Grad Profile: WADE DOMRIES

Constant companion: my wife Connie, and our daughters.

Where do you live now: West Vancouver

Occupation: VP, TELUS Consumer Solutions

Children: Our oldest Julia is 3 years old, and Claire is 6 months.

Favorite Music: Wide range of music both past and present. Currently trying to stop repeating children’s jingles!

Where & when happiest: Unstructured time with my family, whether it is over a day or on vacation.

Favorite Journey: Honeymoon in Italy was fantastic, as we focused our time in just a couple regions. Second choice would be traveling through Turkey.

Interests: Spending time with our family. I am still an avid skier and am looking forward to initiating our oldest this winter.

Fondest memories of Hillside: No one particular memory, thoroughly enjoyed grade twelve with friends.

Greatest achievements: After completing a business degree, I went through a series of personal achievements…completing a marathon, competing in triathlons and the Chekamous Challenge. Meeting my wife, having a family and supporting our interests through an interesting career are the greatest achievements.

20 years in 20 words or less: UVIC, UBC, TELUS, Europe, triathlons, marriage, Italy, children. The time flew by!

1987 Yearbook Quote: Wade will be remembered for his involvement in many school activities. Wade's favourite saying is "Yes Ernie you can borrow my homework". P.P.'s: parking his car at wile parties and working at Sewell's on Saturday mornings after a late night. In the future, Wade plans to take commerce at UBC and then go on to manage his own company.

Grad Profile: BRIAN McCONVILLE

Constant Companion? My wife Allison and son Charlie

Occupation? Senior Art Director, IBM

Where do you live now? Vancouver, BC

Children? One son: Charlie. Born March 22, 2006, so it’s all still new and lots of fun.

When and where are you the happiest? A lazy day without interruption, deadlines, phone calls, chores, or errands where I can just hang out with the family and be silly.

What was your favorite journey? Honeymooning on Anguilla was pretty amazing and briefly living and working in New York in the mid-90’s was a pretty special time.

What are your interests? Still love playing and listening to music, turning our old tear-down in Dunbar into a home, hanging out with family and friends, travel, a good meal out, and running to burn off that good meal.

What is your fondest memory of Hillside? Never getting beaten up or stuffed in a locker, despite what my grade 7 teacher practically "guaranteed". Grades 11 & 12 were pretty fun, trying to find the parties on a Saturday day night before there were cell phones, playing the first Hillstock with Sleepy Boy Floyd, and of course, all of the different characters I got to meet in 5 years there.

What is your favorite music, past/present? In high school I seemed to be into anything British: The Who, The Police, The English Beat & The Smiths. Nowadays I’m listening to all kinds of things, but get excited about finding lesser-known new music. The Internet's been amazing for this.

What do you consider your greatest achievement(s)? Acknowledging quickly after Hillside that I wasn’t going to be a rock star and getting a university degree. Surviving an intense year at the Vancouver Film School and turning it into a career that still lets me be creative. Still being able to be a pretend "rock star" (Achin’ Blues Balls Band, Gavin Froome) despite being married and having children. And of course, getting married and having children.

Your last 20 years in 20 words or less: Year off, UVic, house painter, Vancouver Film School, New York, dot-com/ dot-bomb, IBM, marriage, house, baby. Gosh.

1987 Yearbook Quote: "Bri" will be remembered for his incredible talent as the keyboard player for Sleepy Boy Floyd. His most embarrassing moment was finding out he had a fan club in Sechelt. His best memories were on a certain basketball trip to Penticton. Brian's pet peeves are dogs without a leash and cordless razors. His future plans are to take a year off and then attend UBC.

Grad Profile: CATHERINE STAVELEY (nee Fronczek)

Constant companion? My husband and sole mate - Kevin

Occupation? Co-owner of Frocks Modern Bridesmaids... http://www.frocks.ca/

Children? Not yet, but hopefully one day...

From reunion photos

When and where are you the happiest? I'm happiest hanging out with Kevin either on the golf course or traveling the world or just lying on abeach in the Mayan Riviera!

What was your favourite journey? Hmmm... that's a tough one. Bali,Thailand, France, and Italy were all great, but I guess it would have to be South Africa because I was there with Kevin and it was mylast big trip - so the most memorable!

What are your interests? Still love playing sports like tennis, golf and snowboarding, I even took up field hockey again just four years ago with Lisa Read! I don't have a lot of time to cook, but I would love to spend more time in the kitchen.

What is your fondest memory of Hillside? Definitely hanging in the hallways eating lunch with my friends, going on tours thru Ambleside in our VW bugs, and who can forget our walkout that landed us up Cypress Mountaintubing!

What is your favourite music, past/present? In the past I loved older music like The Doors and now it's a wide range from hip-hop songs like "golddigger" to more mellow songs like Daniel Powter's "You Had a Bad Day" - I think I love all music (exept for crap like Britney Spears).

What do you consider your greatest achievement? I would have to say starting my own business. I've wanted to do it ever since I graduated with my Commerce degree from UBC, and now 12 years later I finally did it! The store has only been open for one year, but we've exceeded our expectations - so definietely my greatest achievement (to date!)

What is your greatest regret? I would have to say not pursuing my dream of becoming a professional tennis player. I think I could have been a contender... of course now it's hard to keep my serve in!

What are you waiting to do? Start a family. We are just waiting for the timing to be right with the business! I would also still like to do more traveling with Kevin.

Your last 20 years in 20 words or less: UBC Commerce degree, 3 years in Yacht Sales, 7 years in Commercial Real Estate, 1 year finding myself, 2 years as an Account Supervisor at Cossette Communications (advertising firm), and then finally Frocks was born. I've been living on the west side of Vancouver (near 11th & Granville) for the past 8 years!

1987 Yearbook Quote: "Cat" was often found driving with SM or doing "the swim". She is well known for her competitiveness in tennis and for her bug screams. "Fozzie" was very involved in Homecoming, grasshockey and looking for rides home. She was most famous for her Pee Wee Herman impersonations and her lopsided crisis mug, and saying "What colour's that bug?". Her message to undergrads is "you can leave your hat on".
