Moved from Belleville ON to Medicine Hat AB

By
We were up for a big change so my husband and I decided to move our family to Alberta. We drove out here and arrived on August 23rd. If any family is out here drop me a line. I'd love to get to know you!

Amanda, I (Colleen Vennard) Nee Barry live in Camrose, as does my brother Brian! We are about 1oo kms southeast of Edmonton. Vera Wood nee Barry lives in Edmonton. My younger sister Karen Kuster nee Barry lives in Calgary! Welcome to Alberta! Hope you enjoy it here!

Hi Colleen. I knew we had family out here. My husband and brother stayed with your wonderful sister Vera a few years back as they were looking for work in Alberta. We'll have to get together sometime! After driving across Canada, nothing seems too far! I always loved this family and wish I had a chance to get to know everyone a little more. Since grandma passed I have wanted that even more.
Thanks for the warm welcome!

A friend of mine got tired of me saying "Oh yeah I got a cousin there." He moved to Singapore and didn't tell me (he may have been trying to say something there).I was eventually able to get Dave Boschler to give him a call. We are EVERYWHERE.

Bochsler Family Update

By
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!) :( ...

Remembering Sean

By
The remaining Barrys. This picture was taken at Sean's funeral. Sean's absence is definitely felt. The last time I saw Sean, was about a year ago, the end of March '06. My husband, Brian and I showed up unannounced at his place and he graciously entertained us. If he had other plans, he never mentioned them. My brother, Brian has a pub in Camrose, AB. Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
