On 16 November 2001, Bishop’s held a Gala Concert to celebrate the inauguration of its new Hamburg Steinway grand piano, a gift from Mona Blair Bandeen. Steinway pianos are considered the best in the world, and those crafted in Hamburg are even more special, in terms of tone-colour range, than their New York cousins. The concert featured world-renowned soloist Richard Raymond performing music by Beethoven and Chopin — classic repertoire for a classic instrument.

ildred Young, mother of the late Jean Young ’60, recently donated a magnificent antique grandfather Mclock to Bishop’s University. Mildred Young received the clock as a gift from an American woman who was a neighbour and long-time friend of her parents. At the outbreak of World War II, the neighbour decided to return to the United States. She couldn’t take all of her possessions, so she gave the clock to Mildred. Mildred and her family were in Montreal when it arrived at their apartment in December 1939. Jean was only a few months old. As the clock was being put into working order, Mildred’s husband said, “This will be Jean’s clock.” When the family moved west in 1977 — Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria — Jean’s clock travelled with them. On September 11, 2001 Mrs. Young donated the clock to Bishop’s in memory of her daughter, Jean. Jean’s clock stands in the lobby outside the Principal’s Office. It chimes on the quarter, half and hour. The face marks the cycle of the moon and displays pictures of the moon, an English cottage (shown right) and a sailboat Bishop’s is grateful to Mrs. Young for her thoughtful gift.

The Arcadian Court in downtown Toronto on November 17 was the venue for the second Toronto Alumni Ball. The evening began with 100 alumni and guests enjoying cocktails and hor's d'oeuvres on the Art Gallery Level which overlooked the specular Arcadian Court. That was just the beginning! Dinner was delicious, and the entertainment which followed had the young and the old dancing. "The Fab Four." a Beatles impersonation group and the entertainers for the evening, lived up to their reputation — their appearance and vocals definitely replicated the "real" Beatles. The evening did not end there. Following the live band, a DJ finished the night off by playing those favorite old pub songs. Special thanks to Michelle Planche ’98, Toronto Alumni Branch President, for all her hard work in organizing this event.

The day began with a dozen alumni teeing-off at the Valley Ridge Golf Course North West of Calgary.

Following the round of golf, John Messenger graciously hosted a BBQ at his home on Valley Creek Bay.
