FIVE GENERATIONS


Maybe the only bloke you might recognise is the fella in the blue shirt on the right - the one with a balding patch at the top.... like so many of us. Did you think it was Kevin Farrell? You were right. The bloke in the check shirt is his son, and you guessed it, that's Kev's grandson in the picture too. Oh, it looks like Kev's Mum is in the picture to give us FIVE GENERATIONS! Well done Kevin. Does anybody know Kev's whereabouts? I'm guessing Canberra or Queanbeyan.

IN THE SIXTIES

 There are some folk who don't believe I ever studied. Well, I have proof positive! Here I am doing some work. Dunno whose glasses I borrowed to make the pic as convincing as it could possibly be.

So, do you know any of these people? There are a few familiar faces. How many can you name?

 This crazy guy lived next door to me. Still see him a couple of times a year.

...and his room mate was right into the music scene. Still is. 
Rob's into fishing, boating and camping.... amongst other interests.

MARG CROFTS VISITS


Marg [Stuckey] Crofts called in today. It was great to spend some time with Marg and her husband Steve Allchurch. And I never knew she was a lefty!!

Marg went through WWTC 1961-62. I was just a little first year when she was a seasoned second year student. We have kept a loose connection over the years. Of course she was a Kambu girl wasn't she? Like Barb, Di, Julie, Sandy and even Fay. Did I miss anyone out?  Let me know. Email me at keasty446@gmail.com

We chatted about travel plans, trips we'd made, courses attended recently etc.  They were travelling in a 4WD with a decent camper trailer in tow. Hope they enjoyed their days at Lake Conjola after leaving the Sussex area.

TRIPPING ABOUT

 Bernie and Janice (see previous blog) are gonna be busy this year. Not only are they hosting the ILLAWARRA GATHERING, but they're also heading to Europe to check things out over there. Obviously not at the same time.

 Fay and I caught up with Jan SMART in Bomaderry the other day. I just did a quick check to see if everything was OK. Checked the fridge for beer, the garage and also the piano stool (ask her about that one!) She's going well. Hoping to sell the home (architect designed) and move to Berry pretty soon.

At the Gerroa Fishos Club, an important meeting took place - Annette & Barry LAWRENCE (Nowra), Bernie & Janice FITZPATRICK (Figtree) and Fay and I gathered to do a bit of planning for our coming EUR trip. So far so good! Janice's job is to scam all the BNB and HOTELS and get the best possible deals. She's doin' OK so far. We may take on tour planning eh Janice? Beats gardening, lawn mowing and renovating houses!
Oh, if you have suggestions re Italy and Germany, please send them in - keasty446@gmail.com. Even Greece (if it's still there), the Netherlands and Mexico.

Any other folk have some trip reporting?
PS You'll note I'm not wearing my hat that has been lost!!!! Keep an eye out for the black hat please.
