Julie Payette returns to Massey here are many memorable

Photography by Anna Luengo evenings at Massey College, but few more memorableT than the one on November 5, 2009, when astronaut Julie Payette, distinguished and loyal Alumna (’88), visited with four of her co-pilots from Space Shuttle Endeavour, whom she introduced to the College community. The eagerly anticipated evening was described by Master John Fraser in his pre-event notice as a “complicated” one (see page 36), and it included pre-dinner drinks and a film in the Common Room narrated live by the astronauts, as well as dinner in Ondaatje Hall. Also that evening, the College’s silver teaspoon – which, as we had reported in our last issue, had travelled with Ms. Payette into outer space in the summer of 2008 – was formally returned to us. Fittingly, kitchen staff member David Landaverde accepted the spoon back on behalf of the College.

Julie Payette returns to Massey here are many memorable

Photography by Anna Luengo evenings at Massey College, but few more memorableT than the one on November 5, 2009, when astronaut Julie Payette, distinguished and loyal Alumna (’88), visited with four of her co-pilots from Space Shuttle Endeavour, whom she introduced to the College community. The eagerly anticipated evening was described by Master John Fraser in his pre-event notice as a “complicated” one (see page 36), and it included pre-dinner drinks and a film in the Common Room narrated live by the astronauts, as well as dinner in Ondaatje Hall. Also that evening, the College’s silver teaspoon – which, as we had reported in our last issue, had travelled with Ms. Payette into outer space in the summer of 2008 – was formally returned to us. Fittingly, kitchen staff member David Landaverde accepted the spoon back on behalf of the College. He had Julie Payette and Master John Fraser originally proposed the spoon as a suitable in the Common Room companion for the Endeavour trip and had gone, This huge crane appeared beside – sometimes along with then retiring Pat Kennedy, to Cape College?

Fiftieth anniversary of first round of submissions of architectural plans for College This building should be capable of being seen in many ways, and of unfolding itself by degrees – probably never completely. It represents to the student within a condensed piece of the world that must accommodate all his changing moods and attitudes. It should be as many things as possible to as many people as possible.
