Happy Halloween

It was the fashion of the day 40 years ago- now it's dress for Halloween.

Outdoor Club

Casey has been hiking with his school's Outdoor Club. First week they went to Lynn Canyon (forgot the camera). The second week was to Cypress Falls.

This past Friday the group went up Mt. Seymour. View from the parking lot.

Hall of Recognition 2013

Casey was in Montreal this past weekend because the 1964 Leo's Boys Juvenile football team for whom he played was being inducted into the Pointe St. Charles "Hall of Recognition". They were the first team to win the Dominion Football Championship (sometimes referred to as The Little Grey Cup) which was played in St. Boniface, Winnipeg. It was a very memorable and touching experience to be re-united with former teammates from 49 years ago.

Other inductees included Lorne 

"Gump" Worsley of the Montreal Canadiens, who also lived on Congregation St. just a few houses up from where Casey lived. Judy Stevens, Bernard Barnoff (Casey's Little League baseball coach), and David O'Neill (a very good friend also from the Pointe.)

 The field where Casey played football is now renovated with lights and bleachers.
