I retired from IBM in 1999 – worked 30 years, been retired 26! I lived on a 58-foot trawler for eight years on the West Coast and travelled lots. Now, my wife Judy and I try to live in a place, rather than travel. We recently spent three months in Italy and live on Georgian Bay in a place called Tiny.

Bob Bulloch and Jane sold their four McDonald’s a few years ago and have been travelling extensively from their repurposed boathouse on Fairy Lake in Huntsville. He once advised my wife and I to take the strawberry jam at one of his stores over the marmalade. He made 1/5^th cent more on our choice!

Ralph Thomas is in his early 90s! After Ivey, Ralph taught for 19 years. With service credits before Ivey, he was retired.

Greg Duncan, MBA ’70, has recently published a WW2 novel woven into detailed historical reality. Champagne in a Broken Teacup was inspired by the activities of his French aunt who, as an art teacher in France during WW2, was a member of the French resistance.

“In the spring of 1940, recently married Marie-Claire is blissfully pursuing her career as a freelance artist in Paris. She has no idea that in early May, Hitler's armies would invade France and rip her life apart. We follow her life as tragedies strike and she is forced to flee Paris to escape from the Gestapo. Using a false name and identity, she begins a new life in the small provincial French town of Nevers. She finds unexpected inner strength as a member of the French resistance but her previous life in Paris catches up with her.”

Charles Spina, MBA ’83, writes, “Retired since late 2022, my career encompasses a period managing Ontario’s largest independent pension and benefits consultancy, employing over 50 billable staff.

Media coverage of the LifeWorks pension report presented to the Alberta government, specifically its claim that Albertans were over contributing to the CPP and that the province was owed assets amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars, prompted me to read the 90-page report myself. My suspicions about the approach taken by LifeWorks were confirmed from that reading. I then wrote an expert critique of the report, which was widely circulated in pension circles in November 2023. Concurrently, CPP Chief Actuary Assia Billig was asked to prepare a report by then Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. The report was presented in December 2024.

Billig advocates the same estimation method that I proposed, which is the method that actuaries employ today when determining transferable assets upon a plan’s dissolution, or the withdrawal of one or more of its participants – in this case, the 13 jurisdictions that participate in the CPP.”

John Van Toch, MBA ’84, writes, “1984 was a milestone year: I earned my MBA from Ivey and welcomed our son Ian. Ian’s passion for computers led him to a degree in Biomedical Computing and an unpaid internship at the Jurisica Lab, where he discovered his calling in Cancer Informatics – just before his life was tragically cut short by heart failure at 22.

To honour his legacy, we established the Ian LVT Computational Biomedical Research Fund to support paid internships and a prestigious international student award in biomedical informatics. Since 2008, we’ve sponsored nine interns and 18 award winners, many of whom now thrive in leading research centres worldwide. Each year, the Team Ian Ride helps fund this work, raising over $500,000 to date. Learn more at https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~juris/jlab/ilvtia.html”
