Barbara Dunn shares this memory - As always, I enjoyed reading the latest issue of The NetLetter #1519 especially the article about the French Immersion course in Jonquière. I was lucky to attend this course in 1982. The family I lived with M and Mme Vaillancourt and their 3 sons, who were given very strict instructions about speaking English to me and this was followed to the letter. It was not until the last dinner with the family that I discovered that the 3 sons all spoke perfect English. The experience was invaluable and one I remember fondly. While speaking French in Vancouver was not the norm, I did manage to maintain my bilingual status for the rest of my career. As a Greencoat volunteer at YVR, I am always surprised at what is still in my memory bank after all these years. Thanks for the memories, Barb |

Diane Kleiman Bellamy shares this memory - My husband, David, and I had a wonderful experience with Calm Air about 15 years ago on our trip to Churchill, Manitoba to visit the polar bears. We few from Winnipeg to Churchill with a quick stop in Thompson. We enjoyed a wonderful full meal and terrific service. The return trip was equally enjoyable. Diane Kleiman Bellamy, AC 1967-1998 |
