- What a wonderful idea this web site!!! I have often wondered where my old school buddies are and what they're up to. As for me, I work at the Ministère du Revenu in Sept-Iles. I'm the one that answers all those wonderful questions on income taxes. I am married (4 years now) and have a beautiful boy that's 2 years old named Patrick (not named after Patrick Freud, but he seems to think so, ha ha). Next move : a second baby, hopefully by next summer. My e-mail is : andresandra60@hotmail.com . Email me :)
Duford, Bruce
- I want to tell you a little about our old pal Bruce Duford. Bruce is still Bruce and hasn't changed any...He's living in Sept-Iles but looking in Ottawa for something more stable, any suggestions?? He still loves his music and travels a great deal. As far as the rumors go about his health, I can assure you he is doing EXCELLENT!!! He would probably surpass any of us and will probably outlast any of us! (Carl Gagnon)

Freud, Patrick (website : www.drfreud.ca)
"- After completing a Bachelor's in Anatomy at McGill, I "giddy-upped" to Dallas to go to Chiropractic school. I then ended up in Florida for 2 years (poor me) where I taught and practiced part-time. In December '98, I decided to quit my job and move back to La Belle Province. I practiced 6 months in "the islands" with Marco Coulombe. I then moved to Montreal where I currently teach Gross Anatomy to Medical students at McGill and practice in my chiropractic office in Montreal (NDG near Vendome metro) at the "Queen Elizabeth Health Complex" (from QEHS to QEHC!). Check out my website at www.drfreud.ca . (email : drfreud@drfreud.ca) or call me at 514-483-3444 anytime!
Update January 18th :
- Hello everyone!
- It is my great pleasure to let you know that after 33 hours of labour, Tracy gave birth to Philip Thomas Freud on Monday, January 19, at 1:10pm.
- He weighed a whopping 9 pounds, 6 ounces and was born in water at the Birthing Center in Pointe-Claire. Mom and baby are both in excellent health.
- He is rather mild-mannered, seems to enjoy doing Tai-chi, and has huge hands (perhaps a future chiropractor in the making!). Thank you all for your warm wishes and support.

Kwan, Philippe
-Hello, Class of 88! How’s everyone doing these days? Fine I hope.
-Has it really been 14 years since we graduated? Wow, the time has passed-by fast! I remember high school like it was yesterday – of course, all those teenage TV shows and films do help you to remember, or hinder you to forget, our high school lives.
-In 1998 - on our tenth anniversary - did you guys watch our graduation video and reopen the class yearbook, and couldn’t stop giggling at our photos and the descriptions of ourselves back then with a tinged of sentimentalism? Okay, maybe it was just me.
- Anyways, as for me, I now live in Brossard - the south shore region of Montreal. No spouse or children. I graduated with a D.E.C. in Creative Arts from Dawson College in 1990 (fell in love with the sweet sensation of the college lifestyle and still living it), went back to Sept-Iles and then back to Montreal in 1993 for university. I finally graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from Concordia University in 2000. I am still at my university on a part-time basis as an Independent Student. Yes, I have become the embodiment of the slacker/career student – “What do you mean: ‘it’s time to change lifestyles?’” It’s every high school student’s worst nightmare. Those Queenie teachers didn’t teach me to know better! Just kidding.
- Every once in a while, I do wonder what happened to you all. I always enjoy reading your bios and adventures since graduation, so keep sending your bios and updates.
- Thanks.
- Well Class of 88, I guess that’s it for now. P. Kwan – August 8, 2002. My email address is : philippekwan@hotmail.com. Email me :)
Lavallée, Lucy
- Funny story here. I actually was introduced to her father in
Carleton Place, ON. Turns out her parents live there now and Lucy lives on

McKinnon, Leroy Todd
- Hi everyone, it's been a long time. This past November (2002) was the first time I visited QE since I graduated and the first person I ran into was my good friend and the real principal of the school, Lise Babin. It's hard to believe that it’s been 15 years since we (the class of 88') graduated.
- Anyway, here is a quick run down of the past 15 years. I left QE and graduated from St. Lawrence College in Quebec City then went on to St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia (BA Sociology). From there, I went to Durham College in Oshawa, Ontario and graduated with a Sports Administration Diploma.
- I currently live in Calgary and been working for the Western Hockey League (WHL) as the League's Director of Communications for the past four years. I am married, my wife and I met at University. I would love to hear from some of my old classmates. My email address is: leroymckinnon@yahoo.com.
Miller, Elizabeth

- Hi Everyone! Here’s an update as of September 2006 : I live in Denver, Colorado (Littleton, actually) with my husband, Eric.

I still work for Novozymes, a biotech based company selling enzymes to the fuel ethanol industry. I have also gotten into real estate lately and really enjoy this non-science field. Since High School, I’ve moved around quite a bit but this is now home and has been for 5 years. I try to stay active with running, biking, swimming, and SKIING. Drop me a line or come and visit us anytime. My email address is : cbelaski@comcast.net and phone is 303-984-7366.

Pringle (now Carey), Donna
- Hello everyone! This is such a fantastic idea! Believe it or not, I got married in October '99. I have taken my husband, Mark's, name so I am now Donna Carey. As far as education goes I have my Early Childhood Education and was working at a daycare at Ottawa U for about five years. I am now unemployed (3 days and counting). I plan to live a stressfree life for a little while. Hopefully start pumping out some children of our own.
There are so many people that I want to contact. I'll start with Beth Miller for now. I read you are in Ottawa and I would love to go for a beer or twelve!!!. I have no email address as of yet but I am in the book. I'm not sure if I am under Pringle or Carey. Please look me up.
The best of the holiday to everyone! I hope happiness is finding you!
