It’s been an eventful summer in Canada for alumni of the Class of 1969, a time for renewing longtime friendships and celebrating 55 years since completing Form 5 at Raimondi College.
Out-of-town classmates came visiting. Everyone was looking great!
The steady flow of visitors to Toronto started early in the season.
