Cherished memories forever: Remembering Concordia University


It may have been so many years ago but memories of Concordia University shall always be with me!

This is where I obtained my Bachelor of Commerce degree.  It is the university that gave me my break in life to go out there and discover the world and it is the university where I met so many wonderful kids and professors.

I still remember graduation day when Donna Patton walked with me onto the stage to receive my diploma.  Boy, was I nervous but when Donna told me that all of my classmates stood as I walked across the stage, I had to do everything in my control not to start crying.

So many people from the MAB came to watch me get my diploma.  From Mr. Williams and Mr. Evans to Dorothy, Marion, Char and Heather, Virginia and Leo and many more!  Mom and Dad came, too, having traveled so far to watch me take my bow! Jeff and his friends also came and Dave took photos of me!

I shall always remember those security guards who used to escort me across campus as I went from class to class!  I think that they wanted to make sure that I did not fall into those tall snowbanks.  Angie, Leo Carroll, and those whose names I am trying so hard to remember.

Then there were those wonderful professors: Bernice Wright, Frank Hayes, Andrew O’Connor, Brian Barbierrie, John Motter, Jim Wyatt, George Koory, Henry Greenspan, and my other accounting professors, Jay Flynn, Russ Mcqewin, Brian Smith, Jack Democco, and so many more!  They went out of their way to make sure that I could follow their lectures!

I thank the accounting, marketing, math, stats, economics, commerce, and English departments for having given me so much support and assistance.  I could not have done it without them! To the late Bernice Wright who remained my friend and mentor until her passing in 2012.  To each and every one who helped me along the way and to all of those young student volunteers !  I could never repay each and every one of you for all that you did for me!

I shall always remember those classrooms, lockers, book stores, security desks, hallways and stairs, and so much more! May God bless Concordia forever!
