Re: Couple of things


 

Quoting John Eyles <john.eyles1@...>:
JP,
Reading these replies forces me to see the blank spaces I have in my
memory, which is both interesting and alarming.
However I will be at Ariah Park, just let me know when.
Thanks again

Kel

Yep Greg I think under the window and Barry not far away….he introduced me to the Moody Blues J. Interesting …9 you think eh – that makes sense – Col thought 10.



OK on the support base – that’s good. If you think of more – well, you know where we are J

Hey John,

Yep, I am still in Deni, And doing fine really. A bit limited, but still drive and can get around town with a wheelchair hoist on the roof

I am lucky to have a good group of friends and we all catch up regularly, plus a son and 2 daughters who are really supportive.

Now, Dorm 7 - if you were
across the room, then maybe Greg Brain was near you (??? ), with Barry McCormack a little further down on your side. Also, I dont think there was more than 9 of us in the one dorm ???

Cheers.

Hi Alan,



Firstly, sorry to hear about the leg – that’s not good but hope you are otherwise OK. Are you still in Deniliquin?



Dorm 7 was closest to the Dining Room – and Alan Rub? I never thought of him – be interesting to see other reactions to that. Interesting about your thoughts of Gardiner 5 &6…let’s see what others have to add – I for one certainly cannot remember…and I think
I was in Dorm 7 as well – 2nd on right (I think). And OK on Alan Ruby…interesting – I know Howard was there somewhere

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
