Here is a recent photo of the Gibb Milko family: Bob Milko, who is a retired ecologist/environmental advisor, now an avid ski mountaineer; Haley, second year McGill student and aspiring human rights lawyer (in the meantime, avid swing dancer, skier and horsewoman) and me, Heather - researcher on international development issues/human rights; in real life a yoga student and also a rider. The photo shows us in our natural habitat - hiking somewhere in the Gatineau Park, near where we live.
Look forward to seeing everyone this summer!
Heather

I am Peter Skelton, husband of Libby Gibb, who died three years ago. We had four children: Peter G., Andrew, Janet and Ian. Peter married Carol McMullen and they have two children: Heather and Craig. Andrew Married Karen Cotton and they have two Daughters: Stephanie and Shawna. Janet lives alone in Toronto. Ian married Iara Lessa.
The attached photo ( birthday 020 ) shows the members of my family ( Heather and Craig are missung, as they were several hundred miles away when the picture was taken ). Back row: l. to r. Iara, Jan, Ian, Peter, Carol. Sitting: Libby, myself, Karen, Andrew. Kneeling: Stephanie, Shawna.

You will be hearing from the others, so I will only add that I now have a very good friend Louise Mitchell. She will be coming with me in August. A picture of us ( IMG 0605 ) is also attached. We are looking forward to seeing everyone there. We thank you for pulling this reunion together.

Fondest regards, Peter

The rates for these B&Bs are done with slight differences, but the end totals are much alike. All hosts recommend booking as soon as possible, some suggest as early as February. Mention “Gibb Reunion”. Palgrave is an equestrian centre, lots of big competitions held here. Our Reunion coincides with the biggest such meeting of the year! The postal addresses seem confusing – that is the way it is around here, and it works! If you have any difficulty, let us know. Nobody should decide against attending for lack of a place to sleep.
You may have some luck by typing in “www.habbo-headwaters.com” on your computer – these B&Bs all are supposed to be listed there.

The camping area, like everything else hereabouts, is white with snow. Think warm sun, green grass, good times – this coming August!

Neumann Family

We are the Neumann's











I am the one in the centre, Ruth Wheelwright, daughter of John and Isabel (Gibb)Wheelwright.

I am the one sending out all the info on this fab funfest next summer.

The people in the photo are (left to right):

Peter Neumann 47, my handsome husband. Peter works with me in our construction company, Wheelwright Group. When Peter is not working he is skiing. He is a very successful downhill Masters ski racer (he would never write this but it happens to be true).

Beside Peter is Cosi. Cosi is 19 and is in her second year of study at York University in Toronto. She is studying communications. Cosi as well is a downhill ski racer and works part time for Paramount Productions in their promotions department.

Yes, that's me in the centre. I'm 47, I am by far the youngest child of John and Isabel (the Gibb connection) Wheelwright. My brother and sisters are John (54), Martha (51) and Mary (50). I work full time in our construction company Wheelwright Group. I too am a skier, love to hold parties and, oh yes, I would suggest the movie Gost Town for anyone looking for a good rental.

Beside me is Pate. He is 21 and is a full time athelete. Pate is on the National Development Team for Nordic skiing. He lives in Whistler and studies at the University of Athabaska part time. Pate spends his time training, eating and sleeping. Pate also has his own blog pateneumann.blogspot.com.

Last but not least is our youngest son Sam. He is 13, and is in Grade 8. Sam is also a downhill racer and an aspiring drummer.
