What do YOU remember about Nelson?

It was suggested to me that I start a thread that asks the question, "what do you remember about Nelson? So, I'm starting it.

Since I graduated in 1977 (egads, that was decades ago!), my memory is a little sketchy - or maybe it's because there are lots of things that I prefer to forget - but one thing does stand out. I can remember my very first locker in grade 9. Locker #1. That locker is still downstairs, beside the boys washroom, and across from what used to be the drafting classroom (now our SPED room). I figured I had the best locker in the whole school, because only boys took drafting, and they constanly streamed from that classroom and into the washroom, no matter what time of the day I needed to be at my locker.

Somewhere on the inside of the door of that locker is a series of notches, one for each of the guys that I dreamed of asking me to the next school dance.....

Are you Coming to the Anniversary?

Well, the countdown has started (at least in MY calendar!). There are only 5 months between now and the fabulous celebration that we've planned for Nelson's 50th Anniversary. Our website is up and running, and hopefully the official registration forms will be up and available in the next several weeks.

I've had a number of folks ask me "So, who's coming?" Good question. At this point, since we don't have the official registration running yet, my answer is, "Well, I know I'll be there".

How about you? Are you coming? Maybe we can use this blog as an unoffical list. I can't promise to update it regularly, but I can open it up to YOU to add your name!
