 | BILL FERGUSSON-Class 5Bill Fergusson
Still living in Chilliwack, Bill has been retired for over 10 years now after being a junior secondary school principal for 11 years. He and wife Betty have 2 children and 2 grand- children. He sums up his last 50 years this way: �Graduated from U.B.C. in math & physics, teacher training at Vanc. Normal, secondary teacher and administrator in Chilliwack from 1956 to 1989, then retirement.� When asked about his greatest extravagance, Bill responded, �we Scotsmen are never extravagant� (och, aye). His favourite journey was 6 weeks spent in Britain and the continent several years ago. He particularly remembers P.E. in the old gym (brrr) and Senorita Large�s Spanish class in Senior Matric. Bill claims that his happiness quotient never varies: �I can�t remember being happy or extremely unhappy. I guess ignorance is bliss.� For the rest of his days Bill plans a life of golf, bridge, reading and the occasional volunteer work. He would like to be remembered as �A good husband and father; a good teacher; and a good friend.� He has no regrets: �life has been good to me.� His motto? Carpe diem. Enjoy!� (We�ll drink to that Bill.)

 | MARGARET FIELDING-Class 31Marg lives in Kamloops and is married to Lorne "BUCK" Harley. We understand that a physical disability keeps Marg confined to a wheelchair. |
 | LORNE FINGARSON-Class 4Lorne Fingarson
After leaving John Oliver, Lorne graduated UBC with a Bachelor of Commerce. He subsequently led a very busy professional life which as he says, "provided both highs and lows." As President of a number of small to medium sized businesses he experienced both "the joy of success and the misery of failure." These experiences provided a foundation for 18 years at BC.I.T. in teaching and curricula development, educational administration, microcomputer support of academic programs, educational contract sales, and for a short period as Dean of Business. "A subsequent assignment to create a small business development program called the Venture Program probably represented the highlight of my business career and has proven to be a legacy. While nominally retiring from BCIT in 1993, my business life has
stayed active in consulting and educational small business development programs. I expect that these activities on a limited basis will continue." Family has always been important lto Lorne. "Marrying a second time added four additional children to the four I already had from my first marriage. The lives and those of our 14 grandchildren provide a constant source of joy and that will continue in our retirement years. The years to come will bring new and rewarding experiences. Both Pat and I, currently blessed with good health, live each day and each week involved with friends and family, looking forward to every activity with anticipation and pleasure, whether it be a trip to Arizona in the winter, or watching one of our grandchildren�s baseball games. John Oliver represented the academic foundation for my life. Several teachers, most notably Mr. Allen and Mr. Young assisted me to develop intellectual curiosity which has stayed with me all these years." (You sound like one lucky fella, Lorne.")

 | ROBERT FLEMING-Class 31Robert Fleming
A guy who was happiest during his first 10 years of retirement, Robert & wife Marg bought a motorhome and have spent a good part of those years touring North America. His favourite journey, however, was 3 months spent in Europe. He & Marg live in North Van, have 2 children and some grandchildren, whom he plans to spend the rest of his time enjoying. One of his memories of the years at J.O. was "sitting in the soda fountain at 48th & Fraser at - Hilton's?" (They don't make milkshakes like that anymore Bob) His greatest achievement was in "joining a bowling team where I had the good luck to meet my future wife," and his one regret is "that I didn't attend university. Apositive side to this is that it ensured efforts in continuiing education through my adult life." Bob wants to be remembered as a good husband, father & grandfather and his motto is: Do good unto others. BOB PASSED AWAY NOVEMBER 24,2004 |
 | ELAINE FORESTER-Class 31Elaine Foerster (Hope)

Her favourite memory of Jayo was "the grad dinner & dance' and she would like to be remembered "as the girl who never married Bob, as in the grade 12 annual" (Sounds like a story in there somewhere.)

Her great extravagance is smoking and her favourite journey was a retirement gift from her daughter�a trip to Hawaii!

 | VIVIAN FULAWKA-Class 5Vivian Fulawka (Buchanan)

Vivian worked as a Trust Asset Accountant in the Office of the Public Trustee from whom she received an official commendation for excellence in trust accounting. Today she looks after her 9 year-old granddaughter and is involved in her many activities. (Probably doing just as good a job there.) Her favourite journey was two years ago to Disneyland on her granddaughter's 7th birthday; "I will always remember her joy and excitement." As well as enjoying closeness with family, Vivian hopes to keep up with all her activities (crafts, gardening, golf & fishing) and do more travelling. Of her special memories of Jayo, Vivian had this to say: "Grade 10 when a group of us from my class cycled from J.O. to Horseshoe bay, dances, the many wonderful parties at Tom Sterling's home including grad night where many of us lasted till morning." (We had better staying power in those days, Vivian.) She has been on the Board of Directors of Southern Bantam Football Club and the Miss Vancouver Beauty Pageant Committee. Like many of us, Vivian considers her family her greatest achievement and remains involved in all their activities.
