| Comments: | Hi Everyone!!!! Nice to see that you are all doing well and succeeding! I am, yes STILL, in London keeping busy with my two boys, Christopher (7) and Andrew (5). Between skating, hockey, soccer, karate, homework........there isn't much time for anything else. I still work as a dental hygienist in 4 offices and keep my hand in at Fanshawe College as a program advisor for dental programs. Jon and I have been married for nearly 10 years now (he's a tolerant man!) and are living in Westmount. I hope this finds you all healthy, happy and well!!! Keep safe fellow Alma friends!! Cheers! |

| Comments: | Hello again, I have been looking for information about the college and I got into website where there are some pictures of the buildings as they are now. It is very sad to see that as it seems the classrooms and the gym are no longer there...Inside the halls there are no walls between the rooms...I almost cried as I saw everything all gone. It would be beautiful to have a site where we all could see all the beatiful pictures of the golden years!!! |

| Comments: | Hi all, I was Cathy Bradley and used to get in trouble with Lynn Klassen. (smile) Does anyone know what has happened to her? My first roomate was that nice little songbird Anita Baker from Petrolia. Next I shared a room with the passionate latin girl Enid Davila from Caracas. I am an RN working in Toronto. I have a BA with a major in psychology from Laurentian U. My little dog is the joy of my life. I don't know if you'd recognize me; I'm rather geeky now. (laughing) I still enjoy music. I'm divorced, but have not repossessed my maiden name. I've been rather poor at keeping in touch; however, I am going through a middle-age crisis of sentimentality as fondly remember dear old Alma. I'm 45 |

| Comments: | I really miss seeing the girls from the last year of Alma. The strike was a big toll on our school year at the time. I have been diviorced and now remarried. I also have 5 girls and one son. They all love to hear my Alma stories. Does anyone still have their uniform? I still have the complete set. My girls like to wear it sometimes. They can't beleive I use to wear that everyday for school. We didn't mind. I remeber wearing the boxers under the kilts on the hot days. Does any one know or talk to Alison Ellinor or any other girls from 1988 when the strike was on? I still have my white dress shirt that everyone signed. what ever happened to the 1987-1988 year book ? |

Would love to know how she is doing? I do hope that Alma College will not be destroyed. I have visited Alma quite a few times. Last summer I walked around the property and met Brian Squires, very nice man. He was very passionate about his restoration of Alma. |

| Comments: | Hello everyone. Kathie Bulloch and Cherie, I am especially pleased to see your names. I remember you both well. I don't know if you remember me. I have survived raising three boys between 17 and almost 30. I now have a two year old grandson. My husband and I are attending the reunion in Trinidad and Tobago and would love to see more of us for those crazy years of Woodstock and free love (no such thing of course). Hope that all are well. |

Great to see others writing in and keeping in touch. My roomate Denise Duchart (now Devenish) and I are still very close friends and we plan to do a trip to St. Thomas for old times sake. Sadly we won't be able to go inside but memories will come alive I am sure! |

On a happier note, six Carmen girls from 67/68 get together every year for a "girl weekend" also including Heather (Cleland) Kueneman, Jennifer Jordan and Shirley (Le Boutlier) Noury. Any others from our year? |

Came across this link (http://www.torontoghosts.org/elgin/alma1.htm) and got a kick out of it. Also found this guestbook again and thought perhaps others would be interested in the blurb. It seems news of poor Alma's plight has spread even here. |

There were doing an interview on the archives of Elgin County, which included a segment on Alma. They asked me if I would consider doing a short interview, which I did. It was just a couple of minutes, and I was lucky enough to receive a video. Following that, I went to Alma and talked at length to Brian Squires. He described his future plans. |

So sad to revisit the college - I took my daughter and her fiance last year to update them on things - I stood there and cried it was so beautiful in its days and what a shame. I had my wedding there 32years ago in the chapel and amphitheatre - it was so HOT that day. I was cleaning out some cupboards not too long ago and came across the ABC of Alma College. How times change. |

| Comments: | I understand by the paper that the archives are now open for viewing in St. Thomas. Any one interested may wish to take a look. When I visited the school ten years ago and looked at the grad picutres which were still hanging in the halls, a lot of the pictures were wrong - including mine. Anyone have ideas as to how we can get these corrected. Maybe this could be a project to get some of us back in touch with each other? |

I could not attend last year after the date was changed. I am especially looking forward to the one next year in Trinidad. I am wondering what has happened of late with the Alma property. I hope to see more old girls from my years at this years reunion. |

I think if we communicate on here who is planning to go... we might get a much bigger turnout. I mean I don't want to go if no one I know is there... So lets make it all or nothing..... Alma is in my heart and always will be.... But it was the ppl with me who shared in making the memories. |

Driving past Alma always brings a mixture of memories & emotions, as frankly, the best years of my life have been since I turned 40. I value the friends I made there, & value being impacted by girls who challenged my experiences and ways of looking at the world. I have fond memories of Mrs. Muirison, Miss Bell,Miss Miss Cutler, Miss Neely, and Dr Watkins. Would love to hear from anyone who attended/taught there betw '65-'70. |

To my surprise it was all boarded up. We wandered around the grounds and took pictures. My husband collected a few bricks for the garden. When we returned home he found this website. I was one of the "triplets" with Liz & Ollie. I am awful with recalling last names. Anyone who remembers those 2 years it would be great to have a reply. |

I was happy to hear that the building will not be torn down . It is being turned into seniors appartments. The "new"rsident will be a long term facility and the music building a medical clinic. The chapel is also going to be fixed up . It is sad to see the state the place is now though. |

I would love to see the place restored to be used for something - anything! Don't just let it sit there and rot! Even in it's vast state of disrepair, the interior still gives away hints of it's past beauty. I sincerely hope that Alma College is spared.... TMC. |

Now as I go past it and see what's happening to it now with it's broken windows, hanging gate, general disrepair and the silly signs posted that really make no sense to me, it makes me want to cry. |

Her stories about school are much like Donna Robertson's. Full of fun and intrique... but, no swords through the wall though! I recently spent the afternoon with Diane Ishida after not seeing her in 38 years. The years just melted away and we were right back in Carman House. Does anyone have any news from Pat Laws (Georgetown)? |

I think of you all often and wounder just where everyone is. Life just seems to be rolling by too quickly and the older we get the more we realize that there are some things we missed doing and this is one of them. Looking forward to hearing from any of you in the near future. |

| Comments: | Today I explored the college grounds with my friend. Even though it has been defaced by graffiti, the windows are all busted, and most entrances are boarded up, it is so beautiful. When we stepped over the train tracks into the yard, it immediately began to snow lightly, like magic. We weren't yet alive when the college was alive, but it's so old and glorious, it was as if we were remembering things that never happened to us. Please will someone tell us what it was like? We would be so grateful. |

| Comments: | Recently a group of us met with Brian Squires and his wife Kathy. They shared the vision of Alma College. He has no intention of demolishing the building. There is a petition going around St. Thomas as the city wants to put the new nursing home in the industrial area and we want the nursing home at Alma. We want the city to back up the plan Brian Squires has for Alma... IT WILL SAVE ALMA AND SAVE OUR ELDERLY! We need at least 10,000 signatures. Anyone out there who can help! |

This past week the International Executive attended a meeting at St. Thomas City Hall where Mr. Brian Squires gave a passionate speech/ plea to ask City Council to partner in saving the College. Unfortunately, they did not decide in his favour and so our "poor" colege's future will remain in limbo. Mr Squires can continue to search for a partner or sell to another individual who has already very successfully restored the St. Thomas Courthouse. Time will tell. |
