Weston Halifax Clan Web Site

Alice, Philip and John, October 25, 2008

Welcome to our updated
Weston Family Web Site

(formerly the
"Calgary Clan in Kuwait",

now the
"Halifax Clan in Kuwait")

We're hosting thousands of photos on this site,
in an effort to share our latest news with distant friends and relations.

In an ongoing project, John has been collecting and featuring family photos over the ages, on a special sub-web dedicated to the cause of documenting the family history for three arms of the Weston/Bews' families.

Our Family History Documentation Project
is no longer being hosted on this site.
(Family Trees are still posted)

A link to this page can be found on the
Family Pictures Index Page

JOURNAL

formerly known as the "Latest News Page"

Click here to go to our
Family Pictures Index Page,
that will link you to the many pages
we've built this and last year.
(We've removed older journal pages
to keep the web size down)

Be warned though:
These pages are very graphics intensive.
Slow internet connections may result in some long waiting times for the pictures to appear.

(new) Weston Halifax Property

On our summer home leave in 2007 -
we purchased some pristine Nova Scotia ocean-front acreage,
a short distance outside Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Plans are going well for a 3-building estate
on the property. Construction likely to start in spring 2011 - after we repatriate back
to Canada from Kuwait.

We're hosting a special web page with
photos and plans of the estate,
and this can be visited here.

We're continuing to be busy with the Kuwait Caledonian's Society

We've built some web pages dedicated to some of the Society's social events
and are hosting them on our website.
You can visit the index page to these events here.

Q8 Caledonian's Society Social Events Index

We're also the web master's for the Kuwait Caledonian's web site now
- a social group dedicated to enjoying a Scottish flavoured lifestyle here in Kuwait.

The "Official" Web Site links back to this web site for the events.
We prefer to host them on our private site.

John's Daily Dose (joke collection) To commemorate the 10th anniversary of John's Daily Dose e-mailing's, He's finally gotten around to updating the web page archive of all those mailings. Pictures were included in March 2004. All have been preserved as best as possible in this archive. For inclusion on the distribution list - just contact John here. No advertising, no Spam, no ulterior motives, just for the fun of it.

In 2004 after our High School Reunion, I scanned the two Yearbooks for our school that I worked on in 1972 and 1973 We've posted the scanned pages on the following web pages:

Nelson McIntyre Collegiate 1972 Challenge Yearbook	Nelson McIntyre Collegiate 1973 Challenge Yearbook

John built a special web page dedicated to his
old pipe-major, Douglas Will, who selflessly donated
his time, effort and resources to tutoring
countless students of the Highland Bagpipes,
in Winnipeg Manitoba,
between the 1960's and 1970's.

A little out-dated now, his "Alumni" page

John's Wafra JO Alumni Page

John has prepared a page that showcases
some of the people he knew and worked with
in Wafra, Kuwait,
that have since left Kuwait.

A bit of a tribute to old friends....

Doug Will's
Bagpipe Music Page

Collected here are scans of all his hand-written
(and copied hand-written) music and arrangements
that can be found - in order to share
with others this work.
John hopes some of his other former students
will share scans of their copies of his music
- so we can all improve our repertoire's.
