Long, long service was based on a whim

 

Veterans compared their war wounds and generally had fun reminiscing at the annual celebration of long service, held May 10 at the University Club.

Art Education Professor Elizabeth J. Saccá, one of the "class of 1974," proposed a toast to Concordia in which she said that her decision to come here was based on falling in love with Montreal -- seeing a beautifully displayed crate of oranges outside Dionne's, the upscale grocery emporium that was once on Ste. Catherine St., in the heart of downtown.

"It was at that moment that I decided if they offer me the job, I'll take it," she said. "Concordia was open, new and struggling. It was an open, wild, disorganized place."

To give a little historical perspective, Saccá gave her own timeline. For those employees who started in 1980, "The postmaster said the 17-cent postage stamp would definitely go up." For those who started in 1975, Mirabel Airport opened, and the Canadian dollar was stronger than the U.S. dollar "for the last time."

Those who started working at Loyola and Sir George in 1970 would remember how the FLQ Crisis dominated the news, and those who arrived at Loyola and Sir George in 1965 would recall that the Henry F. Hall Building and the Montreal métro opened that year, on the same day.
