FORSTER REUNION

It was a wild bunch that gathered at Forster at the end of Feb and into March this year - 2017. At least they regarded themselves as a "wild bunch". Of course over the years the edge has been rubbed off and they're now a fairly docile lot. At least that's what Terry Dwyer told me to write!!!
Fay Keast (1963-64), Dave Otterman (ring-in), Barb (Campbell) Otterman and Marg (Stuckey) Crofts. The Ottermans had come from Perth for the event.
Heather and Terry Dwyer along with Mick McGrath and his wife Robyn were the movers and shakers for the reunion. Forster is certainly a great spot for such a gathering. Ray Petts is the shorter guy in the 2nd photograph.
 Garry and Margaret Towle. Garry (in blue shirt) was a Church of Christ pastor when Fay and I lived in Orange. In the bottom photo, Garry Craig and his wife Kay  were enjoying the gathering. Garry was one of the best tennis players in the 1961-62 period. The two Garrys roomed together in Marinya dorm - the same dorm I was in during 1962.
 Gordon and Di Nolan were in Cooma at some stage - maybe just before Fay and I spent 13 years there (1986-98). His knickname was PeeWee.
 Murray Norman and wife Kay along with Noel Miller.
Fred Gollash and his wife Inta. Inta (Grass) was on my table back in 1962. Probably I was on her table if the truth be told. Hadn't seen them for some decades.
