boys. Donald, who graduated from Carleton University in mechanical engineering, is married and living in Toronto where he is engineering manager, property special risks with an insurance company. Vivian received her degree in physical education from the University of Ottawa and is raising a daughter and two sons in Montreal. Paul went to Carleton University, is single and is now pursuing a business career in Ottawa.

George’s career in Montreal and Ottawa was basically as a communicator. He was a magazine editor with two Montreal publishing companies, and in 1970 his fellow editors elected him president of the Business Press Editors Association, a national body. He also spent some exciting years as chief writer and an account executive with a Montreal advertising agency as well as promotion manager with two publishing houses.

After nearly 20 years in Montreal. George moved to Ottawa and entered public servant with the federal government. He became a public affairs specialist with a wide range of duties. He gained recognition as a senior speech writer, as well as, providing “speaking notes” for cabinet ministers, members of parliament and senators. An enjoyable sideline was writing science scripts for the CBC International Service and narrating them on-air to short wave radio listeners around the world.

Following a 17- year career with the federal government, George set up his own firm, Keefe Communications in 1987, working part-time and spending 10 winters with Jeannine in Fort Myers, Florida.

St. Dunstan’s? “I loved it. It was my second home and the place where I spent many Thanksgiving and Easter breaks while others lefi campus. My degree opened doors for me in Upper Canada and enriched my life in many ways. I was shocked and saddened to hear of its demise.” George says. He likes to remind people that our class produced three published poets: Frank Ledwell, Bert Lannan, and himself (Sounding Off in 1969 and Dance with the Evening Star, in 1997).

As Gerry Robertson wrote in one of her letters to George after class members had banded together to help her purchase an electric- powered wheelchair: “They said we would not amount to much, but we showed them.” Right on.
