Our thanks to the 2025 Viscount Bennett High School reunion organizers, Rod Peterson and Dayle Conlin.

They host a reunion in May each year at Schanks Sports Grill in Calgary.

It’s open to all Viscount grads, teachers, from any year — and any +1 who wants to come along and shoot the breeze with ol’ timers.

After 25 years or more, former classmates look familiar — but I usually couldn’t quickly come up with their names. 😀

I attended Viscount Bennett High School in Calgary, graduating 1975.

Due to the area’s ageing population and the opening of other high schools nearby, after only 30 years Viscount Bennett closed in 1985.

Ron, Brian and myself were organizers of the 2000 reunion which was hosted in the old school — at that time a continuing education institution. 

The day before the 2025 reunion, I stopped by my ol’ school to check the state of demolition.

Sad. But change is inevitable.

I returned a student I.D. to our High School President, Greg Cole. He had dropped it in the time capsule, way back when.

Brenda Mikkelsen and Debbie Dalton made it.

Drinda Miller Rainville was there.

I was too busy chatting to take any photos.
