Hampton Gray School well represented at the Official
Unveiling of the Valiants Memorial
There were eleven former Hampton Gray Memorial School
students and three
of their spouses in attendance at the Official Unveiling
of the Valiants Memorial here in Ottawa on 5 Nov, 2006.
> On completion of the unveiling ceremonies the group
spent Saturday attending the Wine Festival
in downtown Ottawa followed by a trip to the War Museum.
The group then dined at Mama Theresa's Saturday evening.
> After a final viewing of the busts unveiled earlier
in the day, the group spent their last few hours
together at D'arcy MacGee's, a favourite spot for all
visitors to Ottawa. A wonderful time was had by all and it
was certainly great to renew old friendships.
