Reflections of the Reunionistas... and other Contemplations

Well then, since John Dufort feels the photo contests are too hard and inherently unfair, and Ross Taylor feels the blog is mostly just about the bloggers, and inherently narcissistic, we felt it was time to broaden our scope, to reach out to those old colleagues and comrades with whom we've shared a beer or a joint, a story or a particular adventure, or perhaps just a few late night shifts doing paste-up at the shop before headin' over for last call at the Station Hotel. Accordingly, we'd like to share with you an informal, mid-month, don't-have-a-prize-for-it-yet bonus photo contest:

As always, a small sampling of the usual commemorative questions:

1. So where was all this situated in time and space?
2. Why is everyone looking so serious?
3. Who have we got gathered here at such a contemplative moment?
4. What was for dinner that evening?
5. Who managed to stay up all night tending the campfire till sunrise the next morning?

Remember, you can click on the photo to see an enlarged version. Don't hold back, get those comments and heartfelt remembrances in for the rest of us to validate. Stay warm, be cool!... and when you get a chance, go check out some of Winnie's ideas and suggestions from last month's posting.

Seventh inning stretch

Yes, baseball and the World Series are over for another season, and it's rightfully time to be turning our attention towards more important things... like the Grey Cup, and curling, and next year's social calendar. To that end we are presenting the next in the (recently interrupted) series of monthly Dumont Press photo contests. Here are this month's questions:

1. Where and when was this game played?
2. Who are the five strapping young athletes in this photo?
3. Was Papper safe or out at second?
4. Who was playing third base that day?

Remember, you can just click on the image to see it full-size. Get your correct answers in to the Blog comments by November 28th (Grey Cup Sunday). There will be more cool prizes as soon as we find 'em! Keep those cards and letters coming!

The Search for a Reunion Site

Well, now we're beginning to understand the dearth of communiques lately from DUMOC (the Dumont Reunion Organizing Committee)... They're still out on the road on a quest for the perfect gathering spot for us all. A recent little note from Jane and Michael indicates they have checked out (and rejected) this pristine little glacial parking lot in Alaska... too close to Sarah Palin. Yikes!
