I believe that is Ken on the left and Pete on the right, showing pride in their institution of higher learning.

I do remember well going to a warehouse in Toronto ( or near T.O) and picking up a BSA 650 for Cyril, and working on it in the basement with Eddie. I don't think it was a lot of work, we may have just cleaned the carbs. OK OK the details are a bit vague, but when Ed started it without the mufflers, I could see blue flames coming out of the pipes, and it attracted attention of others who were home at the time.

Rosco's Wickedly Biting Riposte

Bruce: You may be on to something insofar as the blog needs something to attract contributions from our old friends. I can’t believe that it has to do with the technology or that people are too shy though. The technology may be confusing but it’s not mind-bogglingly complex (I confess that I occasionally consult my kids when things don’t work they way they should). And I was the shyest person I knew in those days; it hasn’t stopped me from doing the things I wanted to do. As for people being too busy – naah, lots of us are retired by now, the kids are gone (except mine?), we’re thinking about slowing down if we haven’t already, and you can make time for anything if it’s what you want to do. Are people concerned about their privacy? Sure, who isn’t? But we’re not asking people to reveal the intimate details of their lives unless they want to . . . more likely, people are afraid they’re going to have to put up with the intimate details of someone else’s life . . .
So maybe we do need those photos of Corbett and MJ (I’m sure it was ’98 not ’99). Maybe we need better prizes for the photo contests. Maybe we just need more time; after all, the reunion is still a year away.
I’m intrigued by the idea of “Where are they now?” postings and updates. I have one question though – does it have to be true? For example, most people don’t know that you spent six years on a mountaintop in BC before you started your own singles-only tanning salon in Northern Saskatchewan. Or that I was your only customer.
Whatever the answer is (what was the question?), I think it’s too soon to throw in the towel on this project. Simply because I know I’m interested in hearing from folks without having to jump aboard the Facebook bandwagon (remember when you had a face and book and they weren’t the same thing?) I think as long as we continue to keep it alive sooner or later it will flourish. If that means we have to tell people what we’ve been doing for the past thirty-some years so be it.
Now, about that mountaintop . . .
