astound. It
can confound. It forces reflection, adjustment and action. "It" is that
inevitable force: change.

UCC has undergone a major change with the recent departure of
J. Douglas Blakey, principal for more than a decade and a UCC teacher
since 1975. Environmentalist, innovator and great champion of UCC, Doug Blakey was
a leader who was willing to take the risks involved in prompting change, and progress,
at UCC.

Taking over the helm as of August 2004 is Dr. Jim Power, UCC's 18th principal
and the first to come to us from the United States. Thoughtful, learned and engaging,
he is a man who doesn't appear to take himself too seriously. However, he's an edu-
cator who clearly takes boys' learning very seriously. This issue of Old Times provides
a glimpse of the background, outlook and self-effacing humour of the man who will
help shape the future of your alma mater.

Jim Power assumes the key post at an exciting time — as the community cele-
brates the 175th anniversary of the school's founding. From 1829 to today, the
changes UCC has undergone are, indeed, astounding. UCC is now a "younger" school,
offering full-time programs for students from Senior Kindergarten to those working on
their International Baccalaureate Diploma. The introduction of the IB itself marked a
significant change to the UCC curriculum and approach to education. The IB also
reflects how UCC is a more "international" school than the one Sir John Colbome
founded in 1829. This past school year, our boarding program welcomed students
from 18 countries: Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, the United States, Pakistan,
Hungary, Germany, Bangladesh and China, to name just a few. Those of you who
haven't visited UCC in many years might be delighted to discover the nurturing,
vibrant and encouraging atmosphere that today's students enjoy.

If you want a first-hand view of some of the changes that UCC has undergone
over the years — or if you'd like to reminisce about bygone days — come out to
Association Day, October 2, 2004. Alumni, parents, students, faculty and staff are
busy putting together an Association Day that will honour the past and the present of
UCC as we look toward a promising future.

We'll continue our anniversary celebrations in the next issue of Old Times, which
will be a special 175th anniversary edition. That commemorative issue, to be pub-
lished in February 2005, will feature 175 Old Boys who have made a difference in the
school, the country or the world. Changes to Old Times are ongoing: last year, we
increased its publication from once a year to twice per year (adding a winter/spring
issue), and we hope you notice that this latest issue is more colourful than ever.

As George Bernard Shaw wrote, "Progress is impossible without change." When
it comes to change, you might embrace it, or you might abhor it. Just give it a chance
before you decide.

On August i, 2004, Dr. James Power — he prefers "Jim" — became UCC's
i8th principal. You'll have plenty of opportunities to meet the new

principal in the months ahead there's association day, october 2,

2004, the UCC Community Meeting, October 13, 2004, and Founder's
Dinner, February 2, 2005, to name just a few. Meantime, this Old Times
q&a gives you a glimpse of the new man on campus.

A native of Philadelphia, Pa., Jim Power was
most recently headmaster of Georgetown
Preparatory School, a boys' school in North
Bethesda, Md. He obtained his bachelor's
degree in English from the College of the
Holy Cross, in Massachusetts, and spent his
junior year at Trinity College, in Dublin,
Ireland. He has a master's degree in the art
of teaching, from Boston College, and a
doctorate in educational leadership from
Boston University.

His wife, Mary Power, has a master's
degree in public health from Harvard
University.

The Powers have five children: Bridget
(14), who enters Grade 9 this fall; and sons
Patrick (12), Seamus (10), Liam (8) and
Aidan (6), who will attend the Prep.

)im Power took up residence at Grant
House on August 1, 2004.

OLD TIMES 2 SUMMER/FALL 2004

Q: What are your friends and colleagues at Georgetown Prep going to miss most

AND LEAST ABOUT YOU?

A: The least: We had a weekly faculty basketball game, and I used to get "torched" on a regular basis. So I don't
think my teammates will miss me on the hardwood.

The most: They may miss my coffee pot. I was the resident brew master, and I had a good number of folks
who would pop into my office on a regular basis, because they claimed they wanted to chat. But I knew they
were really just after my Java.

Q: Now that you've been to Canada a few times, what are some of the cultural

DIFFERENCES YOU NOTICE BETWEEN AMERICANS AND CANADIANS?

A; Canadians know a lot more about hockey and the War of 1812 than do Americans! A lot more! I think after a
few more months here, I will be able to write a doctoral thesis on both subjects. More seriously, my impres-
sions are that Canadians are more international in their outlook, a little more reserved, and very caring and
empathetic toward others. Those are such wonderful qualities to have as a backdrop in raising kids. I have had
a chance to travel across the country and have been touched by the hospitality and patience everyone has
given to me in crossing the cultural (and hockey) divide.

At the same time, America has instilled in me a sense of optimism and what you might call the Horatio
Alger belief — that regardless of how humble your origins, you can do whatever you want if you are willing
to work hard enough. But for now, on Canadian relations, I just want to listen more than editorialize. These
are very anxious and important times in the world, and this has to have an impact on our students. I think it
is most important that we give our kids the tools to think, to question, and make up their own minds. If, by
growing up in the U.S., I can add another perspective to the dialogue, that would be a wonderful start.

Ql Do YOU THINK BEING AN AMERICAN WILL AFFECT YOUR ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND
OUR SCHOOL?

Al The most important thing in walking into any new school is to take the time to understand the boys, the
teachers, the school community and the school culture. Every school is unique. I think we are all shaped by
how and where we grew up, and I believe my experience at Georgetown Prep will be a help. When I sit in
meetings at UCC, I see the staff wrestle with the same issues we did at GP.
At some level, boys are boys. However, far more important than where I

come from is that I've spent a lot of time thinking about the

challenges of teaching and raising boys, so that they become

men of what I call the Four C's: competence, conscience,

courage and compassion. This is something that can only be

achieved with a lot of listening, patience, and help from the

whole school community.

ql a lot of famous comedians are canadian
(e.g., Mike Myers, Jim Carrey). What
makes you laugh?

A: Mike Myers is a hoot. My kids really make me laugh,
too. Today, for instance, in the car, I heard them
practising a "rap" they had written. I don't think
they're in any danger of winning American Idol or
Canadian Idol any time soon, but they did give me
a few yucks. I also like Woody Allen movies, especially
his older ones, where he is able to poke fun at some
of the pretensions of life.

Q: Dog person or Cat person?

A: Fenway is our three-year-old chocolate lab. Like the
baseball team to which he's linked, we're always hoping
that next year will be a better year.

(from left) Liam, Seamus, Patrick and Aidan.

OLD TIMES 3 SUMMER/FALL 2004

Q: When you were a student, what were your

BEST SUBJECTS? AND YOUR WORST?

A: I had a couple of absolutely terrific English teachers, and
these men had a profound impact on my life. I became an
English major because of their direction, and their influence
may have steered me back into a career in the classroom, too.
I know it's cliche, but I believe that teachers can and do make
a difference.

On the flip side, I was a lousy math student — even on
my best days.

Q: Which sports do you play?

A: I was on the swimming and baseball teams in school. I swam,
though, only because I got cut from the basketball team. (It's
still a vivid and oh-so-painful memory!) I did end up playing
basketball for a year when I was a student at Trinity College,
Dublin. (Basketball in Europe has gotten a lot better since
1979!) These days, I play a little tennis, a little hoops, and a
lot of whiffle ball with my sons. I think I've finally mastered
the knuckle ball.

Q: What are your feelings about single-sex

EDUCATION?

A: I spent my sabbatical year working at my daughter's school,
and it is clear that educating boys and girls is a very different
practice. I think UCC has settled into a very special position
in that it is a boys' school by tradition and conviction. The
latest educational research shows that boys are now falling
behind in schools at an alarming rate. They also have higher
incidences of ADHD and learning-style challenges, and they
also learn subjects like math differently — not to mention
they have a difficult time sitting still!

