Here’s some of the stuff that happened here on the weekend

Some 700 freshmen (you sort out the genders) rushed Ryerson over the weekend to grab rooms in residence. Upper left is Meagan Dickey who drove here from Calgary with her mom and brother. Mrs. Dickey was asking where’s the parents’ crying room. Then there’s ace goalkeeper Katie Mowbray of the Leaside Junior Wildcats. She had her long hair cut as part of the support program that makes wigs for cancer patients. That’s the shortened version top right, long below. Thanks Katie. Below right is a special sort of birthday card received by that happy man Andy Elder surrounded by family and friends. See you at Grilltime on Laird Grill Bill. To the left, a Thunderbird of former times spotted on Roxborough St. West and no doubt seriously coveted by many. Finally, the masked (and probably caped) Soy Boy character is here to remind us that his Third Annual Soy Boy Soiree in aid of the Galactosemia Research Fund at the Hospital for Sick Children will be held at Amsterdam Brewery at 45 Esandar Dr. from 7 to 11 p.m. Friday, September 8.
