PHOTO - HENRY BURY Ron Stewart < Ready for the reunion STORY BY HENRY BUKY, THE INTELLIGENCER Apiece of Ron Stewart will be goinghome with several hundred alumniand former staff attendingBelleville Collegiate Institute's 75th reunion next month. That is because a limited edition pen and ink sketch of BCI done in 1992 by the retired educator will be presented to everyone attend- ing the June 6-8 event. "It's a real honour to have something that you created appreciated and shared with so many people," said the 62-year-old Joyce Cres- cent resident who taught at BCI in its last two years of its existence. "BCI renewed my enthusiasm in the latter part of my career in education and to give something back to the school is nice." Stewart's sketch of BCI is already in the hands of hundreds of people. The BCI stu- dent council gave each student and staff mem- ber Stewart's sketch as a farewell present when the high school closed its doors in June of 1992. The same has been used by the directors of the Quinte Cultural Centre for publicity pur- poses. a_y /O, <»2o
