Rain...Singing in the Rain...Rainy Day
Woman...Rain Drops Keep Falling on my
Head...Fool in the Rain (notice a trend
here?)... Walking in the Rain... The Rain-
maker...Kentucky Rain...Rain, rain go
away, come back some other day. Since
the "Wet Coast" has done little to earn its
nickname this summer, we'd like to offer
some old tunes you may hum while bask-
ing in the UV rays. But don’t worry, those
drops will be back soon. Until then here
are some shady items...

We scooped them...

Regular readers of the "Zone" might re-
member back in June when we first told
you about Alumni Development Officer
Alana Frymire’s husband Bill winning
an international graphic arts award. It
seems our competitors (Maclean’s maga-
zine) have finally caught up with that
story in their July 20 edition. Remember,
you read it here first!

 

 

 

 

 

Sociology Instructor Alda
Meshaka-Azab, who retires
this month, plans to complete
a book on The Green Revolu-
tion and travel. "I would like to
go a place where the weather
Is warm," she sald, "and a
place where they are not
shooting each other."

Silver Celebration...

Congratulations to Rosemary Popowitz
of IMS, who braved barbs and balloons to
celebrate her 25th wedding anniversary
on July 22. Rosemary and husband Bill
plan to mark the event later with a tour
of Ireland and Italy.

Boldly going where no College
employee has gone before...

Think of them as pioneers...voyageurs.
Phyllis Mitchell and Janet Knowles of
Community Programs and Services will
be blazing a new trail this fall when they
shift their offices to the temporary
Douglas College site at the Lincoln Centre
in Coquitlam.

The once and future scholar....
Computer Information Systems instructor
John Blackwell has done it again. For
the fourth year in a row, John has been
named an IBM Consulting Scholar - one of
only 20 in North America.
Congratulations!

Take a bow...

Congrats to three DC graduates who per-
formed principal roles during the recent
Theatre Under the Stars production of
The Boyfriend. Classic Music grad Dana
Cole played the role of Maisie while
Kristina Baron Firmston was Polly

Browne and Kim Gauthier played Dulcie.

Cashing out...

Anne MacLean has resigned from her
position as Assistant Comptroller to move
on to new challenges. Best wishes.

It’s a small world after all...

They say that if you sit long enough on
Paris’ Left Bank, you’ll meet everyone you
ever knew. Well, according to Graphic De-
signer Marilyn Attwood, if you hang out
at Disneyland long enough you'll run into
on-leave Public Information Officer Bill
Bell and family. Marilyn just did.
