Reunion 2019
Event planned for 8th November 2019 due to certain normally far away people being in town.
Again I will use the names I grew up with as a kid, if people later
change their names, it's their business, not mine. My memories are
stuck in 1952/3.
A bright, warm and windy day at the Kirribilli Club for lunch. Many thanks to Sarah for keeping us organised.
Attendees. Partners in brackets.
Girls: Valerie Allen, Susan Keating, Sarah Neal, Elizabeth Pearce
Boys:
Andrew Andersons, Ross Bonthorne, Brock Bryce (and Anna), David Cohen,
John Fullagar (and Margaret), John Hirst, Ray Lowenthal (and Dianne),
Guy Parsons (and Lyn), Dick Pollitt, John Pym (and sister Rosemary)
Apologies
from John Kable and James Denny (any more apologies that I missed?)
Just noted from my emails that Paul Gaskin indicated that he was
coming, but never arrived, I hope all is well there.
Missing
and very much missed and really should have been there Jan (and Graeme)
and Frank, we need to hear from them and get written excuse notes.
Others
of course from that 52/53 OC class who may read this should promptly
email either Sarah or me so we can keep an updated and correct email
contact list.
Valerie was fashionably late, mostly still working
on English time-clock. David somewhat late due to trains and
definitely not his fault.
Elizabeth showed us a crumpled 2C class photo, I think we can easily find her in it....... now safely installed in the Mosman photos.
Last change 8:35am 15-11-2019
Reunion
photos to follow, needed plenty of sifting and sorting plus cropping and
wrinkle removal (no not likely, we are all as we are) and resizing for convenient and speedy page display.
All images from the cameras on the day at Google Photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ei7W7PvPWXmcmQBC8
Please
email any other pictures of interest taken at the reunion that you
would like added to the Google collection or to this page.
Images and text now complete, maybe. Refresh your browser as some will stick with showing old versions of pages.
Photos from Guy and Lyn Parsons, and Di Lowenthal. Images always cropped to my taste, complete images are at that Google link.

To
wrap up, here we have a nice twist to our 66 year connection to Fort
Street Primary, this is Andrew showing Guy pictures of his grand-son
who now attends the school.
Not
everyone is included in the individual faces as some shots just did not
work out, my fault not yours. I try to do grab shots not posed
faces. Hopefully everyone is included somewhere in the table
photos.
If anyone would like to add more stories or photos then please email me at