I see the UCC commitment to boys as a very positive
opportunity to be on the leading edge of boys' education, not
just in Canada, but around the world. As a school that is
positioned to be a leader in the education of boys, I also
think we have a responsibility to share and collaborate with
others to really push the field of boys' learning forward at a
critical time. Fortunately, I am following an outstanding
principal like Doug Blakey So much of the infrastructure is
already in place.

Boys' education is more than a job for me. With four sons
of my own, it really is a lifetime commitment. Raising boys
is a constant challenge between nurturing their confidence,
providing clear boundaries, and setting high expectations.
It's the ying and the yang between affirming and challenging
them. There is no formula; it is really an art.

Q: What is the one quality you most admire

IN A BOY?

A: It's great to work with boys who are open, honest, humble
and able to reach out to others. Every boy will make mistakes
from time to time, but it's so much easier to help a boy grow
through these issues if he's able to admit where he has messed
up. False pride can short-circuit a young man's development.

Q: Will you be making any major changes at UCC?

Al From my time visiting UCC, the school looks like it is
exceptionally well run. In the short term, my first priority
will be to listen and make sure I understand the exciting

opportunities and challenges that the school faces. I'm
fortunate because the school's leadership has already pro-
duced an Aims and Objectives document that outlines where
we want to go. We want to make sure we deliver the best
possible education for our boys, the best support for our
staff, and that we embrace our past while we keep our focus
firmly on the future. The great news is that we start from
such a strong position, but there is always room for growth.
Ql HOW DO YOU INTEND TO MERGE THE PROUD PAST
OF THIS INSTITUTION WITH FORWARD-LOOKING
LEADERSHIP SKILLS IN AN EFFORT TO ENHANCE
THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AT UCC?

A: The school's illustrious past gives us confidence we might
not otherwise have had. We know that what we've done for
the past 175 years has worked, and it's worked because the
school has never forgotten what it's about. Its bedrock
principles have been about providing young men with the
academic skills and character values that have enabled them
to live lives of leadership and service. The contexts have
changed, but the principles have been a constant. Sir John
Colborne might not have anticipated "instant messaging,"
but he did expect UCC to provide leadership for a growing
country. While today's students live in a much different
world, their most basic needs are not all that far removed
from their predecessors.

Q: What about the abuse cases from our

PAST? HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT TAKING CHARGE
OF A SCHOOL THAT'S IN THE MIDST OF SUCH
DIFFICULTIES?

Al Of course, the abuse cases have been very troubling for

everyone at UCC. I think the recent administration has han-
dled the situation in the right way: they've been open and
honest with the UCC community, and they've been working
toward a resolution. And I see that training, policies and pro-
cedures are in place to ensure the well-being of all students. I
know that the months ahead will continue to be difficult, but
I am hopeful that we will see some form of closure regarding
these cases in the not-too-distant future. Then, true healing
can begin.

Q: As you're coming from a Catholic school,

WILL RELIGION BECOME MORE IMPORTANT AT UCC?

Al The Charter of UCC is very clear that it is a secular school
and that embracing diversity is a key value. I certainly under-
stand and appreciate this. I think the real issue is that UCC
strives to teach its boys not just to do well but to do good.
What does the "good" look like to boys? Most adolescents
are already grappling with the big questions — questions
of meaning — and I think that the best schools provide a
healthy atmosphere where students can wrestle with these
issues. We can raise questions, but they've got to come up
with their own answers. Most of the students, I'm sure, also
want to live lives that are rich in achievement and rich in
friendships. These are universal values, and I think if UCC
wants to make a real contribution in building the right
character in boys and in nurturing healthy relationships,
we need to talk as a community about this. But to start off,
I want to just listen.

OLD TIMES 4 SUMMER/FALL 2004

Q: What reading material is on your bedside

TABLE RIGHT NOW?

A: Tobias Wolf's Old School. . .and Canadian History for Dummies.

Q: Who are your favourite heroes of fiction?
In movies? Why?

A: I like Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. The odds are
stacked against him; he's a single dad, trying to help his kids
see right from wrong as he tries to address the major social
issue of his day. He follows his conscience — even though
this puts him at risk. And he does his very best, though his
best, at first glance, doesn't seem nearly good enough. I also
like the Gary Cooper character in the movie High Noon for
many of the same reasons. At the risk of sounding like a high
school English teacher, it's the individual vs. society tension
that grabs me. And we've all found ourselves in similar — if
not quite so dramatic — positions from time to time.

Q: What's your motto?

A: I haven't ever thought about a personal motto, but I do like
Certa Veritas. I think it's translated as "strive for truth."

Q: What natural gift would you most like to
possess?

Al I'd like a photographic memory and a good voice. Is that too
much to ask?

Q: Name one thing no one here knows about

YOU YET.

A: I drink an awful lot of tea and tell a lot of stories, some of
which have elements of truth. I don't know if there's a
connection between the two or if it's the Irish in me....

Q: If, upon leaving UCC, you are asked what

YOUR MOST IMPORTANT ACCOMPLISHMENT WAS
DURING YOUR TENURE AS PRINCIPAL, WHAT DO
YOU HOPE THAT MIGHT BE?

A: Learning how to skate backwards would be an important
personal accomplishment. I would hate to be the first
principal of UCC in nearly 175 years who couldn't do this.
As for academic goals, I think it is a little early for me to
take a crack at that. What I can tell you is that I am a
teacher at heart, and I care passionately about improving
the way we affirm and challenge young men. I hope that,
when I leave UCC, the school will continue to make big
strides in leading the way in helping our parents and
community educate boys.

Q: What do you want your tombstone to say?

A: It's a bit pretentious, but I'd like it to be, "IP was a man for
others." Of course, it'll probably be, "Good glove, no stick."
Alas....

During their summer break, students Josh Booth (middle) and Alex Pivnick (both entering IB1) had a chance to meet their incoming principal.

OLD TIMES 5 SUMMER/FALL 2004

Blake

By Michaele Robertson

hroughout Doug Blakey's more than 25 years at the College, he has demonstrated time
JL. and time again his commitment to the education of boys. He has been an outstanding
teacher of biology, a strong chair of the science department, a powerful influence as housemaster
of Seaton's, a thoughtful vice-principal and a visionary principal.

That's the career. What follows is the man.

Doug has never shied away from a battle.
He loves the edge. He has a probing intellect
and a great sense of fair play. These qualities
have served him well, whether as an advocate
for faculty in his early years at UCC or as the
principal who made good on the Aims and
Objectives document. His tenure has been, at
times, contentious. He has been lauded and
criticized with equal fervour. He has worked
to make UCC the best school in Canada while
struggling with aspects of its past that have
distressed him deeply.

Just to be yourself, as a man and a friend,
can be complicated for a principal. Doug is a
man of parts. You may know he rides a Harley.
But you almost certainly don't know of his rich,
creative life as an artist and musician. Those
who work closely with him love his goofy
humour, marvel at his humility and gasp at his
audacity. He is genuinely appreciative of those
who have supported his efforts to move the
school ahead — and to them he is a considerate
and loyal friend.

After leaving UCC, he will probably take
on the challenge of improving the health of
the planet. And the results will, likely, be just
as impressive.

Cheryl and Doug Blakey, always gracious and enthusiastic hosts at UCC events,
are shown here at the Shades of Blue gala in 2000. Along with her husband,
Cheryl Blakey has been a creative contributor to College life over the years.

A fervent environmentalist, Blakey championed UCC's Green School
initiative and supported events such as the Earth Day tree-planting
(shown here) in April 2004.

The Blakey Years Chronicled

The College has prepared a special publication in
appreciation of Douglas Blakey 's contribution to
UCC as an educator and principal. It covers in
depth Principal Blakey 's long career at the College
and some of the historical issues affecting the
school before and during his term as principal.

Written by Vice-Principal Emeritus Dr.
Vernon Mould, Doug's longtime friend and
associate, the article is a timely contribution
to College records as UCC's 175th anniversary
celebrations begin.

A Vision Attained, contact Marian Spence,

Family

Determining whether UCC is the best fit
for each boy is important to Chantal
Lacourciere Kenny and her admission team.

