Murray Ord - Calgary, AB: Dear Fran, As Roberta Moore says in her note to you, while it may have been 40 years ago, I too, can still remember that handsome, strapping young lad from Calgary who joined our class and instantly made friends and connections with everyone. From a leader and star on our Cyclones Football Team to his hearty laugh and twinkle in his eyes to making a lasting impression on a diverse group of classmates - Jim is strong in my memories. It is no surprise to me that he touched the lives and positively influenced so many of his students and colleagues. It is also no surprise to me that he was so proud of you, your children and your grandchildren and was the #1 cheerleader for all of you. He was a terrific, stand-up guy and I am blessed to have known him. My thoughts & prayers to all of you, Murray

Michelle Drake - Moose Jaw, SK: Mr. Arnott was a wonderful teacher who cared about his students. He was the one who sparked my interest in woodworking. He really was a perfectionist who wanted nothing but the best from each and every student he taught. It wasn't until I was no longer his student that I appreciated his hard work and dedication. He truly was a great man.
