Milestone for Katoomba

 

 

A Reminder

An annoying reminder. But it's good for our planning to know who'll be coming in November, and also good to know who we'll get to meet up with for what I think will be a long time to come.

50 years since we left Katoomba High. And a lot has happened since; perhaps the greatest rate of change in all history, which has nothing to do with the reunion, except we've all lived through it. More than most could say.

At one of the previous reunions we had in Katoomba, during the tour of the school one ex-student said to no one in particular how relieved he was that we all seem to have so much in common, and gave Katoomba High, perhaps too readily, the credit for it.

We do have enough in common for a lot of those who've met up at past reunions to continue to meet up regularly, or at different times and places. I know I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.

So if you plan to come and intend to pay, please do both. If you intend to come and will pay, please let us know. If you don't intend to come, also please let us know. We'd be relieved to know you're coming and disappointed to know you're not. But do let us know, as soon as possible.

This year we have as a guest Ms Betty Price. She came to our last reunion, and very happy to come up again from Goulburn for this one. I wouldn't have known it at the time but she is an amazing, and interesting woman. Full of smiles, by the way, in contrast to the sternness, for those who remember being efficiently pilloried by her.

Definites so far who have paid are: Pat OConnell, Ron Gardner, Peter Clark, Col Gellatley, Narelle Anderson (Brownjohn) ,David Brown, David Chapman, Pat de Groot, Wendy Bugeja (Masters), Paul Horne and Carol Isaacs (Pereira). And then there's a selection of partners. Others who are Definites are Bev Clark, Lionel Etheridge, Rob Lockley, Di Murphy, Phillip Young, Kevin Allen, Kathy Breeze, Tasso Tricos, Margaret Stevenson.

PH, for KHS Committee
