Anthony's Third-of-a-Century Celebration (1996)
About The Party...
Anthony's Third-of-a-Century Celebration was held on August 10, 1996 and was attended by a small but enthusiastic crowd. Some guests either made a special trip for the party or included us in their travel plans. It was a nice family gathering, and I am pleased to say that no one needed to use Anthony's traditional designated driver service!
In attendance were the following University of Calgary Music Department alumni and their families (in approximate arrival order):
- Carole Berger (the long-distance traveller award winner)
- Deanna, Jordan, and Dagny MacGregor (thanks for bringing the BBQ!)
- Darrell, Wim, and Liam Croft (runners-up for the long-distance travellers award)
- Allen, Helen, Francis, and Kristof Melling (well, they came from the extreme south end of town, so that's almost as far)
- Doug Nishimura and Jennifer Gilmour (just got back from Ottawa and still found time to stop by!)
Bios of the above attendees, plus some of those who couldn't attend, are available from my People Profiles page. As time permits, I will replace my personal observations with those supplied by the subjects themselves.
I also invited some friends and the whole U of C Conducting Diploma Course from this year. In attendance from those invitees were:
- Heather Boyd (she actually met me back when I was in University, so she qualified on grounds other then being a good friend)
- John Watson & Deb I-can't-remember-her-last-name-right-now. [July 1998 note: I heard that these two might have married. Anyone know for sure?]
- The late shift: Sheryl Bowhay, Nathalie Fortin & Greg Lindahl arrived just as the party had wrapped up (sorry, folks!)
Many thanks to Heather, Deanna, Carole, and Jordan for helping out with the last-minute details (that I had trouble getting to because of the Conducting Course and the extensive power blackout). A good time was had by all. :-)
Party Pictures
Yes, indeed! The party pix are here! You can see how ancient, er, mature some of the people depicted in my Pix From The Past page look now.
