On Friday the McMaster community will pause to remember the men of the McMaster Honour Roll. Dr. Charles Johnston '49 has spent the last few years researching the lives of the McMaster men who lost their lives during World War II. I would invite you to learn more about the project and the lives of your fellow alumni as we pause to remember on November 11.

During the last week of October, you received an email from Dr. Deane about his recent document Forward with Integrity: A Letter to the McMaster community. I would encourage each of you to take a few moments from your day to read this document and send your comments to president@mcmaster.ca.

For our alumni in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Montreal and Halifax, Dr. Deane and I will be hosting alumni events in your hometowns and I hope you will be able to join me to welcome Patrick to the McMaster family.

Karen McQuigge '90
Director, Alumni Advancement