So, you're hoping that your son or grandson will follow in your foot-
steps by attending UCC? Clearly, you'll want to know what Chantal
Lacourciere Kenny has to say about UCC's admissions process.

As UCC's new executive director of admission, Kenny oversees
the Office of Admission's comprehensive enrolment management
program, which includes assessment and recruitment, as well as some
marketing and public relations functions.

Recently, the Office of Admission stepped up its efforts to reach out to families with a more
personalized, student-focused admission process.

"As UCC has moved into younger and younger grades, the need to look at the family more closely
becomes very important," explains Kenny, a former UCC teacher who served as director of admission
at the Prep before assuming the College-wide admissions role for the 2004—05 school year.

Here, she answers the questions that many alumni ask when considering UCC for their sons.

Q: Why should I send my son to UCC?

Al College programs have never been better. In my 17 years at
UCC, I have observed remarkable growth and change in all
areas. Faculty and staff are 100 per cent committed to foster-
ing intellectual growth, social responsibility and school life
involvement.

As a parent, you know that all children are not alike. Each
child has his or her own special interests, talents, develop-
mental patterns and emotional needs. A school that is right
for one boy may not be the best choice for another. I invite
all prospective families to consider the following questions as
they navigate through the admission process:

• Is the IB curriculum appropriate for my son's talents
and goals?

• Will the school challenge my son without over-
whelming him?

• Will my son be comfortable in the learning
environment? Will we?

• Are there opportunities for my son to pursue his
special interests?

• Will my son learn the values that are important to
our family?

Q: What makes UCC unique?

A: UCC is a leader in boys' education. We offer programs,

including the International Baccalaureate Program, designed
to enable each boy to discover his strengths and gain

OLD TIMES 8 SUMMER/FALL 2004

self-awareness by sharing his talents. Our teachers draw
from the best practices in education and challenge students
to become creative and reflective learners. Student support
services and extensive facilities, including our outdoor school
at Norval, contribute to the school's success.
Q: What are the entry levels and how many

BOYS WILL BE ADMITTED?

A: The major entry levels for 2004-05 are Senior Kindergarten
(18 boys); Grade 3 (22 boys); Grade 5 (36 boys); and Grade 7
(40 boys). Enrolment for day students at the Upper School is
limited (approximately 20). Boarding is available beginning
in Year 1 (Grade 8). At this time, we do not foresee any major
changes in the current enrolment model. About 1,100 boys,
ages 5 through 17 years, attend UCC. Most are day students,
with approximately 100 boarders from all regions of Canada
and many countries around the world.

Q: How does a family apply?

Al Prospective families may obtain a copy of our Prospectus
and application by calling or e-mailing the Office of
Admission. Application forms and grade-specific
information (including timelines) are also available at
www.ucc.on.ca/admissions.

Generally, the admission process begins one year before
the year of entry. We do accept applications for non-entry
levels. Late applications are accepted and reviewed on
an individual basis, depending on available space at each
grade level.

Q: What admission criteria do you use?

Al There is no formula for gaining admission to UCC. Academic
readiness and accomplishment are very important, but the
admission team also considers many other criteria, such
as community involvement, leadership and talent in co-
curricular activities. We rely on teachers, principals, colleagues
and alumni to share professional information about applicants
— all of which play an important part in our decisions. In
the end, quantitative and qualitative data matter. We look
beyond the surface.

Q: Are assessment tests necessary?

A: Assessment tools are a part of the admissions process in most
independent schools. We recently completed a thorough
review of our assessment tools in an effort to better under-
stand and measure students' development and readiness.
There are benefits and drawbacks with any assessment
instrument. However, our research efforts have resulted in
a more comprehensive assessment process — in addition
to standardized testing, we introduced mechanisms to
measure motivation, interpersonal skills, creativity and
community involvement.

Q: HOW CAN MY SON PREPARE FOR THE ADMISSION
PROCESS?

Al First off, we strongly discourage tutoring boys for testing and
interviews. We know from experience that special coaching
creates added anxiety. It is essential for us to fully understand
a boy's cognitive abilities and level of achievement in order
to assess whether UCC is the right fit. We understand boys'
learning styles and development, and we care about what
makes them tick. There is a lot of research that shows that
both reading and spending quality family time will set the
foundation for academic success. There's no need to pay
tutors to achieve this desired goal!

Q: Who reviews applications?

A: Most applications are read by three or more members of the
admission team, and are considered carefully before admis-
sion decision meetings. The entire process requires many
steps and several months.

Q: Will my son or grandson have 'an edge'
because I'm an Old Boy?

A: The answer is "yes" and "no." Admission decisions are made
in the best interest of the student, and we know from experi-
ence that our program is not for everyone. The College is
committed to honouring relationships with Old Boys and
their families. Indeed, sons of Old Boys and siblings are
automatically interviewed upon application. While admis-
sion is based on many factors, we are blessed with the num-
ber of very qualified applicants, which far exceed available
spaces at all grade levels. After careful consideration, our
team bases its decisions on the thorough analysis of each
boy's application. Only when all factors are considered
equal do we give preference to sons of Old Boys.

The good news is that young students are constantly
changing and developing, and we encourage all families to
reapply should admission not be offered in the first round.

Q: Does the College offer financial assistance
to students?

A: Financial assistance is available to new and current families
beginning at Grade 7. Assistance amounts are reassessed and
allocated yearly and are based on family need. Applications
for financial assistance are reviewed separately from the
admission process and do not affect admission decisions.
Financial Assistance Aid for Canadian Students (FACS)
packages are available through the Office of Admission. A
generous financial aid program (about $1.6 million this year)
provides needs-based assistance to families who otherwise
could not cover the tuition costs.

Q: What do you look for in a student?

A: As I've indicated, the admission process is designed to get to
know the candidate, and his family, as best we can. Successful
applicants present strong academic credentials; evidence of
highly developed talents and interpersonal skills; motivation;
and leadership. It is fair to say that none of us can predict
what a student will be like, and we may make mistakes.
However, what is important to note is that we make deci-
sions based on what we know at the time of application, and
we always put the boy's best interests first. Our challenge in
the coming years will be to continue to develop the best
mechanism to recognize students whose academic record
may not fairly represent the contribution they would make
here and beyond.

Q: What's the average class size?

A: In SK, Grade 1 and Grade 2, the class size is 18 students. In all
other grades, the average is 19 students.

Q: What are the tuition fees?

At The 2004-05 tuition fee for day students from SK through
to Foundation Year is $20,350 (boarding tuition fee is up
to $37,975). Additional costs include, but are not limited
to, books and supplies, uniforms, class and team trips,
private music lessons, and optional after-school and hot-
lunch programs.

The Kent family, David ('48), Geoff ('81) and Charles (2011),
are among members of the UCC community who have made
the College a family tradition.

(1938-1980). The Barrow Foundation has commissioned Mark Battley, College Films
supervisor and producer of a number of videos for UCC, to create a 10-minute video
to celebrate her legacy. With the help of Marian Spence, UCC's archivist, he is currently
engaged in preliminary research. He would like to hear from Old Boys who remained
close to "Miss B" and who are willing to discuss both her personal impact on them and
the reasons for her enduring mystique.

Please contact Mark Battley at 416-488-1125, ext. 3306, or by e-mail:
mbattley@ucc.on.ca, to share your thoughts and stories.

Tradition innovation

By Paul Winnell ('67)

UCC Association News

The 2003-04 school year was
great for the Upper Canada
College Association!

Our mandate, "to foster the
associations and promote the
mission of Upper Canada
College," was met through
the wide-ranging events we
ran, such as the launch of
the Common Ties mentoring
program, and the dedicated
work of the Board of Directors,
under the leadership of President
Jim Deeks ('67).

The year kicked off in August
2003 with a wonderful night of
jazz, at Rodney's Oyster House,
by a group of Toronto-area Old
Boys. A sold-out event, it is being
repeated again this year!

