The post below is just for posterity:

Hi Folks,

It’s been three years and time to renew the hosting for the Wayne Alumni website, now in its 25th year. This website includes the main alumni website, Wayne Central Soccer HIstory, and Wayne Central Basketball History websites. It is $9.99 / month for 36 months, for which I am billed $359.64 and paid upfront (to get the discount). I’m looking to offset some of the cost.

Yes, it can be had cheaper initially, which we did the first three years, but it would require moving the website, which is a huge amount of effort.

I also cover the cost of the domain name separately.

Much work has been done in the last year to restore past content and add new. The Wayne Basketball History site was completely reworked and redesigned.

So I am looking to raise $250 from alumni to help support the website. Smaller donations are preferred.

Thanks to all who have supported this site for the last six years. They are named on the About page on the website.

Sad Ontario History

This is not directly Wayne Central Alumni related. I recently came across this news from 1949. Though I have essentially lived in Ontario all of my life, I had never heard about this before. This happened in 1949, about a week after my brother Tom was born, and 7 years before I was born.

Another part of this sad story is that I knew Bernard and Louise Murphy quite well as they were friends of my parents. It must have been a difficult memory for them as well.

This isn’t the type of history we want to hear about. Fortunately, homicides are rare in Ontario. But next time I visit my parents graves in Calvary Cemetery, I will find Anna’s grave and leave a flower.

It’s been many years and no one knows exactly what transpired, and never will. Seems like today with improved trauma care she may have survived. Sad all the way around.
