Scattered to the wind
On our journey towards the reunion we have written and emailed around the globe. Here are some examples: Melbourne (AU), Wellington (NZ), San Diego, Washington DC, New York City, Daytona Beach (FL),College Station (TX), Bryan (TX) Medicine Hat (CAN), Perth (CAN), Cooma (AU), Port Edward (ZA).
So far we have located eight school friends living abroad. We also believe that Louise Rillie lives in the USA, Rodney Mitchell in Canada, Sally Adam in Greece and Jim Barr in New Zealand, but so far we have had no success in reaching them.
Numbers make the world go around
Our contact list contains 73 email addresses. We have failed to contact 34 people. And 5 have been emailed multiple times but choose not to answer :-(
Jim Barr is not Jim Barr
We thought we had traced Jim Barr in Wellington, New Zealand but it turns out we had the wrong person. Pity! The Jim who emailed us was very friendly, so that's some solace.
Fiona Blake (Sellers) is unable to join us
Fiona has told Neil that unfortunately she will be unable to attend the reunion. She sends her very best wishes to everyone and hopes that we have a very pleasant time together.
Payments are coming in fast
More that half of us have made our payment into the reunion account. Please don't forget that Anne would be very grateful if you could email her to confirm once you have paid

Alex Aitkenhead is down under!
We've "found" Alex. Here's an extract from his reply:
My wife and I emigrated in 1991 with our three children. We have moved around in Tasmania and NSW and are now settled in Cooma, NSW near the Snowy Mountains.
Alex will not be able to attend the reunion, but sends everyone his best wishes.
