HORSE, 2014 Rides again

Truro

Truro rocked to Horse this weekend, for the first time in four decades. Wayne was a golden-throated kid again; Doug was rolling thunder; Abbey laid down licks Clapton would envy; Layne's legend grew ever greater; Phish never broke a sweat or missed a low-end groove; Paul was a virtuoso at keyboard and t-bone; and the new kid, Kenny slid in like he'd always been there and sent rock-sax shivers down 400 spines. Were these guys from southern California, The Eagles would have opened for them.

and from the Prairies...in March of this year

I really appreciate the news, as I had not heard about the reunion. My wife and I were home to Nova Scotia this past summer and attended the Blues Festival at the Truro Raceway. 

Regrettably, another trip across Canada this summer will not work, meaning I will miss this event. 


I will continue to follow the reunion news, as it would be great to see if everyone else looks as old as me. If my plans change, I will get in touch.

If anyone wants updates, send them my way. I live just outside Saskatoon in a small town called Warman. My wife is a Saskatchewan girl, who teaches in our local elementary school. We have 3 sons, all in their 20's now. I am a labour and employment lawyer and have had an exciting career moving in and out of companies, government and private law firms.


Enjoy the reunion!


- Gordon Hamilton 

and all the way from sunny California

From James Sterling: 

Marian, Ian; as of today i am now going to be scheduled for spinal surgery in the next few weeks. It has been avoided for the last few years, however with the increased pain and decreased mobility it is now necessary. Therefore I will not be able to travel from California to Truro to attend the reunion. Any information from the reunion would be greatly appreciated. That would include any contact lists, pictures and especially a copy of our yearbook (even digital) would be appreciated. I am willing to provide funds to cover the cost of any copies.

I know I am not alone in wishing Jim the very best care and speediest recovery ever all the way from Nova Scotia. It wudda been so very kewl to see you, friend.

Greetings from our Yearbook Editor!

Just touching base to wish you and the rest of the Class of '74 a most successful reunion weekend.  I applaud your efforts to pull this off, particularly your efforts to bring back HORSE for a night at the Legion.

Regrettably, work commitments preclude me from attending the events this weekend.  I did, however, venture to Truro in early July to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday.  You may have had her as your English teacher?  I will be thinking of you all, especially on Saturday night as you listen to Broken Wings yet again.  How cool.

Please pass along my good wishes as well to members of the band, with a special hello to Wayne.  Please share with him that I remember quite clearly visiting him and some of the band at his apartment to ask permission to use their photo in the yearbook.  As the editor of the yearbook, I was thrilled they agreed to share their photo and lyrics with our class, as they did indeed occupy a special place in our lives.  See if he remembers me, please.

Again, best wishes for a successful and enjoyable weekend.

Sincerely,

Bruce McDade

Class of 1974 40th Anniversary Reunion


Friday August 15th, 2014 – Reception – 7:00 pm – 12:00 pm

Our 40th Anniversary Reunion will kick-off with a reception in the CEC Foyer on Friday evening for Class of ‘74 members. Lots of conversation and laughs, a chance to renew old friendships, and plenty of good times! The evening will include a cash bar (wine and beer), snacks, tours of CEC, and memorabilia. A $10 admission will be collected at the door to help cover costs. Any profits will be donated to the Class of 74 Scholarship.


Class of ’74 Scholarship
– At our 2004 reunion, a Class of 1974 Scholarship was established in support of Cobequid Educational Centre’s Scholarships and Awards program. The scholarship is given on behalf of our Class to a graduating student that has demonstrated a strong commitment to CEC, either through academics, athletics, or student life. To date, almost $3,000 has been raised. This year we hope to raise another $3,000.

Please help us reach our goal! Any and all contributions will be gratefully accepted. CEC has registered charitable tax status so your generous donations would qualify for a tax credit of approximately 40%.

Please make cheques payable to: CEC SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS and send to Brian Kinsman, 6 Webster Lane, Truro, N.S., B2N 1W7. Donations will also be accepted at our August 15th Reception. Tax receipts will be issued by CEC. For further information, contact Brian at bkinsman@truro.ca.

Saturday August 16th - Meet and Greet - 7-9:00PM

Enjoy cash bar and snacks for a couple of hours, a pre-game warm up! Included with your ticket to see HORSE play just for us! The guys have been gathering from all over NS, monthly to practice the tunes we knew so well.

Let's show them some support and BE THERE!

Dance from 9-1:30, cash bar. Pre-paid tickets only!

Tickets still available. $35.00 each.

Paypal accepted at the top right. (processing fee added.)

Paypal button

The Paypal button to the right is a gateway to Paypal's secure shopping cart. You must select the number of tickets from the drop down menu. Otherwise it defaults to 1 ticket. I also removed the tax option as these tickets are not taxable.

Sorry for any confusion.