Association Day 2003, whose
theme was "The Greening of
UCC," was held in late September.
It featured displays that high-
lighted plans to transform the
College into a "Green School." As
well, entertainment, club displays,
football, soccer and volleyball
games, and events for Old
Boys attracted a large crowd —
estimated to be in the thousands.
Another high point was the
50-year celebration of the
Class of 1953. Along with their
families, 23 Old Boys from
1953 attended.

Association Day is always a big

draw for the UCC community.

The next A Day, which celebrates

UCC's 175th anniversary, is on

Saturday, October 2, 2004.

On the evening of Association Day, the classes of
1958, 1963, 1968, 1973, 1978, 1983, 1988, 1993, and
1998 were honoured at the Reunion Dinner. Just over
400 guests attended.

At October's "Speaker Evening," a large crowd
gathered to hear Tom Wright ('71), chairman of
the Canadian Football League, speak about sports
challenges and triumphs.

A number of successful branch events occurred
during the year: in Montreal, Boston, Bermuda, London
(Ont.), London (England), Kingston, Ottawa, New
York, Vancouver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Halifax,
Budapest and Hong Kong. They were an opportunity
for Old Boys throughout the world to reconnect.

At the National Club, the second annual
"Downtown Festive Season Lunch" for Old Boys and
parents working in downtown Toronto, was held in
early December. It was a great way to kick off the
holiday season.

Kevin Clark (77) addresses the audience at the
Common Ties launch on May 29, 2004.

Share your wealth of experience!

VThe Common Ties mentorship program offers
young alumni the opportunity to network with
experienced UCC alumni and parents to explore
career options and gain career development advice.

This exciting new program was launched on
May 29, 2004. Within six weeks, Common Ties'
membership included 75 mentors and 61 mentees,
from Canada, the United States and Hong Kong. Mentees
are excited about the opportunity to learn from those with
experience, and our mentors are keen to help.

If you're an alumnus (or parent) with knowledge and
experience to share, consider joining Common Ties as a mentor.

The Seasonal Festival of Readings and Music was
enjoyed by an appreciative Laidlaw Hall audience in early
December. Association Past-President Doug Reid ('67) did
a great job as chair of the event, which featured music (new,
traditional, religious and non-religious) that was enjoyed
by all.

The Founder's Dinner, the highlight of the Association
calendar, was held in early February. More than 700 guests
heard performances by Prep and Upper School bands, and
Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs (now the Minister of
Defence), the Hon. Bill Graham ('57), spoke to the group.

Common Ties, the new mentoring program, was
launched in May. This innovative program matches young
Old Boys with mentors to allow for networking, skill-building
and career advice. Common Ties promises to be one of the
best initiatives the Association has launched in years!

Hockey Night moved to the new Ricoh Coliseum and
saw a dip in attendance, but it was still a successful evening.
The College's outstanding varsity team defeated St.
Andrew's College for the Foster Hewitt Victory Trophy.

The Reunion Dinner, for the College's "senior" Old
Boys, was a super event with 124 guests, lots of nostalgia,
and some great stories of days gone by!

Grandparents' and Special Friends' Day at the Prep
continues to grow in popularity. This year, more than 400
people enjoyed lunch together and attended the concerts,
classroom visits and photo-taking sessions.

' MEMBER OF THE 2004 CANADIAN Men's FOUR

Olympic Rowing Team (Athens), Gold Medal
winner at the 2003 world championships
(Men's Four Rowing) and 2003 Lucerne World
Cup (Men's Four Rowing), and First Place at
the 2003 Canadian National Trials.

I am not very competitive. Are there ways to
get involved in rowing in a purely recreational
way? At what age should I consider getting my
children involved in the sport?

One of the interesting things about rowing is that
most gyms have a rowing machine because of the
intense full-body workout it gives. As such, it is a
great sport for your health, it can be done in teams

or alone and, as it is not a weight-bearing activity,
children as young as seven years can participate. You
don't have to become a member at a club to enjoy
rowing. Most national lakes offer skulls for rent, and
you will find the same around the world.

The movement in rowing is quite natural, so the
sport is accessible to a wide range of people, and with
some basic instruction you can make your rowing
more enjoyable. I recommend taking at least one
introductory class or session from your local rowing
club to ensure you row at maximum efficiency.

Classes and camps are also available for children.
Not only is rowing a great sport, it also teaches them
to work well with others.

My rowing career has had many indirect benefits.
I have been able to meet a large network of people
from around the world and have found that the range

of opportunities available
to me increases with every
contact. For instance, I am
starting my law studies at
Oxford this fall, in part
because of advice from a
contact through rowing.
You never know where an
activity can lead you —
directly or indirectly.

ASK Gary Berman ( "93), Toronto.

vice-president in real estate investment
for Tri Continental Capital and a Baker
Scholar while at Harvard Business School.

Is buying a condo a good investment? Is the
condo market saturated?

I say it makes more sense to buy and pay into a
mortgage than to pay rent (someone else's mortgage).
If you have enough funds for a down payment, then
buying will also force you to save money through
mortgage payments. But I don't consider buying a
property or condo for you to live in as a financial
investment; I consider it a lifestyle investment.

Owning your own condo
gives you a certain quality of
life — that's the investment
you are making. I say this
because, financially, condo
prices have been quite flat for
the past couple of years and I
expect them to remain fairly
flat or increase only moder-
ately in the next few years.
Buying a condo with the
intent to sell and make big
profit isn't generally realistic
in today's market.

As for the market, it is currently considered
balanced to slightly over-supplied by the industry.
This may sound like saturation to you, but in the
business this is a decent rating. There is approximately
a 12- to 13-month supply of unsold condos today
(including projects not yet under construction.)
Generally, a year's supply is considered balanced,
since it takes time to add supply. As well, in the past
six months the supply has come down — which to
us means that developers (or their lenders) are using
discipline to ensure a sustainable level of supply. There
is also a driving demand, due, in part, to low interest
rates and demographics (there's steady population
growth). In Toronto alone, it's expected that one
million people will be added to the city's population
by 2016. That means a great deal of infrastructure
and housing needs.

All this is meant to assure you that the apparent
overextension of condo development is really not so.
Consider this: an average condo building, with 200
units, will only typically house 200 to 400 people.
When you take into account that Toronto is growing
by 100,000 people a year, even having 80 condo
buildings under construction will only meet the
housing needs of one-quarter of these people! So,
all that building activity you see around town may
seem like too much, but really it is just meeting the
current demand.

ASK

Shan Wickramasinghe C96), Sri Lanka,
research analyst at the Institute of Policy
Studies.

What is involved in being a member of a govern-
ment think tank? How did you get involved?

From my short experience at the Institute, most
members are involved in research work. Different
institutes focus on different areas. The one I work
at focuses on economic issues. As a research analyst,
you are involved in researching areas designated by
project heads or officers. At the higher levels, senior
researchers typically prepare papers for various
publications or journals and are involved in various
forums where issues are presented and discussed.

In order to be valuable in a government "think
tank," most people have or intend to pursue post-
graduate degrees. Of course, there are no set rules
and things vary from institute to institute. Some
think tanks and research institutes cover large

subject areas and have resources for a large staff,
whereas others are more specific in their subjects
of research.

If you are interested in this line of work, I
suggest you spend some time researching different
institutes that focus on the subject
areas, or geographical regions, that
interest you. Look into internships
as well, as they can be a great
way to get your foot in the door.
Studying sociology, psychology,
geography, economics and anthro-
pology in university may also open
areas of interest and opportunities
for work in developing countries.

My general advice is, remember
that different institutes tend
to study different subject areas,
so keep looking until you find
your fit.

What planned giving can do

By Andrea Patterson

David Bruce ('73) is the consummate planner. As a UCC parent (P2005), Old Boy class
co-president, canvasser for annual fund campaigns at both the College and Bishop
Strachan School, and busy volunteer at St. Michael's Hospital, he needs to be.
Establishing and following long-term plans are also key in his career as a financial advis
er at Scotia McLeod.

