Kemptville College Alumni wants to maintain ownership of all class pictures

The Kemptville College Alumni and North Grenville are disputing the ownership of many items from the College’s history. All class pictures are on the list. As board members of the Alumni of Kemptville College, we are asking our members to support and sign this petition and to include the year you graduated. The petition gives permission for your picture which is part of a class picture to be displayed at our historical building and not with North Grenville. The historical building is being built at the Lombardy Agricultural Fair Grounds.

Calling All Canes!

We have been informed that for some years, the Royal Presidents were presented with canes.

Their name and year was engraved on the cane and given to them to thank them for the work accomplished at College Royal weekend.

 

Here is a picture of Dwight Karren ( on the left ) presenting the Royal President’s cane to Tom Fahey, President of the ‘72 Royal.

 

The next picture shows the cane which is engraved with the name and date.

 

Do you know someone else that got a cane or did you get a cane yourself? If so please send a picture to the webmaster, bethmweir@gmail.com .

 

If you have a cane and would like to donate it to the new Alumni Historical Building, we will display it with your name and info.

Our Kemptville grads are always busy trying something new!

In August of 2014 after closing Classique Bridals, Kim Link ‘69 wanted to try something different. She took some private smocking lessons and she was hooked. The first picture shows one of her latest creations for a special little girl for Easter. Children in Ontario, Western Canada and United States are wearing her original creations. The other picture shows dresses that a lucky set of twins will be wearing this summer. Keep up the great work Kim!
