James Fowler Grad of 81 here.

does anybody remember when the Calgary Tower was called the Husky Tower?

I worked at Woolco for 6 years Part time. The shoe department was owned by Kinney Shoes. I then went into Woolco's management program and was in all 5 stores in Calgary during a 2.5 year time span.

I remember partying downtown in a place called Ahhs. It was the place to go and had 3 floors of dancing. 2 of which were see through floors with lights.

I hung out at the Pied Pickle in the NE and my main stay was Glenns Memories Bar on Memorial Drive and 36 Street.

I remember the Calgary Kickers soccer club where a few of my dad's friends were "semi-pro" players,....ya right, dad!

is the dry cleaners on 16th avenue still there and about 4street NW. cory hart shot one of his videos there.

Bryan Adams played one of his very first gigs at our high school. My friends band opened for him.

Trudeau came to visit our high school because our social studies teacher was a big supporter of the Liberal party. She made it happen!
