The Mathews Family Update


Jackie and Bernie celebrated 51 years of marriage in September so it looks like they're going to make a go of it. They are both in fairly good health and keeping active.

Bernie is working for the City of Hamilton in the Public Works Department. He is still as witty as ever and is the very lovable "Uncle Boon".


Brian and Louise were married on October 14, 2006. (Brian's wife Susan passed away suddenly in August 2004.) Brian works for Canada Post and Louise is employed with the Hamilton Public Library. They live on Hamilton mountain. They are enjoying their grandson. Jason (Susan's son) and his wife Amanda have one son, Xander,1.



Tim and Cindy welcomed their fifth daughter, Shantel in February 2006. Tim's daughter Krystal is now 13. Cindy has three daughters Crystal, 19, Lacey, 18 and Yvonne, 10. Tim has been working at Stelco close to 30 years. Cindy is currently on maternity leave. They, too, live on Hamilton mountain.


At least a couple of Sundays a month we can all be found around the dining room table at 122 Fernwood. It keeps us close (literally!). My mom can still feed a dozen or so people with little sweat and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, as its always been. We're very blessed.

Bochsler Family Update

Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

Some of Paul Bochsler's pictures

I took a million silly pictures, thank goodness some of y'all were taking the same shot and are better photographers, but here are a few from my camera's perspective. Gosh, I'm trying to upload a zillion of them and it only takes four at a time. Bear with me. Note the 'two Jacks', 'Peter, Paul & Mary', and the oldest and youngest of the cousins. Paul

Happy New Year from Singapore!

Hello Everyone, It's been a while since I've posted but I have enjoyed all of the updates that are coming through from all of you. It makes me feel not so far away. This is David, Aunt Maureen's son. We have a new baby, Liam, who was born July 25th (the same birthday as my siblings Kathleen and Kevin). Noah is 5 1/2 and Ella just turned 4. We had a great time this holiday season with my brother Mark and his wife Sandra who came to visit us. We also had Peter Beninger and his family over. These photos are courtesy of my bro Mark, who has a gift for picture taking. Carol's (my wife) parents are here visiting now so it's been a great family month. Enjoy the pictures!
