BETTY BAILEY & IVY PYE

Betty Bailey (Manning) For 34 years Bette has lived in New Westminster with Doug whom she married 46 years ago. Together they have raised 3 sons and 1 daughter and now are the proud grandparents of nine, aged 7 - 20. All the Manning �boys� and the grandchildren have turned into enthusiastic athletes just like the old folks. Like many of us, Bette�s extravagance is travel; she enjoys cruising - but oh those extra pounds! Her favourite journey was a bus trip in Europe, especially through England & Scotland. Memories of Jayo are many including playing basketball & winning (does anyone ever remember losing?) 2 softball championships. Bette remembers Miss Adams, Miss Campbell & Ruth Wilson & Friday night basketball games. If she has any regrets it would be not going into teacher training. Her last 50 years?: �worked for Canadian Advertising Agency & Greater Vancouver Water District, married Doug, raised 4 kids who are happily married and welcomed each of our 9 grandchildren with love. Kept in touch with Ivy, Ronnie & Jean. Leisure time spent camping with the kids, aerobics, playing bridge, travelling (Club Med, Tahiti).,cruising & touring � Europe, China, Palm Springs, boating on the Pye�s boat & volunteering with Meals on Wheels (30 yrs) as well as canvassing for a wide variety of charities." Bette has no motto other than �just being thankful for a close family, a good life & good friends.� And she would like to be remembered as a loving wife, mother & grandmother and a good friend. (No problem there.)

(Welcome back Blanche!) Besides losing her husband at a relatively early age, Blanche also regrets having to leave behind friends of 50 years. Although her working years were all spent 'away' it seems that Blanche maintained a soft spot for the west coast in that she reports that her favourite journey was a 1992 trip to Vancouver & Whistler with her family & in-laws. She has a daughter and a granddaughter as well as a surrogate granddaughter in Australia. For the rest of her life she plans "Fun Things!! � picking up where I left off 50 years ago � Latin, French & German classes at Jayo, number games & photography." As well as teachers and fellow students at J.O., Blanche particularly remembers all the sports and the "great J.O. spirit." Always the student, Blanche returned to McGill in 1978 for an M.B.A. and then continued to work in hospitals in Kingston & Montreal. She is a 'Friend' to both the Vancouver Public Library & U.B.C.'s Botanical Garden. Her motto is Have fun! Let someone else say 'NO!' & the old military command, K.I.S.S.!

I have 5 grandchildren, am happily married and want to say thank you to all my friends at Jayo for the wonderful memories." One of those memories was "running across Fraser St. to Music class & relaxing." Her big extravagance is having a facial & pedicure every 6 weeks. For the rest of her days Ella plans on "rest & relaxation, enjoying my family and friends." Her greatest regret was "my first marriage not working out and not having a support group in the 60s for my deaf son." Ella's motto is: "Give thanks and praise to God every day for your blessings." Unfortunately an allergy to perfumes will prevent Ella from attending the reunion, but she would especially like to say "hello" to Mildred Zindler, Rainer Zindler, Betty McNaughton, and Harold (Graham), "my graduation partner."
