P.E.I. CLASS REUNION: a great time was had by all on P.E.I. this past July. Twenty
“girls” from the UNB BN Class of ’85 gathered for their 37th reunion. We are a group
that has stayed connected! Our 10-year reunion was in 1995, our 25th in 2010 and
five more get togethers since then!

We enjoyed a lot of fun activities, Anne the musical, lobster supper, beach time, group BBQ at our cottage’s campground, visiting Dalvay By the Sea, the Dunes Art gallery and anywhere the roads would take us. One thing that never changes is talking nonstop, playing “our” music, dancing and lots of laughs. We had three girls who we had not seen in 37 years and we all picked up as if it were yesterday. As our Facebook group is called, UNB Nursing Grads & Still Rocking
