Tom Tagami's Retirement Party!!!

My friends and I went down to our old high school, Killarney Secondary to attend Mr. Tagami's retirement party. He's probably the most influential coach/teacher to have worked in the school. Throughout his career, Tom Tagami has been known for his talent of turning a motley crew into a championship team. Basically, the stuff you see in movies, but he's the real thing. It was no surprise to see who attended the ceremony, his fellow peers, friends and family, and many former players and graduates who appreciate his work. He touched all our lives, so it was a pleasure to share in tonight's celebration. A scholarship in Tag's name was also created to honour him. Check out the photos, I took tons! Coached by Tag, we became the Vancouver Junior Rugby Champs in 1987. That's me!!! The party took place in the main gymnasium. Mike and Bruce... Mike and Nicole...Dude, I didn't know Vancouver Giants forward, Milan Lucic graduated from Killarney! He was there with his MVP trophy from the Memorial Cup Tournament. Apparently, he brought the actual Memorial Cup to the school earlier today! Mr. Flewelling, I always had fun in his English class. Mr. Tom Tagami, the man of the evening!!!

We loved him because he used to drive around in a Fiero GT wearing leather driving gloves. The school honours Tag by renaming the basketball court... Mr. Jefferson, I used to get into so much trouble in his class... We all pose with Mr. Fukui and Mr. Campbell. I actually got kicked out of Mr. Fukui 's class in my senior year, LOL!!!
