CLARK, Robert W 6072 – 1587 St. Lawrence Ave., RR # 1, Treasurer Island, Kingston, ON K7L 4V1 (R613-546-0022) (Fax: 613-549-8410)(E-Mail: bobmyr@adan.kingston.net)(Myrna) – CAN’T CHANGE HISTORY.  (Bob – What can you say when you are having a good time – Barney).

 CHECKERIS, Ernie J 2581 – Teen Tree Pah, 2069 Sunnyside Road, Sudbury, ON P3G 1H9 (R705-522-5456) (Muiriel) – I just turned 79 and heading for the 80’s.  Titanium knee is real good – except at the airport – it sure makes a buzz, but they feel my knee and all is well.  Here are a few bucks.  It’s great to keep in touch with the gang of old – but they are shrinking. That guy Barney is sure on top of the a/c receivables and it is a pleasure to be a member and maintain memories. It sure helped this Greek kid to own and operate a business, to be retired and enjoy the noises of my children and grand kids. I do enjoy good health and ask those Greek Gods to smile on the Canada J.C.I. Senate. (Ernie – Yes Barney does a great job with the Newsletter, finances and trying to keep us on track.  We all received a lot from our membership in Jaycees – Charles.

PROSENYAK, Stephen J 1365 – 214 Banbury Road, Don Mills, ON M3B 3C5 (R416-449-6189) (Eleanor) – I appreciate receiving the Newsletters, thank you Charles, Barney and Molly. Do find the enclosed contribution and also some news.  Things have been hectic in our lives – much to do health wise, including twice a week physiotherapy for both of us. That did not prevent some art work including shows at the C.N.L., Budapest, Hungary and a number of local events – albeit on a limited scale.

Our most recent event was to attend the Quebec Winter Carnival in its closing week. This year was the “BIG ONE” - yep this Carnival has been going since 1954 – thus celebrating its 50th year.  Thirty businessmen and a ready made contingent of groups, like the Quebec Junior Board of Trade (It was my privilege to be the incumbent President), skiers, curlers, University students, civil employees, snow shoe members, and LaJeune Chambre supplied the resources to start things off in 1954 with the first crowning of the Queen. The local Quebec Chronicle Telegraph newspaper featured the Carnival in a special edition and the Junior Board of Trade is prominent in the report. Individually mentioned because of long association are Senators George Leebosh 2004, Roland F Jarjour 11363 and yours truly. There were many fellow members equally deserving recognition. The entire unit worked together.

The Carnival events were exciting – specifically the Ice Canoe Race across the St. Lawrence.  Senator Pete Kennedy 7876 had his Calgary team really trying but despite wife Dorothy’s best efforts, said they would try harder next year! Also helping out the Calgarians was Brother Albert Prosenyak 14825 with whom Eleanor and I visited – he has been Carnival involved for over three decades. The highlight of the celebrations was the 50th Carnival Queens formal ball held at the Chateau Frontenac. It was a Cinderella affair. Eleanor and I enjoyed meeting the other “oldies” including Carnival Queen 1955 – Estelle Cote Boucher. What fun and the final event of the celebrations was the upper town parade – featuring Bonhomme accompanied by floats, musical and parading groups. The weather co-operated somewhat, there was more snow (not needed), the temperature dropped to -30F (not appreciated), but as usual the Quebecers and visitors let “naught” stand between them and a good time.    “VIVE LE CARNIVAL”  

INGLIS, Thomas H 2413 – 1107 – 1320 Islington Ave., Etobicoke, ON M9A 5C6 (R416-231-6042) (E-Mail: thomashinglis@aol.com) (Lena) – I don’t know if anyone has notified you that Patricia, the wife of Senator Gordon A Wiley 10494 passed away last month. Gordon was President of the Toronto Junior Board of Trade who was responsible for Toronto going 100% for J.C.I. which was an accomplishment back about 1962. (Thomas – Our condolences go out to Gordon and his family – Barney).

BUTTERFIELD, C Edward 16632 – 1775 Layton Dr., North Vancouver, BC V7N 1X7 (R604-929-1991) (Fax: 604-924-1044) (E-Mail: tbutterfield@shaw.ca) (Fay ML 023) - Got the newsletter tonight and decided to get the cheque in the mail with this note. Saw that Derek and Bea Betts still hold out in northern Manitoba.  They left Calgary about the same time Fay and I left to come West in ‘73.  Do you still host ‘Scorpian parties’ Derek, or is that a long ago fond memory from Calgary days?  Fay and I celebrated our 40th in Jan and will reward ourselves with a trip to Europe in May with another 40th year Jaycee couple, the Thompson’s. Time flies when you are having fun.  Still working for now as CFO of a public company, but may look to apply my experience to a consulting role someday in the future.

GROOMBRIDGE, Leslie G 364 – 1648 Waddell Ave., Peterborough, ON K9K 2G8 (R705-741-0686) (Fax: 705-741-1547) (Laura) – Enclosed is my contribution for 2004. I continue to look forward to the Newsletter. I had a young man knock on my door last November who was looking for votes as a Councilor for Peterborough.  When seeking information from him he mentioned he was a former Jaycee from, I believe, Mississauga and in fact was a Past President of that group.  When I learned he was a past Jaycee, I invited him to set and we had a long chat. Needless to say I supported him both financially and at the polls.  He did not get elected but sure carried on the spirit, of Jaycees. (Leslie – I am sure that after your talk with him and also loosing the election, he will seek you out in the future for further advice – Barney).

FOUBERT, Tony 311249 – 829 Essa Road, Barrie, ON L4N 9G5 (R705-721-5246) (E-Mail: bfoubert@georgianc.on.ca) (Beverley ML 130) – Thanks for the Newsletter again. I am very busy here in Barrie working for the City as a Prosecutor, but loving my new job. Our Senate group still meets on Friday evenings with out better halves and often end up talking about the good old times. Senator Willard Everton 18338 has been quite ill and we don’t see much of Willard but our thoughts are with him and hoping he starts feeling his old self again soon. Senator Jim Shellswell 14300 passed away Jan 28, 2004. He had been fighting cancer for the past five years and it finally won, but Jim gave it a great fight. He will be missed by all of us here in Barrie. At his funeral at least 10 Senators, Maple Leafs and several past Jaycees/Jaycettes were in attendance which was so great to see the representation from the old boys. Hope to get to Calgary for the 2005 Crew Meeting.  It’s been a long time since I have attended and Calgary boys always know how to put on a good show. (Tony – Please pass on our condolences to Patricia and her family – Barney).

(131 Pope St., Plimmerton, Wellington, NZ (E-Mail: nzjc.senators@xtra.co.nz) I send greetings from New Zealand and thank you for your February Newsletter. The New Zealand Senators are very active particularly with local functions and get together. We have been able with the updating of our data base to assist a number of regional groups to contact Senators who may have moved out of their area and this has increased the number of Senators getting together. Some Regional Senate groups are encouraging past Jaycees to attend get togethers with Senate groups. A lunch in Wellington recently was attended by 140 Senators, passed Jaycees and partners, enjoying a very pleasant Sunday lunch. In October 2003 some 40 Senators and partners joined with the Jaycees at their National Convention in Cromwell to hold the Senate AGM. This is the second year that we have again been part of the Jaycee Convention and we will join with them in Tauranga for their 2004 convention. Again Barney - thank you for your Newsletter.
