*Page'8, News, Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1992 THANK YOU Regarding the death of my beloved wife Yvette Miller: Allow me to thank each and every one that showed such love: the doctors and nurses and all staff of McCausland Hospital and the Cancer Clinic in Thunder Bay. Dr. Rohani, Dr. Vergedis and all the friends, neighbors and relatives who sent cards and donations to the Cancer Clinic and McCausland Hospital. The Chimo Club, to my immediate neighbors at Jackfish Lake who baked for me and in general looked after me. To my beloved niece Elaine Nancekivel without whose help I would not have made it. To Father Campbell and the pall bearers, to so many more that my mind cannot recall, my sincere and grateful thanks. It would have been impossible for me to have sent each of you a thank you note for I have not been up to such a task alone. When Yvette went away, she took half of me with her. We were together for half a century. My love to each and everyone of you. Once again thank you.

"T've been on the Dean's wl Peovanicads } List every quarter since I've been at St. Scholastica," says St. Denis, who just completed the third year of his five year double major. He eamed his first degree in Biology, graduating in 1983 from St. John's University in Collegeville, Minn., where he also made the Dean's List every year. His first choice after that was medical school, but he couldn't get in. "And then I tried to get into physio. therapy, but I couldn't get into that either," he says. "They say that right now in the US and Canada, there's more competition to get into physio therapy than there is to get into med school." He spent a few years between schooling working at Kimberly Clark, before resum- -ing his studies at St. Scholasti- ca. 5 Although he was born in Terrace Bay, the 31-year-old student spent his secondary school years in Illinois on a Moose Lodge sponsorship. "When I was four my moth- er was killed in a car accident," he says. "And my dad (Ed Sr.) is a member of the local Moose Lodge. So my sister and I went to school in the States, at Moosehart, Illinois." After he graduates from St. Scholastica, he says there's a number of options he could pursue. "T'll probably go into psy- chiatric nursing, but I'm also looking at trauma nursing or physical medicine," he says. But for now, St. Denis faces the question every university student faces as graduation draws nearer: where to work. "It depends on where the offers come from more than anything else," he says. "But I would like to work in Canada, since I was born here and would like to give something back to the community."
