Donald E. Watt (1949), Don, a St. Lambertan through and through, was a keen hockey player, playing on both municipal teams as well as the Senior high school team, also served the school and his classmates as their Student Council President, graduating in the Class of 1949. He then enrolled at McGill University and later at the University of New Brunswick where he obtained his Master's Degree in Education.
Knowing and loving the South Shore communities where we grew up, Don went to work within the region right away and moved among the school system becoming principal of St. Stephen's School in Chambly, then a little closer to home, became principal of Royal George School in Greenfield Park. He then moved from there to become vice-principal and then principal of Howard S. Billings High School in Chateauguay, where we spent the rest of our lives together.
Like so many people in the 1950's Don & I married quite young and as a result spent 50 wonderful years together, raising our own family and thoroughly enjoying the 10 grandchildren they produced. Following Don's retirement, we started spending most of our winters in Florida, returning to Chateauguay for the summers, but with plenty of travelling whenever and wherever we could.
Those who got to know and appreciate Don well recognised him as a man to whom fairness and reason were highly important. We all think about him a lot and miss him very much.

Donald Hasting (1968). Don Hastings and I were inseparable from Grade 5, when as a newcomer to St. Lambert, I sat in front of him in Elspeth Fraser's class, which was arranged in alphabetical order. We discovered The Beatles together in 1963, and went on to form one of the dozens of bands spawned at CCHS in the '60s, playing several times at Cafe Twilight in the St. Barnabas Church Hall. Don went to become a high school principal, and passed away in 2005. He is sadly missed by all who knew his warmth and compassion.

Classmate and friend - Kathy Elliot - class of 1977 - died on February 19, 1979 after an extremely brief battle with cancer. She had just turned 19 and had so much life left to live.

Sorely missed by her classmates. submitted by Pam Parsons, Lana Skene, Kim Dever, Gillian Collis, Maureen McClintock.

Sister - Robin Barrett would have graduated with the Class of 1973. She died in October, 1972, days shy of her 16th birthday, leaving those who knew her amazed that such a bold light could be extinguished when we weren't looking. She used to stand straight up on the very top of Alexandra Park's monkey bars. That's how I remember her: tall andunafraid. Cindy (Barrett) McCammon

Steve Thomas - (Class of 1974) Everyone that you meet in life has an impact on you and changes you in some way, large or small, to make you what you are. Steve was one of the people in my life who had a large impact, and has had a lot to do with how I approach everything I do, every day. Ironically he was not able, for reasons that may never be certain, to utimately cope with all that life threw at him back in 1980, and took his own life one gloomy night in Montreal. A lot of Steve lives on in those that knew him, and I can say for sure that I would not be "who I am" if I had not met Steve. Not one day goes by that I don't think of him, and wish he were here. Gord Croucher (Class of 1974)

I remember Chris Ruiter very well as a Total James Dean character even though he graduated a couple years ahead of me.

Rappard

My brother Paul Douglas Schram died February 24, 1993 after a year long battle with cancer. Paul attended Chambly County High in the mid sixties for grades 8 through 10. After a run-in with a concept called subject promotion, Paul moved on to Stanstead College. He was a Constable for several years with the Peel Regional Police Force in Brampton, sold insurance for a while, then returned to the civilian side of the Police Service. Prior to his death he had established Peel's 911 service and continued on as co-ordinator. I'm sure Paul had many friends who moved on to graduate from Chambly County High.And yes, he loved cars right to the bitter end. I am saddened to read the names of some of my former classmates who have passed away as well, and wonder what they accomplished after they left school. So here I am, providing someone out there with just a glimpse of Paul's life. Gary Schram (class of 63)

Classmate - Clyde Brethour- Class of 1971, passed away December 5, 2004 at fifty years of age. A quiet, decent classmate and a good athlete. He pitched a no-hit no-run game for Brossard against the St.Lambert Mets in I believe 1967 at age 13. I remember as I struck out three times against him, and had never seen a fastball like Clyde's before. A modest guy, although he had been a classmate for years, he had never mentioned that he was a star baseball pitcher, and he was a gentleman after the game as well. My condolences to his family.
