Keri Kettle, departing Panet House for greener pastures . . .
Keri Kettle has been with the RMC Club for the best part of a year. He is in the process of cleaning out his desk and moving on to new professional career challenges. In the short time, that he has been with us - he has made quite a mark at the college; within the Club; and around hockey circles. Many of you will recognize his name as the driving force behind e-VERITAS which now has a circulation of over 5,000. He has also been instrumental in negotiating a number of successful business partnerships for the Club. He has shown a real passion in attracting hockey players for RMC. The current edition of the varsity team is loaded with Keri Kettle "nuggets". Much of the team's success this season can be attributed to him and the players he has attracted to the team. Keri is a highly professional, goal oriented individual who also embraces warm, sensitive, interpersonal skills. He is not afraid of work, and has the knack to determine whether or not the particular individual or business deal will be a good fit for RMC or the Club. He can tactfully get to know the strengths and weaknesses of a potential recruit and a business opportunity in a hurry. From the rest of the "gang" at Panet House - we all wish Keri every success in the future. His plans are to remain in the Kingston area until the end of the hockey play-offs and the current CF recruiting cycle. |

West Point Exchange Student - A View from James Perkins
For the past three months, there have been a few soldiers walking to the beat of a different drum around RMC. The past two years have seen fall semester exchanges with the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), which continued this year with the addition of an exchange with the United States Military Academy (USMA) known as West Point. Cadet (CDT) Gregory Dieterich, i0007, was attached to 10 Squadron and did his best to replace OCdt Brendan Menzies, 23210. Meanwhile, I was embedded with the Stone Frigate Military Academy, while OCdt Joseph Tobin, 23029, was at USMA. James Perkins |
2004 – Great accomplishments by the RMC basketball team!
• IV Year, Kevin Dulude got the 850th rebound of his intercollegiate career in January to become the all-time leader in Ontario University Athletics. The East Division’s player of the year led his team to a record 14 regular-season victories and a playoff berth. In November, he scored 28 points against Ryerson to become the OUA’s career leading scorer as well. • Craig Norman was named Canadian university basketball coach of the year before moving to Montreal to be head coach at McGill |
Where are they now? What are they doing? From time to time, E-Veritas will focus on an Ex cadet; former staff member; and / or a friend of the college. Articles will be reproduced in the language received and in most cases not translated. We invite readers to submit articles in the language of their choice. Où sont-ils? Que font-ils? |
By Patrick Kennedy The Scarborough native, lauded by former national team coach Barrie Shepley prior to the Sydney Games as “the most focused triathlete I’ve met, maybe the most focused athlete period,” has always strived to finish what she starts. And after two straight seasons hampered by illness and injury, and time marching on, Donnelly was unwilling to commit to another four-year project. |
Extra Innings
As written earlier, Keri Kettle, the founding editor of e-VERITAS has departed Panet House. To ensure this service continues for members, we have agreed to accept the challenge of producing it for the near future. We appreciate your feedback but even more - articles from readers in French or English that we may be able to "copy & paste" would be much appreciated. Manches supplémentaires "Many Hands - make the burden light". « L’aide de plusieurs rend la tâche facile » S125 Bill & S134 Rolande Oliver |
The eVERITAS electronic Newsletter reaches over 5,000 readers . It is a service provided by the RMC Club for Members in good standing with current addresses in the data base. It is designed to provide timely information on current events at RMC and to keep Members "connected". Occasionally, it will be distributed to non-members to entice them to join or renew their membership. Membership information is available at www.rmcclub.ca Newsworthy articles from national or local papers that may not have been available to the majority of our readers may be reproduced in e-VERITAS. We will also publish articles in either official language as submitted by Cadets and Staff, on "current life" at RMC. Other short “human interest stories" about Cadets, Ex-Cadets, Alumni and current and former Staff at the College will appear from time-to-time. Readers of e-VERITAS are encouraged to submit articles in either official language to william.oliver@rmc.ca. In particular, up-to-date “Where are they now?” articles on Ex-Cadets, Alumni and current and former Staff would be most welcome. eVERITAS is intended as a supplement and not a replacement of Veritas, the highly popular magazine of the RMC Club printed and distributed three times a year to Members by mail.
Chaque édition du bulletin électronique e-VERITAS rejoint plus de 5,000 lecteurs. C’est un service fourni, par le Club des CMR, aux membres dont les adresses sont à jour dans notre base de données. Son but est de fournir des renseignements à point nommé sur les actualités au CMR et de garder en communication les membres du Club. Occasionnellement, il sera distribué aux membres qui ne sont plus en règle espérant qu’ils renouvelleront leur carte de membre annuelle ou qu’ils deviendront membres à vie. Les renseignements sur l’adhésion au Club sont disponibles au www.rmcclub.ca. Articles d’intérêt national ou local qui ne sont pas disponibles à la majorité de nos lecteurs seront reproduits dans e-VERITAS. Nous produirons aussi des articles dans l’une des deux langues officielles soumis par les élèves officiers et le personnel du Collège sur la vie actuelle au CMR. Nous offrirons de temps à autre de courtes anecdotes sur les élèves officiers, les Anciens et les membres du personnel d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. Nous encourageons les lecteurs de e-VERITAS à soumettre des articles dans l’une ou l’autre des deux langues officielles à Rolande.Oliver@rmc.ca. En particulier des articles récents sur « Où sont-ils présentement? » seraient grandement appréciés. e-VERITAS est un supplément et NON une substitution pour VERITAS la revue populaire du Club des CMR imprimée et distribuée aux membres en règle, par la poste, trois fois par année |