His preparations extend long into the future — as Bruce and
his wife have purchased a joint life insurance policy naming UCC
as owner and beneficiary. In doing so, they made a charitable gift
to the College now and help ensure UCC's programming contin-
ues uninterrupted — leaving a legacy.

Bruce has also extended his help to UCC in developing the
UCC Life Insurance Program, specially developed for the College's
community of alumni, donors and employees. In creating this
investment opportunity for the community, UCC aims to help
donors get the most out of their donations. The program requires
only five annual premium payments, or "pledges," to fulfil the policy requirements. This
allows policy-holders the opportunity to make a modest gift today, which will become a
significant gift in the future.

"UCC will be around forever, and we need the foresight to look ahead," says Bruce.

"This insurance program will make a huge impact
on the school."

Planned gifts, a popular option at many not-
for-profit organizations, ensure donors realize their

"UCC will be around
forever, and we need the
foresight to look ahead."

"Making a
planned gift
is a statement

and beliefs."

philanthropic objectives, while at
the same time maximizing tax
and other financial benefits.

"Making a planned gift is a
statement of one's values and
beliefs. It's an extension of one's
self — how one wishes to be
remembered," says Dyanne
Ostrander, UCC's new director
of planned giving. Gift planning
is often equated with deferred
gifts such as bequests, charitable
gift annuities and charitable
remainder trusts. What many
donors may not realize is that
RRSPs and RRIFs, as well as life
insurance policies, may also be
designated as planned gifts.

Through a planned gift, David Bruce (73) is helping to
ensure that communiiy programs and learning innovations
continue to prosper at UCC.

Types of Planned Gifts

Dyanne Ostrander, UCC's new director of
planned giving.

Donation Recognition

The Henry Scadding Society is the
College's premier donor recognition
society for planned gifts. It is named
in honour of the first student and
Head Boy who later became a classics
master and acting principal at
UCC. The society acknowledges
the generosity and vision of those
individuals who — in their lifetime
and beyond — establish long-term
support for future generations at
the College.

Individuals who make a planned
gift receive an invitation to a special
annual reception at the College.
They also receive a Henry Scadding
memento, and are given an opportu-
nity to be recognized in a UCC
publication and a special mention in
that year's annual report.

Deferred gifts are becoming
increasingly important to the College.
As the planned giving program
grows, further donor recognition
incentives will evolve.

planned gifts, or a confidential quote,
please contact Dyanne Ostrander
directly at 416-488-1125, ext. 2229,
or dostrander@ucc.on.ca.

Andrea Patterson is a Toronto-based
communications consultant.

Charitable Gift Annuities:

Donors should be 65 years of age or older.

• A minimum of $25,000 is required; 25% is used as an immediate gift to
UCC and the remainder purchases the gift annuity.

• Donors are guaranteed income payments for life, at a fixed rate, and all or a
portion of the income is tax-free.

• Donors receive a tax receipt for the gift portion that UCC receives.

• Annuities are a benefit of age: the older you are, the better the rates become
(example: male donor, 70 years old, the rate is 7.1%; male, 80 years old, the
rate is 9.4%; and male, 90 years old, the rate is 12.4%).

Life Insurance:

This is a simple and effective method to maximize your gift to UCC. The use of
life insurance is becoming increasingly popular because you can be recognized
for a certain gift amount now, and your family will be recognized again in the
future. Life insurance donations to the College allow you to leave a significant
gift for relatively small annual payments.

Options:

• Name the UCC Foundation as beneficiary of an existing policy. At your
death, the College will receive the death benefit amount and your estate
will receive a full donation receipt.

• Name the UCC Foundation owner and beneficiary of a new policy. As
described in the article, UCC has developed an easy program whereby
you make five annual payments to fully pay for the policy.

Bequests:

This gift, made through your will, is the most common type of deferred gift.

Options:

• It can be as simple as a sentence or two in your will or codicil.

• You may make a gift of a specific amount or particular asset, or give the
residue, or a portion of the residue, from your estate.

• The estate will receive a tax receipt, for the full value of your gift, which
may significantly reduce the tax payable on your final income tax return.

Charitable Remainder Trusts:

A charitable remainder trust allows you to give today, yet retain the income from
the donated asset throughout your lifetime. You will receive an immediate tax
receipt for the present value of the donated asset and also receive the annual
income. Upon death, the asset is transferred to UCC.

Options:

• Funded with cash.

• Funded with securities.

• Funded with other investments.

Residual Interest:

A gift of residual interest refers to gifts such as real estate or art. The donor
retains use of the property for their lifetime and upon death the gift is trans-
ferred to UCC. This gift option allows the College to issue a discounted
charitable tax receipt during the donor's life.

RRSPs and RRIFs:

You can designate UCC as beneficiary of your RRSP or RRIF, and your estate
will receive a tax receipt.

VlNCE BARILLARO — Chair, Modern
Languages, French and Spanish Teacher,
Upper School

Vince was at the Faculty of Education in Toronto,
in 1979, when he decided to apply to a school he
had never heard of (ours). It was to be the only
application he ever made!

Few of his colleagues know that Vince was
born in Italy, just over 50 years ago. Two years
later, he moved to Argentina, where he lived for
another 12 years. He arrived in Canada in 1967,
and in keeping with the spirit of our Centennial
year, was fully bilingual — but in Italian and
Spanish. So, he had to learn two more languages,
English and French! He still speaks all four lan-
guages fluently — a talented fellow.

He came to UCC for the interview and got the job — 25
years later, he's still with us. He teaches French and Spanish,
and is the chair of the Modern Languages Department, a job he
thoroughly enjoys.

Growing up in Argentina, where every boy had a soccer ball,
Vince became an adept player. He brought this talent with him to
UCC, and was a successful coach of the Under 15s, the First Team
and the Under 16s. While coaching the First Team in 1991, the
team had an undefeated season. Vince also enjoyed two undefeat-
ed seasons at the U16 level. George Klein, captain of the First

Tim Meikle, Marian Spence, Tom Simpson and Vince Barillaro are welcomed into
the ranks of the QC club at a dinner in June 2004.

Team at the time, was thanking all of the coaches at the end of
the season and, about Vince, he said: "And we learned the most
from Mr. Barillaro" — a well-deserved compliment.

I was coaching U15s at the same time, and I always marvelled
at how well organized Vince's practices were and how well his
players played the game. He generously shared his expertise with
anyone who needed it, including me.

Vince and his wife, Daisy, enjoy travelling. They enjoy
international music and cooking, and Vince also enjoys garden-
ing. When he's not cultivating his enormous garden, Vince is
cultivating a love of languages in his students.

TOM SlMPSON — Operations Manager, Facilities

Tom is a man of many talents. At 16, he got his first job as an
apprentice mechanic in Thunder Bay, Ont. As well, while helping
at his parents' service station, he was entrepreneurial enough to
grab the opportunity to charge American tourists money for
information about the best fishing spots in the area!

A Canadian Army man for 12 years, Tom worked on trans-
port logistics in places such as Germany and Puerto Rico. He
lived in Liverpool, England, for a time and then decided to move
himself and his family back to Canada.

In 1979, Tom joined UCC's maintenance team. With his high

level of enthusiasm and energy, as well as incredible knowledge,
Tom soon became the resident "mechanical expert."

More than his title, he coached the U14 hockey team with
David Mumby, went to England on music trips led by Tim
Meikle and Kathryn Edmonson, and instructed the carpentry
option to Remove boys while working at the Prep. Tom was a
favourite with the students and staff, in part because of his quiet,
friendly personality, along with his wit.

In spring, Tom joined the Quarter Century and retired from
UCC. We miss Tom at UCC, but wish him all the best.

