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):
I also invited some friends and the whole U of C Conducting Diploma Course from this year. In attendance from those invitees were:
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 PicturesHere's a good group shot. From left to right around the circle: Duane, John, Helen, Kristof, Allen, Jordan, Deb, Dagny, Deanna (who is slightly blocked by...), Carole, and the back of Wim's hair. Jordan (far right) poses with his foreign beer. We see the back of John and Duane, plus Carole and Darrell (Carole is the one with the longer hair, although not by much). In the background, we see the MacGregor family barbeque, graciously loaned for this function. In the shadows is Anthony's massive raspberry patch (more on that later). A shot from fairly early in the party. Left to right are Deb, Deanna, Dagny, Jordan, Heather, and Carole. In the centre is a bowl of raspberries! I can hear those hard drives spinning as all you leg men out there save this picture. Yowsa! Very much like the group shot, but Liam is playing with his keys in the foreground. A good shot of Duane, just before he breaks my lawn chair! :-) OK, so the fabric was weak and the chair is quite old. Just behind Duane in the picture is Francis. Allen is keeping an eye on his boys (Kristof is hidden behind John). It's getting a little closer to dusk, and we have more guests! From left to right are Francis, Allen, Helen (spoon-feeding Kristof), Doug, Jennifer, and Duane. Also, a good shot of Carole's loooooong hair. A good time was had by all! |
