Re: Couple of things

 

Hi John and All,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?To answer your Question regarding 1968 - ( I thought That'll be easy - Ha ) , I was in dorm 8 - or was it 7 ??? - the one closest to the dining room anyway !!!? ?and slept near Kel and Dino ( so they can confirm ) . I suspect Alan Ruby may have been our prefect - but am open to corrections.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Weren't there other 5th formers in dorms? 5 & 6 of Gardiner House ???
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?I ran into a bit of trouble (not literally ) in 2016 and had my leg shortened again and ( to cut a long story short ) (-sorry about the pun ) ended up in a wheelchair.So although I wont be able to make reunions, Its still good to hear how everyone is getting along.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Regards,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Doyley.

Thanks Leonie – that’s great news – make sure to tell him to keep the exercise up no matter what J and can you ask him whether he was there in 5th form and then if so – what dorm he was in and who the prefect was if he can remember.

Hi all

?

Dave had his hip replacement op on 2/6/2020, came home on the 4/6/2020. Had had enough of hospital.? He is going great guns. Has his 1st proper rehab session today. Bit sore now.

?

Glad to hear you are improving Chris.

?

Dave can’t tell you who the prefects were – not his dorm sorry.

?

Cheers

Dave & Leonie

Hi All - again, hope this finds you well and that Chris Davis and Dave Stott are all improving. They're the only ones I am aware of that have been on the sick list recently.

I have sent out an email to see if our Riverina locals wanted to get together? somewhere around the 7th July and probably in Ariah Park. When I have a date and confirmation of venue I will put out another email in case any of you outside the area want to come across. These get togethers are always a good fun day out.

Secondly, a bit of a heads up and a question for you all. As you may be aware, I have been on Col Semmler's back since 2014 to get him to write up some memoirs as his memory seems to be somewhat better than many - LOL. The Covid shutdown gave him the impetus and he has been very diligent...some might say that Messrs Bladwell and Thompson would have been proud of him :0). Suffice to say that sometime between now and our next reunion in 2022 we should have something for you to read. I anticipate the end product will be a collective effort and if you are interested in contributing your memories let me know as they too can be added in. So start winding back your memories 50 something years back and jot down some of your memorable moments. Things that come to mind are your 1st year experiences, the streaking craze, out bush adventures, seances, dances, gala days, dorm raids, dining room raids, Muck up day etc. List could be endless. I have quite a few photos as well. I do not envisage a published tome but more something to be printed and bound and left for you to reminisce and perhaps left with your descendants to read.

And finally, some questions - in 1968 who was the Mutch Dorm 8 prefect? We are pretty sure Howard Briggs was Dorm 7 and Mad Dog Davidson may have also had one of the three dagging holes out the back. And speaking of those two dorms - where was everyone else as those two dorms would have housed a max of 20-24 and according to the 1968 class photo there were 42 of us so if you include Ken, Bill Sheridan, Phil Young and Bruce Adams who were Prefects that year that still leaves at least another dorm's worth somewhere. So, if you can remember, can you let me know what Dorm you were in that year and the prefect.

John
