wheaton until 1978. I still see some of
the AV crew. It is hard to let go of memories. Ron passed away
in 1992 but we still keep in touch with a couple of friends. High
school was the best of times. It's exciting to have a venue to check out what happened
to everyone. I'll bet many people from Woburn have become extraordinary
doctors, actors, office managers, lawyers..... I can't wait to
read about old friends and see where everyone is in their lives.
Thanks Kevin for giving us that opportunity. I've just started exporing this site that you have put
all this work into and I can't believe everything that you've
put into it. I've already seen alot of familiar names that just
bring back so many great memories. I haven't finished looking
yet but I do hope that somewhere in here that there is some type
of contact information should anyone be organizing a reunion of
some sort. Selfishly I'd love to here of one for 1978-1982, but
heh that just me. Thanks again. A google search can turn up a lot of things..like this
site. I saw the entries of a few old friends and learned that
sadly, a couple of classmates and teachers had passed on. Wow, this is amazing. What a wonderful site and kudos
to all who paricipated in it. Was nice to see some familar names
also. Keep up the good work Hello All, Great idea, coming up with the site, excellent way to
catch up with old friends. Thanks Hey Kevin, Once again thanks for keeping this great web
site updated. I check in once and awhile, looking for a name that
I can put a face and or a story with. Makes me laugh. Gotta remember
that Wobs was a big part of everyones lives. Four years at high
school doesn't seem long, but when I went to the reunion, and
saw a few that I have known since grade one or before. Such a
special night. Hopefully there will be another day to get together
with past friends. Seeing over 100 friends in one night. Wow that
was the best. Thanks Again. Thanks for making this possible. What a great idea. I
saw names of people still here and some who are gone that brought
tears to my eyes. I will tune in you get bet that. I'm trying to get in contact with some former classmates
-- any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Rod Brown,
Bobby Orr, Kevin Taylor, Marilyn Oates, Ron Mark, Ann Uttley,
Doug Renwicke, Julie Millage, Mike Dudley, Curt Cunningham, Janet
Daniels, Jane Guest, Patsy Gosse, Susan Krasevec, Janet Ashberry,
Greg Harwood, Paul Zebrak, Kelly Ball & Mike Fox. Teacher
- Dave Johnson. Where are you guys??? Please contact Fran Johnson
at fwepost-woburn@yahoo.ca It's great to see some familiar names even if you can't
remember the faces. Great job on this site. "Woburn once,
Woburn twice, holy jumpin'...." It's great for an old sentimental geezer like myself
to see a website for dear Woburn. I'm looking forward to our 50th
in 2012/13, and hope to bring another Woburnite with me to the
REUNION. Cheers, Kevin, an awesome job with the site, and thank you for
bringing back some fond memories as well as reconnecting me with
some old friends and hopefully many more. I just wanted to show my appreciation toward some of
the best teachers I have ever come across, and that's counting
university professors. Stumbled across this site while googling for no apparent
reason. Fantastic. Hey hey fellow Woburners!!!!! Judy Gillies here hoping
to get in touch with some old friends. Please e mail me if ya
remember me........ What a great idea!! A local place to find old friends
and keep up with happenings with them. Thanks Kevin Great site
