  • Patrick and Jan (Riley) Neville, Class Notes

    1970s

    Patrick Neville and Jan (Riley) Neville 

    – Artsci’75, Ed’75 and Artsci‘76

    In mid-May, Jan and Pat made a trip back to Kingston with two close friends of theirs, Beth (Randle) Taylor (Artsci‘74, Ed'75) and Don Taylor (Sc'75). Both couples had met a little over a year after graduating from Queen’s. In Kingston, the two couples were celebrating 50 happy years of marriage. 

    A picture was taken of Jan and Pat in the chapel at Theological Hall, almost exactly 50 years after they were married there by the legendary Padre Laverty. Wonderful memories indeed!
