McGill milestones
The James McGill Society celebrated an anniversary this week, reaching the milestone of its 100th meeting. On any historical occasion, of course, the man to call is Stanley Frost. Frost, as co-founder and honorary president of the society, was the evening's guest speaker and happened to have reached a milestone of his own -- his 85th birthday. Society members surprised him with a cake celebrating both occasions. Frost (centre), is shown with son David and daughter-in-law Pauline. PHOTO: OWEN EGAN |  |
