To A Wonderful Staff,
I was wondering if I could look at the 1935 Mount St. Charles year book in which my father was in. I have been there this Labor day, September 3, 2012. I was fascinated in talking with a girl who went to the same school with me, her name was Mrs. Peloquin.
I also met my daughter's principal, Mr. Peloquin , where he was at Halliwell School when my daughter, Anne-Marie was 8 years old who is now a nurse and she is 40 years old.
I thought the play was well done and the actors were so real in that time period. I enjoyed everything, but most of all was the living room with the player piano, just like I remembered at my Grandmother Rose Helene Forcier Plante and Emile Plante's home so many fond memories ago.
Thank you for all for a wonderful day!
Great staff, friendly and informative :)
