DENILIQUIN VISIT

Well, did you work out who that was in the previous story? Yeah, I guess there would've been a few who picked her as Judy Wilson now Judy James from Orange. Why didn't you say so in COMMENTS? She was a 64-65 student.

How about the couple with Fay and I in the photo above? Fay and I just visited them in Deniliquin where they've lived for eons!
They both went through WWTC in 63-64. They were both in the same section as Fay Bailey and Di Edwards.
After 2 years at college this bloke asks the girl if she'll partner him to the grad ball in 1964. Well, she said yes! And that was the first of many yes answers she's given him over the last 40 years.
He started his teaching at Corowa, then Gundagai, then District Relief, then Tarabandra (between Gundy and Tumut).
She commenced at Carlton South for 2 terms before being shuffled to Balranald. She's currently part-time at Conargo, just up the road from Deni.
After they married 39 years ago, they replaced Jan (Ferguson) and Jim Smart at Talbingo.
They have 3 kids who've all done well. Deni seems to be in a central location so they can visit any of their kids.
One of the things they're into now is 4WD tripping, and they've notched up some impressive journeys so far with more to come.
Have you worked out who's in the photo with Fay and I? You clever thing! Click on COMMENTS below. Then write a comment in the box provided. Then do the word verification, then where it says CHOOSE AN IDENTITY, click on other, then put in your name and click PUBLISH YOUR COMMENTS. Easy eh?

Next story I will reveal who I took to the grad ball in 1964. This one may surprise you.

That's Mr and Mrs Armytage of course! How did I know? Well ......... when you click on the photo to see it in its own window, the name of the slide appears. Bob and ........ can't quite remember Mrs Armytages's first name. So do I get 7/10? And an early mark? (The couple with them seem vaguely familiar)

I know! I know! .......... or at least I THINK I know.
June Alden?
Grahame, are you coercing all these ex-students you meet on your travels to join in at Marion's 14th July, 60th reunion at Wagga September or next March down the coast?

Two correct answers. Well done Whizzers and Sue. Bob Armytage and wife June (formerly June Alden.)

I'll be more careful with the next one!!!! You have no idea who I partnered at grad ball in 1964!!!