TlM MEIKLE — Head of the Music Department, Prep School

For over 25 years, UCC has been fortunate to have in its midst a
man who once played his tuba or, as he refers to it, "God's instru-
ment," for such diverse employers as Ringling Brothers Circus
and the renowned conductor, Leopold Stokowski. Fortunately for
his students and colleagues, Tim Meikle decided to abandon the
life of a professional musician for a career in education. After a
brief stint with the East York Board of Education, Tim arrived at
the Prep in 1979. He quickly settled into the Prep family and
began to display the enormous energy and enthusiasm for school
life that remains his hallmark today.

As department chair, Tim took over the fledgling instrumen-
tal music program that had begun a scant three years earlier. The
fit was ideal, as Tim was able to create a music curriculum that
offered each student an opportunity to learn and develop both
his specific playing skills and broader knowledge of music. His
program embodies both experiential learning and co-operative
activities. As a result of Tim's dedication and time, the music
program has expanded from the one concert band that existed in
1979 to the two jazz bands and two concert bands of today.

His students have been fine ambassadors of the College in
Alberta, England and the U.S., consistently placing highly in
music festivals and competitions. Indeed, the Prep Band has been

awarded the Gold Medal at the Kiwanis Festival and the National
School Student Music Festival on a number of occasions. Tim
always demands that his students demonstrate discipline, preci-
sion, punctuality and consideration for others. These skills have
had a profound impact on the boys' development and success
across the breadth of the school program, and in later life.

Just as Tim has demanded much from his students, so he has
demanded much of himself. His contributions to the well-being
of generations of his students and colleagues transcend the class-
room. He has always loved the athletic program and has coached
representative hockey, soccer and ultimate teams. Over the years,
he has travelled to Russia, Finland and Sweden with hockey teams
and continues to play a vital role in the Remove Ottawa Trip. His
passion for technology and computers led him to develop the
first computerized reports, mark register and databases at the
Prep. Somewhere in the midst of all his activities, he has found
the time to represent his colleagues on the Faculty Committee
and to act as construction foreman for the sets for Prep theatrical
performances.

Alan Stephen, the third headmaster of the Prep School, once
said, "Nothing can go really wrong when Jim's around." Today,
Stephen Johnson would say the same of Tim.

MARIAN SPENCE — Archivist

Many aspects of Marian Spence's personality could be captured
in a single image — an image in many ways central to her life —
that of a figure skater. A few of you who have known Marian only
in her professional capacity at UCC may not know that she has
been involved in figure skating ever since she was a small child
growing up in the Leaside neighbourhood of Toronto. In her late
teens and through her twenties, she taught figure skating and to
this day, she continues her involvement in the sport by judging at
various competitions. In my eyes, Marian embodies many of the
qualities that spring to mind when I think of figure skating —
strength, grace, creativity, risk-taking, and most of all, heart.

When she arrived at UCC in 1979 with no training as a
school librarian, Marian did not allow it to deter her from taking
the library in a new and positive direction. With the help of
Donna Wilkinson, and later Janet Blue, she began working with
teachers to develop a comprehensive training program for
research skills.

Marian has demonstrated the grace and creativity required

to be a great skater in other aspects of her life as well. In 1994,
after 15 years in the library, Marian was asked to take on a new
challenge — that of building a professional archives for UCC.
She threw herself into her new role with gusto and determination.
As a result, the College now has an archives and records manage-
ment program that is the envy of many other institutions. Marian
has also demonstrated her creativity through the striking and
thoughtfully researched displays she crafts for the front hall at
the Upper School.

What defines Marian most clearly for me, however, is her
great heart: her love for the College, for friends and, most of all,
for family. Through her years at UCC, she has been a dedicated
employee who has given far more to the College than her job
description demands. Whether she's in Italy helping to chaperone
a UCC trip, or helping Year 2 students grasp the pathos of the
Second World War, Marian leaves you feeling appreciated for
your individuality!

COLIN LOWNDES, Assistant Head of
Upper School, Student Life, Director of
Summer Programs, English Teacher and
Senior House Adviser

He led theatrical productions, coordinated a
team of students writing Our Shared Ideals,
created the Prefects Program, evolved the
student government and devised UCC's
new house advising system.

Colin Lowndes is my friend. As well,
he was assistant head of school, student
life; senior house adviser of Bremner's; director of UCC
Summer Programs; architect of the Prefects Program, and
former director of the Little Theatre. (A few of us "older folk'
even remember Colin as the offensive line coach for
the JV football team!)

As assistant head of the Upper School, his domain was
the basement, where the students hang out. He would greet
them in the morning, and keep contact with them during
morning break, the lunch period, and after school. I can
think of no higher praise for Colin than that he spent his
time getting to know students, spending time where they
spent their time. This is the mark of a man who loves his
work, not his title.

Colin's unique vision and determination are exemplified
by his work on the Prefects Program. He had the insight to
develop opportunities for all students to earn prefectship by
completing such initiatives as mentoring, engaging in a lead-
ership activity, and by making their citizenship active in the
UCC community. In the three years of the program, over 400
students have nominated themselves to try to earn prefectship

at the College, a tribute to the timeliness
of Colin's vision.

Some will remember Colin's amazing
legacy to the Little Theatre. Musical
productions such as Cabaret, West Side
Story, and dramatic productions such as
Hamlet and Othello have enriched our
community immeasurably. Personally,
I won't soon forget the tableau he
constructed in the Sharks and Jets fight
scene in West Side Story.

Faculty know Colin as a person who
is easy to talk to, empathetic, and willing to listen to complex
situations. As a colleague in the English Department, he
helped us sort out the intricacies of the IB curriculum, and
even made athletic young men aware of the delight of Jane
Austen's Pride and Prejudice*.

Perhaps fewer people know that Colin is a blues aficionado,
often unpacking his Fender Stratocaster to play a few riffs
with his daughter, Kate. He is also an avid runner.

In his over 20 years at UCC, few teachers and colleagues
have had more of an impact on the UCC community than
Colin. When he announced that he was leaving to take up the
post of deputy headmaster/head of Upper School at Crescent
School, it was a bittersweet moment for us. Of course we are
happy that his talents have garnered him this richly deserved
recognition, yet it is certainly with much sadness that we see
him leave UCC.

Perhaps the true measure of the esteem in which he is
held is that so many of us, unreservedly, would say: "Colin
Lowndes, he is my friend."

DAVID MUMBY, Director
of Admission, Boarding, and
Co-ordinator of the National
Scholar Program

David Mumby learned years ago
that a career at UCC has its haz-
ards. On a UCC admissions trip
to the Maritimes, David's car
had an unfortunate encounter
with two deer on a country road
late one night. The deer didn't
make it. And, as his car was
towed to a local garage, David
could only wonder about the
fate of his vehicle.

The next day, he found
his car in 1,000 parts on the floor of the garage.
Characteristically, David made the best of a bad
situation. He weighed his options, shrugged his
shoulders, and, after visiting the prospective students
he was scheduled to meet, took in a few rounds of
golf. Eventually, his car was pieced back together and
he made the return trip to Toronto ... uneventfully.

Known for his easygoing, no-nonsense (and
no-socks) ways, David has a go-getter attitude and a
strong entrepreneurial spirit that belie his apparent
laid-back demeanour.

In his spare time, David runs his own consulting
business, plays competitive bridge at the national
level, and serves as publisher and editor of the
Amateur Hockey Journal. An avid golfer, he's the
former men's golf captain at Muskoka Lakes Golf
and Country Club.

His love of hockey — coaching it, watching it,
playing it and writing about it — extends beyond his
strong commitment to the Blues. A director of the
Greater Toronto Hockey League, he's well known in
Toronto hockey circles as a huge supporter of minor
hockey — a volunteer coach who encourages players
to achieve their best.

As a long-time hockey coach at UCC, he accom-
panied our teams on trips to Finland, Sweden and
Russia, as well as countless games closer to home.
At UCC, he was also a football coach, and he helped
students develop their skills in other sports, including
softball and track and field.

