July 27, 2013 -- Save the Date!

Hope you've already marked July 27th on your calendar -- that's the big day for our reunion in honour of the 40th anniversary of the Historic Naval and Military Establishments. The main event being organized by the reunion committee is an evening boat cruise on the venerable Georgian Queen. We're hoping that tickets will be in the $25-$30 range (depending on total numbers attending). Price includes a buffet dinner. During the day, you may choose to tour the site and see what's changed (and what's still the same), take in a matinee at the King's Wharf Theatre, or arrange to get together with other summer staff from your era. Our reunion isn't an official Discovery Harbour event; so remember if you have any questions, photos to share, or just want to give a shout-out to other alumni, you can always use the comment link below any blog post or email the reunion committee directly at hnme2013@gmail.com. To make sure you don't miss any updates, put your email address in the handy little box over on the right to receive a notice whenever this blog is updated. 
One alumnus who will be familiar to many, Peter Mount (aka Puppy Chow!), has offered to host a barbecue the evening of Friday, July 26th for those who are planning to make a weekend of it. (Eighties staff may have memories -- possibly foggy ones! -- of the M&M barbecues held before summer staff boat cruises.)
Now here's a true blast from the past, thanks to Geraldine (St. Amant) Brewer: the staff photo of the first HNMEers, back in 1973!
