In a nutshell, please describe your life since high school.

Sang with the Calgary Opera for 8 years until we had children. Now I keep busy with my family and sing for Church and Church functions. Love gardening and spending time with my family, watching them grow into wonderful young adults who are going out into the world to make it a better place. As of 2013 I'm back in the Calgary Opera starting rehearsals in November for The Flying Dutchman that plays in February 2014. So happy to be returning to the stage after so many years.

If you attended the 25th reunion in Sept. 2008, did you have a good time? what memories do you have of it? Please tell any and all stories!

I didn't manage to attend the night of the reunion, however; a few of us met at Bella Roma in Lakeview the Monday evening following the reunion. It was really nice to catch up with those who attended.

What sticks in your mind as the most memorable event for you while attending Central?

School musicals and the Band/Choir trip to Toronto.

What is most memorable for you about the After Grad Party on Saturday night?

The after party that my parents threw for my friends and me.

Did you play on any athletic teams? If yes, on what teams? If you weren't a jock, did you partake in any extracurricular activities or clubs? If so, what?

Part of the school musicals

If there was a 30th reunion (gasp) in 2013, would you attend?

Yes

Hi Kevin. Are you going to our reunion in September? I was chatting with Ron Motteram and I think he is going to attend. I’d love to catch up in person. Take care my friend