David arrived at UCC as a math teacher at the
Prep School in 1971. Over the years, he has held
the positions of director of admission at the Prep,
director of athletics, director student affairs, and
executive director of admission. Recently, as director
of admission, boarding, and co-ordinator of the
National Scholar Program, he's travelled across
Canada, and the world, in his efforts to identify and
encourage talented students who can make their
mark at UCC. Adept at networking, he could often
be heard promoting UCC on the golf green, in a
hockey arena or in local restaurants.

"David's multi-faceted contributions to UCC
extend over a remarkable 33 years," says Brad Adams,
head of student affairs, Upper School. "It will be hard
to think of UCC without David."

Indeed. But colleagues hope that the years
ahead will bring David more of what he cherishes:
good golf, fast-paced hockey, good friends and
creative pursuits.

Wayne Tompkins, English Teacher

One Saturday afternoon in spring, five or
six years ago, my family was walking along
Cumberland Avenue when we came upon Anne
and Wayne Tompkins. They were out enjoying
the day. We stopped and chatted about nothing
in particular, and then went along on our way.

The following Monday morning, when I
arrived at work, there in my mailbox lay a little
treasure. Wayne had written a poem about our
chance meeting — a quiet friendship, a little
girl's eyes, an exquisite moment. The ordinary had become
extraordinary because Wayne had made it so. This is what
Wayne has done every minute of every day of his 30 years at
UCC. He has seen the ordinary through
different eyes and transformed it for us with his imagination.

There are very few aspects of life at UCC that Wayne
Tompkins has not affected. Whether it was as chair of the
English Department, as adviser to the College Times, as senior
house adviser to McHugh's, as co-founder of Quiddity
magazine, or as adviser to the creative writing club and to

Sfet~ i

Martland's House — whatever the job in front of him, Wayne
has done it in an extraordinary way with an apt quotation or
a clever aside.

Like the jazz musicians that he so much admires, Wayne
has taken the moments in the classroom,
the tasks after school, the conversations with students or
colleagues and made them memorable, educational and
interesting. All of us at UCC owe a huge thank you to Wayne,
because he has brought to us talents that have transformed
daily life into something special. We are truly grateful.

Harold George Campbell Parsons C37)

The College lost a great friend when Campbell Parsons ('37)
passed away March 16, 2004, in Toronto.

Parsons, a fixture at UCC events, editor of the
"Personals" column (now "Milestones") in Old Times for 53
years, and class president for decades, passed away quietly,
following a stroke, at his home near the College.

Parsons was born in Toronto on April 17, 1919, the only
child of Dr. Harold Parsons. He was enrolled at the Prep in
September 1929, after a stint at the Hill School in
Pennsylvania. He graduated from UCC in 1937 and then
attended Trinity College, University of Toronto.

During the Second World War, Parsons served overseas,
primarily in Germany. Following his return, he had a long
and successful career in business.

In his younger
days, Parsons was an
avid sailor (a life
member of the Royal
Canadian Yacht Club)
and fine tennis player.

He and his family spent their summers at Cape Cod, a place
he loved.

In addition to his long service to the College, Parsons also
volunteered at his church, St. Paul's Anglican on Bloor Street,
for more than 50 years.

Everyone at the College will miss his weekly visits,
engaging smile and pleasant manner.

1963 John Parsons, Class President

The 40th reunion in September was by all accounts a grand success. The
opening Friday dinner, hosted by John Fraser and his wife, Elizabeth, at
Massey College, set the standard, with Norm Bracht arriving from Bogota,
Colombia, as the surprise guest. The
Bredins and Sadleirs had a splendid
time with their former students,
who had aged remarkably well. The
"stag" Saturday evening, provided
by the UCC Association at the
College, was followed on Sunday
with a gourmet brunch hosted by
Fran and Rob Woodroofe at their
splendid home. Bob Hyland
unhooked some tubes and, with his
wife, Cathy, escorted me [John
Parsons] from SMH, where I was
temporarily residing. Chemistry
enthusiasts were pleased to see spe-
cial guest Keith Bonneyman and his
lady friend. The weekend drew back
many classmates who had gone
missing. For me, it was a special
treat to see Monty Wood (from
B.C.), Simon Davies of London,
Ont., and John Glassco, from out-
side of Kingston, Ont., who visited
me in the hospital. The latter two
took up the offer to be billeted and
stayed at the grand home of Heather
and Mike Gardiner. Special thanks
to Gerry Pielsticker for taking pho-
tos and Norm Bracht for all the
post-reunion e-mails to classmates.

Bob Bierman came from Montreal, Joost Bakker from Vancouver and Bela
Fejer was here from Hungary. In June, Bela subsequently hosted a mini-
reunion of '63 in Budapest with the opening of the renovated Gresham
Palace hotel. Tony Chisholm and his wife, Barb, were among the couples
who participated in the reunion. Tony has since joined the College's new
mentoring program, Common Ties; at a recent event, he was the oldest
mentor and encouraged others to join: "Very well set up. I was quite
impressed." Ted Simmonds attended the Association dinner at the College,
adding to the class bachelors now participating. Ted retired from teaching
after 20 years as head of English and now splits his time between his home
in Caledon and cottage on a remote island in Georgian Bay. Ted continues
to sing in a church choir, assist in the Optimist Club of Caledon and sus-
tain his interest in wooden boats. Two classmates on opposite coasts,
Martin Golder and Peter Ayers, couldn't attend. Martin is architecting "an
exciting super green project" in downtown Victoria: "ground-source heat
recharged by solar in the summer," he says. "My son is a banker, and my
daughter a bureaucrat. Love them both, but what happened? I brought
them up as good hippies!" Peter Ayers wandered the world before settling
down as the only UCC Old Boy in Newfoundland, or so it seems. Peter has
been teaching at Memorial, preceded there by his wife. They have two
young children. Before Memorial, Peter taught in Saudi Arabia, England,
Nigeria and at UBC, and, along the way, finished his PhD. John Fraser con-
tinues to add to his honours, receiving an honorary Doctor of Civil Laws
from the University of King's College in Halifax, where his eldest daughter,
Jessie, is a student. John and his wife, Elizabeth MacCallum, recently pub-
lished a book on Georgian Bay, Mad
About the Bay, and John was re-elected to
another term as master of Massey College.
I missed mentioning last year that David
Sisam was one of the Old Boys selected to
exhibit in the Prep Centenary Art Show
held in September 2002. George Pepall
has been a regular feature at the College
and in its publications as president of the
Canadian Student Debating Federation
that established strong links with UCC.
As most '63s know, we lost classmate
Doug Jones last year. After a long illness,
Doug succumbed late in November. A
celebration of Doug's life was held at the
Rosedale Golf Club, where approximately
400 people saw a video prepared by two of
his children, followed by some humorous
reminiscence. Mike Gardiner and John
Mills attended, while Tom Leverty spoke
and wrote an obituary: "Well-travelled,
well read... entrepreneurial spirit... talent-
ed athlete, who enjoyed participating in
many sports... and a born salesman."
Naturally, Doug's hockey career was fea-
tured, including his trip to Switzerland
with the Varsity Blues for the World
Student Games in 1968. Many of Doug's
former teammates attended.

