                                   Latchman ’91 made a decision that changed the

                 job, disposed of most of her belongings, and moved to Belize,
                 Central America to do missionary work. In her words, “I wanted
                 more out of my life. I had heard about this mission and I decided
                 to take a big risk. I have never looked back.” She found herself
                 working with 25 other international volunteer first-year teachers at a
                 small missionary school, and recalls, “It was a real eye-opening
                 experience. Those who worked at the school were so dedicated. I
                 was in awe of them and also of the students, many of whom had
                 to walk miles to get to school. Even though there were little or no
                 employment prospects for them and no university to go to, they
                 were just very happy to go to school and learn.”

Leadership Seriously

Michael’s takes seriously its contribution to the for-

have for many years personified the success of the
undergraduate education which they received while
enrolled in degree programs. More recently, our
alumni circle has grown to include graduates of

Leading cultural figures from Cape Breton gave “demonstra-
tion” talks, in which they presented their own work, and
located it within a broader historical and social context.

In the morning session, prominent folklorist Seamus Watson
told several Cape Breton folk tales, discussed the different
genres of storytelling, and commented on the connection
between language and folk culture. Lorrie MacKinnon, a
Gaelic enthusiast living in Toronto, followed with a fascinat-
ing talk on the poetry, themes, and melodic origins of the
Gaelic songs she had discovered in the Mabou Ridge region.
Lorrie sang excerpts from several of those songs.

After lunch, David Greenberg, the well-known Cape Breton-
classical cross-over musician, spoke on the
history of Cape Breton fiddle music. As an unexpected
bonus, he brought along Donald MacClelland, a legendary fig-
ure in Cape Breton’s fiddle tradition. Together they played
some wonderful strathspeys, jigs and reels. Since Donald is
in his eighties, and rarely plays in public these days, it was a
truly memorable moment.

  • 8. Alumni Profile Alumni Profile Bonita Latchman ‘91 In 1994,ofBonitalife. She quit her profitable yet unfulfilling corporate course her Latchman ’91 made a decision that changed the job, disposed of most of her belongings, and moved to Belize, Central America to do missionary work. In her words, “I wanted more out of my life. I had heard about this mission and I decided to take a big risk. I have never looked back.” She found herself working with 25 other international volunteer first-year teachers at a small missionary school, and recalls, “It was a real eye-opening experience. Those who worked at the school were so dedicated. I was in awe of them and also of the students, many of whom had to walk miles to get to school. Even though there were little or no employment prospects for them and no university to go to, they were just very happy to go to school and learn.” The living arrangements in Belize were basic: no hot water nor St. Mary’s orphanage in Malawi, Africa.

Continuing Education / The Newman Centre Continuing Education at St. Mikes — Taking Leadership Seriously As a leader in Catholic Education for 150 years, St. Michael’s takes seriously its contribution to the for- mation of the leaders of tomorrow. College alumni have for many years personified the success of the undergraduate education which they received while enrolled in degree programs.

In the morning session, prominent folklorist Seamus Watson told several Cape Breton folk tales, discussed the different genres of storytelling, and commented on the connection between language and folk culture. Lorrie MacKinnon, a Gaelic enthusiast living in Toronto, followed with a fascinat- ing talk on the poetry, themes, and melodic origins of the Gaelic songs she had discovered in the Mabou Ridge region. Lorrie sang excerpts from several of those songs. After lunch, David Greenberg, the well-known Cape Breton- classical cross-over musician, spoke on the history of Cape Breton fiddle music. As an unexpected bonus, he brought along Donald MacClelland, a legendary fig- ure in Cape Breton’s fiddle tradition. Together they played some wonderful strathspeys, jigs and reels.
