Summer's Here!

In summer the song sings itself ~ William Carlos Williams

Do you remember all those summer days and nights during our high school years? What a wonderful time of life it was!! And what better place could we have spent our teenage years in but Corner Brook? Bright sunshine, warm summer breezes, good friends and lots to do! Roller skating! Strolling down West Street! Swimming at Margaret Bowater Park! Or just hanging out with our friends!

We hope this short video taken from "Crow Hill" triggers great memories for you!

Aahhh...Spring!

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's party!" ~Robin Williams

Spring in Corner Brook today is really no different than it was when we were back in high school. Some signs of Spring are universal

Crocuses are everywhere.

Robins, too.

But there are a few traditions that we claim as our own down here....

Campers come out of storage

And we sure do eat hearty!

Back when...and now!!

Every day's a great day for hockey ~ Mario Lemieux

Not everything we learned in high school was taught in the classroom. Many a lesson was learned back then from experiences outside those hallowed halls. Before class, after class and on weekends, many guys would passionately pit bodies and minds against fearsome opponents at the hockey rink. Character was formed and friendships were forged.

For some, the passion remains.

On the sidelines - Bill Coles

After all the years (now in their 60s), playing about 90 games a season, these former students still agree 'every day's a great day for hockey'.

On the ice or off "friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life" and these hockey players and their friends find the time once a week for extra

nourishment....

Funny What We Remember....

Memory is a crazy woman that hoards colored rags and throws away food. ~Austin O'Malley

Of all the momentous things that happened during those years of our lives, sometimes when we think back to high school, it's the silly things that first pop into our minds.

Share some of your idiotic memories of high school with us!

Tied Together. Friends Forever...

“I don't know what it is about going to high school with someone that makes you feel you're automatically friends for life.”
Tequila Sunrise (1988) – Gregg Lindroff (Arliss Howard)

Meeting new people with similar interests. Gaining confidence in ourselves through new experiences. Learning to rely on ourselves and gaining the tools to stand on our own two feet so that we can forge our own lives.

So many firsts.... First driver's license! First car! First kiss! First love! Coming of age!

Couldn’t sharing this collective experience at that particular time in our lives be 'what it is about going to high school with someone that makes you feel you’re automatically friends for life'?

What do you think?