Taylor and John Chittick. Bob Hutchinson came from North Bay, and
local notables included Peter Rekai, Dan Andreae, Hollis Brent, Gordon
Davies, Gary Foulds, Rein Lehari, Paul Harricks, Geoff Mills, Bruce

marathons, shaving beards, comb-overs, comb-forwards and other more
devious means of defying the aging process. Beyond that, the class contin-
ues to distinguish itself in professional and extracurricular activities. Jock
Lowndes has schooled his two wonderful girls on all of Sting's music and

homepage of Sting.com, after they successfully stalked him in a Montreal

1985 Paul Andersen, Class President

In November 2003, in anticipation of the run-up to the LC85 20-year
reunion, the class conducted a forward-looking planning meeting at the
appropriately named Senior's Steakhouse, with breakout symposium ses-
sions held immediately afterwards at nearby Scallywags. Class President
Paul Andersen, hungry accountant, took attendance, determined a quorum
was not achieved, skipped dessert (he was the only one who had the "large"
Senior's Special) and relocated the group around the corner. Scallywags set
aside considerable meeting space for us and, upon achieving quorum, Ando

offered those in attendance an update on recent matters pertaining to the
school, including fee structures for day boys and boarders, news on the new
principal, and fundraising achievements. (Actually, none of this happened,
but he did offer everyone a drink, which is far better when you think about
it.) Philip Benson then made a motion to focus on revelry and cama-
raderie, and several seconded this. The motion passed unanimously. Phil
also indicated an interest in organizing LC85 seminars on good marks-
manship in terms of both wise investing and good shooting. We have
entrusted him with organizing a fall seminar on the latter. (Geoff Taylor
and Alex Shaw have recendy been volunteered,
unbeknownst to them, let us call it Guest
Voluntarism 2004, to ensure Phil produces a fine
get-together in the fall.) Andy Callum was in
good form, having arrived just after a hard-
fought men's hockey league victory. He was
most recendy CFO of Alliance Atlantis, but
spends most of his time whipping up cheese-
burgers and chocolate shakes for his kids and
chauffeuring them around to various engage-
ments. Donald Cowper regaled many with his
gob-smacking double life as a professional busi-
ness and organizational voyeur. We all look for-
ward to getting signed copies of the book and —
some of us at least — want an option on the
movie rights! Sometimes, when he isn't telling
jaw-dropping tales of corporate ineffectiveness,
Don specializes in helping organizations grow market share and increase
productivity by improving the practice development capability of their
advisers and agents. He is associated with the Covenant Group. Todd
Dalglish is vice-president, investment banking, at National Bank after relo-
cating from New York with his wife, Linda, and two boys. Walter Davison
is vice-principal at Country Day School and offered convincing arguments
— to more than a few Old Boys on hand — about the merits of co-educa-
tional independent education and its favourable comparison with other
educational models and options. Tim Fairhead continues to amaze his less
physically diligent peers. He took home top prize for being the Old Boy least
likely to develop a potbelly. Andy Philip, regional brand director with
Corby Distilleries in B.C., is on record extolling the merits of Jeff Larkin's
ab roller and took credit for his fellow Weddite's impressive appearance.
Frank Gerstein slid by to touch base and retains his title as the best-dressed
member of our class. He's still purchasing shopping malls and other real
estate for Riocan. Ron Hatcher was in top shape, metaphorically, and still
could (again metaphorically) line up defensively for the 1st Team, although
we doubt he would be so useful on downfield punt coverage (this time lit-
erally, not metaphorically). His private law practice is growing rapidly. He
specializes in mortgages and real estate transactions. Brian Hardie was on
hand to discuss with Simon Burke the merits of a liberal arts education on
the Otonabee River, as both spent some happy days at Trent University.
Andrew Hunter took time out from working on his power skating to drop
in... he was in the process of launching a new company focused on "food
for the single guy." John Langford made it! John continues to build one of
Ontario's pre-eminent wilderness educational tour companies, Voyageur
Quest. He seemed keen, or so we surmised, on hosting a 20-year reunion
for some Old Boys' families in 2005. More to follow. Scott Littler was there
and had to put up with numerous requests for "Paul Coffey time." You'd

think that Scott would be able to get his brother-in-law out to an LC85
function now that he's retired and living in Toronto. Rajiv Persaud runs a
printing and graphics business — check out his work on the last class
newsletter. Rajiv also offered to be the photographer for the 20th reunion.
John Pitblado is still leading the sweet life of an independent TV producer.
His speciality is live-action sports. He expressed an interest in document-
ing the age-old rivalry associated with a Wedd's-Seaton's Golden Skate
House Hockey Championship. David Shepherd had his usual bonhomie
and Cheshire grin on display. Shep was without his usual tan, as it looks
like he is back to work following a short-lived early retirement after selling
his stake in Janna Systems to Siebel in 2000. Beware Shep without a tan. Phil
Smith, the guest analyst on CBC Business World, who broke the Janna
Systems story back in September 2000, was as solid as usual... keeping his
Ironman streak of perfect attendance at LC85 get-togethers intact. Phil still
plays rugby and would be pleased to organize a side get-together to train for
a geriatric-style wilderness 7s to be held at John Langford's log-cabin prop-
erty next year. Those willing to make the commitment to 6 a.m. circuits
thrice weekly in the old gym should look him up. Paul Swanson took a
break from his job as corporate counsel to drop by and delight us with sto-
ries of lawsuits. Paul was also in charge of the post-function entertainment.
Richard Tattersall showed baby pictures. He continues to manage lots of
other people's money at Heathbridge Capital. David Vasoff is with TD and
commutes daily to downtown Toronto from his home in Barrie, Ont.,
where he lives with his family. Ted Willcocks is vice-president in charge of
Manulife's real estate portfolio and spends most of his time travelling the
globe. Regrets came from classmates, including Brian Cartwright, Geoff
Courts, David Fingold, Geoff Mcllroy, Michael Stewart, Norm Hardie,
Richard Phillips, Tom Toth, Raghu Krishnan, Ryerson Symons, David
Webster, Nelson Jorginson, Brian Cole and David van Wees. A few of the
lads passed along comments. "I moved to Hong Kong to join the Private
Bank of HSBC in February. If you guys are coming over to Asia, let me
know." — Andrew Lo. "Just had our second daughter (Rebecca) on Oct.
26th, so spread the word to the boys! Regards from rainy Vancouver." —
Andy Philip. "Briefly: Married August 2002 to Jill and we just became par-
ents to Jessica Susan. I teach and run a boarding house at Shawnigan Lake
School, where I am also (go figure) the head rowing coach. I was back east
in the summer for Norm's wedding, which was great (my father officiated).
For recreation, I am playing hockey, and after 30 years can finally stop a few
shots." — David Hutchison. "I've moved to SupportSoft, where I head up
the Digital Services Product Marketing team. Emily is now eight and
Evelyn is three. We're still adjusting to the California sun, a bankrupt state
economy and Ah-nuld as governor." — James Morehead. "Please say hi to
everyone... I'd love to reconnect with any and all classmates." — John
Stevenson. "In case you have not heard, we have a new addition to the fam-
ily: our first child, Gillian Brooke Lee. Please send our best to everyone and
please drop by to visit us if you ever find yourself in Boston." — Joseph Lee.
"I'm writing to report that I will be in Africa on vacation on that date. I was
going to say unfortunately, but since this is the trip of a lifetime that would
be a lie. It's also a long delayed honeymoon. A brief update on me: still liv-
ing happily in Ottawa with my wife, Jennifer Hunter (no relation to Andy
as far as I know), no kids yet, but it's a looming possibility. I'm managing a
one-year-old technology startup, hoping to build next-generation Internet
hardware. It's financed by local knight Sir Terry Matthews. Recently had
lunch with Tony Tremain, who is about to head back to Toronto after a
brief stay here. And am planning to see John Macintosh, his wife and three

daughters in London en route to Uganda." — Rob Steen. Here are a few
more (non-reunion) notes: Atsushi Sunami is an associate professor (visit-
ing scholar) at the Japanese National Institute of Science and Technology in
Tokyo. George Brown and his wife, Jamie Thornhill, now have two boys,
Edward (1999) and Daniel (2003). Raghu Krishnan works for the Ontario
Legislature as a simultaneous interpreter. He and Veronica have a baby girl,
Uma Gonzalez Krishnan, born last December 5. Tony Tremain is supply
teaching at a number of schools, including UCC. Last note to all of you we
have not touched base with recently, (you know who you are). Please drop
any of Paul (paul@fa.ca), Simon (simon.burke@jus.gov.on.ca) or Ted
(ted_willcocks@manulife.com) a line and let us know your address and
phone number so we can call you repeatedly and maybe drop by unan-
