July 28 After reading Bob Pelley’s contribution on Foss Avenue and the bio on G/C Roy Foss at In On The Gander, it was felt that a formal request be made to the Town of Gander to have one of the newer streets again bear the name Foss Avenue. This request has been submitted on behalf of this website. The response we have received was not very encouraging other than the typical bureaucratic “your request has been filed for future review and don’t call us, we will call you but thank you for your interest in the Town of Gander”. To ensure this request for renaming not to become ignored , other avenues should be explored. Your interest and support in this endeavor is requested.
July 22 Corrections to the entire website has been made in regard to the missing link "buttons". All webpages and their links had to be reviewed for errors which was a bit of a challenge. As in most cases some errors will have slipped through the cracks. Please make a note and pass them along for correction.

June 24 If you have noticed, we are experiencing a major problem with missing 'Buttons' that link us to the various pages. The internet server as been advised and we are awaiting a response from them as to the reason why this has occurred. In the meantime it has been decided to go ahead and do a manual correction at the source. Not being one that thinks this will be corrected with a single keystroke command, this manual correction is a major task. Please bear with us as we continue to fix the problem.

2009 in review We are about to enter our 5th year here at www.gaflight.org and our numbers are still rising. That in itself is encouraging. A big Thank You goes out to Audrey, Carol, Faye, Bob and all the others that have contributed with their words and pictures. Don't get too complacent, we are still looking for more pictures and information about our past. There is no such thing as "too much". As for the financial well being of our site, things couldn't be better. We are all paid up for the year 2010. We were sadly informed of the passing of two of our friends and classmates ,Winston Stanley and Jeanette (Knee) Singleton and our principal, Roland ‘Pop’ Clarke. Information on the particulars are to be found on In Memoriam page. All preparations are under way for another reunion to be held in Gander in August. This event will include all students who attended St. Joseph’s , HMA, and Gander Academy and are 60 years of age and older. A web page has been set up with information relating to this event. webster
