Dear Fellow Base Brats;
I would love to hear from those
of you who attended the Vicount Alexander School during the period
1956-62 . I am especially looking for old childhood friends who lived
on Altair Avenue. Also others who may have been profoundly influenced
through out the years by their base brat experiences.

I am Ron Mitchell. Attended Viscount
Alexander between 1953 and 1957. When I first started there, if I recall correctly,it wasWoodfalle School. Not sure when it was renamed to Viscount Alexander. Went to Rideau High School in 1957. Lived in Ottawa subsequently between 1979 and 1995. Base Rockcliffe PMQ's were still there then, and I was able to return to 21 Via Vega in Area 5 where we used to live. Was like walking into a bit of a time warp. Only thing different was the size of the trees.

At anyrate. teachers when I was there: Lucille Wheeler, Veronica Ryan, Miss
Sharkee, Mr Smith. Mr. Carlson.

Dad got transferred to 1 Fighter Wing Marville France in August 1958.Wzx there until 1961.

Was at Rockcliffe and went to Viscount Alexander (both the old annexes and
the new school) but later than you're asking about (66-73, by far the
longest we ever stayed in one place).

Did you know a Ken Sweeney? He graduated from Rockcliffe in 1967. I'm trying to locate him. Thanks,

Carey, we were in area 3 on Mynarski from 1956 until 1962. For me those were the grades ending with fourth in '61-'62. Coinciding with your years/grades yet I never left the Annexes. My sisters were in seventh and eight at Viscount in 1962. We are the Bambrick's who lived at the bottom of the Arcturus hill at 49 Mynarski, the second to last house in the dead end, one of only eight single family two story four bedroom houses built. ...wally bambrick

Hi Craig -
Been a while but my sister a I attended Woodfall School which later became Viscount Alexander. We lived in Area 7, on Mars Street in the very first PMQs constructed at the base. My favorite memory is seeing all the Airforce Day flying practices prior to the actual event., which was the 2nd weekend every June. I'm Randy, and my sister is Sharron - last name Hunter. My dad was a career airman (CEPE), and served two terms of office as the Mayor of Rockcliffe. My best friend was Jimmy Lavigne, and his dad was 408 Sqdn.
That was many moons ago - and it's all gone now, except for the memories !

HI, Rockcliffites! Gary Gayda, retired in Belleville, ON.
Didn't go to Viscount Alexander School, but I did attend Rideau High School from 1961-1965. My girlfriend, Bonnie Riseley - now wife - went to Lisgar Collegiate Institute. We lived at 56 and 58 McLeod Crescent (same duplex).
Sad to see the Base and PMQ's levelled.
Anyone there at that time remember us?

Was that the elementary school on Rockliffe base? Sounds familiar.
If yes, I didn't go there but my two older brothers did from '56-58. I was
sent to the local french school in Vanier (anyone remember what Vanier was
called before it was changed to that name?) I don't remember the name of
the street we lived on in Rockliffe, but I remember it was near the woods,
and my older brothers would always threaten me tales of strange men
lurking in those woods, waiting to "get me".
Seems to me the bases were divided up by ranks; I think the living
quarters were segragated according to whether your father was an officer
or not. Dad was an airframe technician and we always had comfortable
housing on the bases we lived, but I vaguely remember officers children
having a little bit better/bigger bedrooms. Or am I totally delusional
here? Anyone else remember this being the way of life on base?
Lise-Anne

Vanier was Eastview, and before that was Clarkstown.

Hi Craig. I lived at 25 Mynarski Cres from 1958 (when I was born) to 1968 when my dad retired. I went to The Annex on the base and also VA. It was an amazing time then...some great memories still!!! I live in Zimbabwe now.
