Their eldest son, Frank, graduated from University in Houston, Texas. He was telling me that due to the international oil slump, Houston is almost a ghost town in comparison to the boom times. Frank says the sister city of Dallas is feeling the effects also even though that Texa: town specializes in more high tech com- panies. _ A - The sons of some successful men in Waterloo are following in their fathers' footsteps. Bay Dollo- has his son, Mike, helping him in his men's wear store in Westmount Place. If you phone Joh- Do-ovu on Bridgeport Rd. for some insurance advice. Kevl- more than likely will answer your questions as he is now co-owner. With the Bingemal food services expanding and the Waterloo Inn adding rooms, Lawrence has sent his son, Mark, to the University of Michigan to take the four year Hotel Management While the holidays are still here, take your family to see the “Festival of Lights" in the town of Simcoe. We saw hundreds walking around and looking at the animated Christmas scenes all illuminated in the city park. In the background, you could hear the carols being played in the Carillon Tower. You can drive there in an hour and a half via Preston, Galt, Brantford. and then Simcoe. It's dark there by 4:30 p.m. See the show, catch a light supper at the Burger King, and you can have the family home by 8 pm. A couple of months ago we went to Video Works on Lodge St. and had them transfer our family 8 mm movies onto tape. We then ran the two hour cassette on our home VCR and did voice-over comments with a hand microphone and music playing in the background. We dubbed three copies with a second VCR and connecting cables and gave them to our children as a Christmas gift. The kids were tickled. Ian Forbes of Video Works tells me that they can do the same with your home slides using a five second spacer. It's a great momento for your family. One of the newest pizza franchises to open in Waterloo is Domino‘s in Westmount Place and King St. N. It all started years ago when a little boy in a Detroit orphanage was encouraged by a nun to believe in himself. Young Thomas tried desperately to become a baseball star but finally realized he didn't have the skills. So he opened a Pizza take-out place with innovative methods that soon caught the public's fancy. Thomas Monaghan quickly became a millionaire and then bought the Detroit Tigers baseball team. He attributes Domino's success to Sister Berarda and every year Thomas brings the whole orphanage to see his beloved Tigers play. - - - Roundup . . . . . .

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER at, 1988 -VPAGE IS The Gallery of the University of Waterloo will present an exhibition of black and white photography entitled, TRIPLE EXPOSURE. This show will open Thurs., Jan. 8, 1987, and run until Sun., Feb. 15, featuring works by three area photographers representing three separate styles and points of view. Adrian Bondy, of the University of Waterloo Mathematics Faculty, presents photographs which _ . .focus on the unconscious interaction between people and their environ- ment, on how each defines and redefines the other." David Leaner, a family physician from Stratford, looks at the work as "a way of producing a different vision of objects photographed." By his use of infra-red techniques, very low contrast and "high key" developing, he reduces visual information allowing concentration on the forms. Roger Young, a commercial photographer from Cam- bridge, submits photographs taken from a series entitled “Derelict Series." The subject matter is primarily abandoned farm homes, which, "are not ruins in the traditional sense, but exist in the present, while still representing the past." There will be an informal opening reception on Thurs.. Jan. 8, at 5 p.m. in the Gallery. The Gallery at the University of Waterloo is located in the Modern Languages Building and is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m. 161v Arts _ctg1ttte, TRIPLE EXPOSURE An (Minnow of Mad and wink photography by Admin Bondy, Band Lmey and Roger Young.

Listening to the children's 'oohs' and 'aahs' as Steven races to the finish with the orchestra, there was no doubt that the audience thought so too," said the Hamilton Spectator. 730m in Hamilton, Toth is a self-taught artist who works in pen and ink and watercolor.
