Richard Rankin came down this weekend to explore Chateauguay as it is now.

The cycling paths were in fine form and on Sunday the weather was great.

There were some great stories! ...Some were actually in the making that Saturday Night!

(All pictures in this and the previous two blog entries were submitted by Richard Rankin -Photographer and Lawyer Extrordinaire. Should you wish copies, let me know and I shall put you in touch with Richard.)

In one of the pictures at the bottom of this posting you will see a darkened image of people sitting in the auditorium listening to my silliness on stage... but the interesting image is that of the man standing in back of Stephen Williams, Carol Brophy and Jacquie Ross (-yes that is Stephen Williams) ... if you can make out the man standing, you will re-discover the lovable Mr.Guindi!

This weekend was a keeper. I really feared we might have a stilted and awkward overly structured thing. But you all brought it alive. Spontaneity blended into joviality and then erupted into a party of old friends brought together at the magical juncture of a loop in time.

Look at the faces below. I am truly sorry I did not go to some people's houses in Chateauguay and simply drag them out kicking and screaming. Imagine- 75 % came from outside the province.

So many people so little time to really connect - but by God- what a time, what a dream!

The Making of Memories

So-? Did we have fun? Was it worth the effort?
Let the pictures answer.
