If it is in fact the Vag up for sale, then we’d better get all our francs in a
row!!

Wow, I stayed at Club Vagabond in 1978 – I was an eight year old kid travelling
with my dad who lived and worked in the area when he travelled in HIS youth. I
wish he’d known about the reunion

Well, we lived in Leysin in 1968-69. My mother, Dr Robins, was lecturing in
Philosophy at the American College of Swizterland under Dean Zagier, and much of
the student life revolved around the Vagabond Club. So, fond memories.

I just stumbled across this site, on a whim I googled “Leysin, Club Vagabond”.
Live in Boston, work often at WHO in Geneva. In summer 1969, I spent a great 3
weeks at Club Vagabond. Dougal Haston was holding court in the bar. Went skiing
at Diablerets… Will be in Geneva in Jan. 2013 and I may make a pilgrimage to see
what’s become of it. Cheers

Glenda Brindle (nee Milich) from Australia worked at Hotel Central Residence in
1975.
I am in Switzerland on my way to Leysin to reminisce the good old days at Club
Vagabond, and just to see Leysin again.

I visited several times in March 1973 when visiting my uncle Jim Lavery and his
wife Kathy Lavery. They drove a 1961 blue vw cargo van. there was a big fire and
seriously bohemian sideburns.

Thank you sooo much Tom, indeed being apart of the Vag family was a unique,
warm, loving place with vagabonds looking for the next spot but never left,
never boring, surrounded by magnificent beauty that changed daily, a time of
which I will never forget, ever! Without you to document our lives there we
would not be together in this way, I thank you for that.
I am sorry to have missed the Reunion, had I’d known for sure I would have been
there. Any plans for the future?

Hi Yvonne:
Well, what a pleasant surprise. I think the last time we met was when you came
through the Vag with your parents, and we spent a short time together.
I was working in Lausanne when I discovered the Vag in the fall of 1964. I
became its winter barman in the fall of 1965, then hung around for the summer –
cooking in the Vag kitchen, teaching English at a girl’s school in Leysin –
until the fall of 1966, when I returned to Canada. So somewhere in that time
period we met.
I went to Montreal, married an Italian Montrealer, raised three children, and
worked as an architect until I retired around 2004.
I’m still in Montreal, trying to stay busy in retirement. I’m inhad a chance to
attend the reunion touch occasionally with Sonia Tesarski, Ducky, Paul Murrill,
Kathinka (Thierens) Makela, Hilly and a couple of other ex-Vagabonders. I had a
chance to attend the big reunion but decided not to. There were about 200 people
there!
Hope you are well. Would be nice to hear from you!
Sincerely,
Brian Rogers [Baie d’Urfe, Quebec]

Hi Brian
I was taking a walk down memory lane this afternoon and saw your comment.
We did have the time of our lives.
It was always nice to keep in touch with you during our working years in
Montreal. I retired in October 2004

I lived in Leysin from 1988 till 1991! It’s where I met my dearest friends Becky
and Yves Wenger and Al Rumble! We all moved to whistler in 1991 and have been
here ever since raising our families together! I know the vag lives on in our
hearts!

Was talking to my daughter who is leaving for a summer of backpacking in Europe.
I was boring her with an old man’s memories of my backpacking days in 1968-70
and mentioned the old Vagabond. One thing led another and I googled Club
Vagabond. Not surprised to find a website or two. I still have my membership
card and many great memories of the old place. Salud.
