It's Quiet Here...

Either we're a shy lot or not as computer savvy as we surely would have been if we were 40 years younger. Imagine the Bill Gates who would have come from the intellects of our matric year, and if there'd been an internet back then we would have had all those bright ideas like starting google and eBay and MySpace etc etc. But alas, we were born too early to leave our mark on the cyber world that way.

Anyway, get on board here and let's make this a memorable cyberspace record of our matric year (it might even still be around when we're all not!)

News update: we have an email contact for Kathy Ley (nee Noble). Welcome Kathy, hope you join up and are brave enough to post something (picture?). I'll post another pic to go with this, but they're all on my work computer so it'll have to be on Monday [have done as promised, group of us celebrating at the local Indian restaurant on Steve's last visit downunder, August '05; caption "We're a happy team - at Hawthorn? (Rajbhog, Templestowe actually!)].

Otherwise, if you click on the link at left "blogs that link here", you'll discover that we're currently ranked blog number 7,966,799 in popularity world-wide. Now there's a challenge, we should be able to improve that considerably by making this more interesting...

Our Mission

Like Elwood and Jake, we're kind of on a mission from God. Getting the band back together!

So the purpose of this blog is to:

a) round up as many as possible of the gang from Balwyn High who matriculated in 1967, get us all registered here on this blog, and that way we have a growing network of up-to-date contacts;

b) keep up to date with news and happenings in all our lives;

c) share photos and anecdotes;

d) organise things. Like hopefully a "40 up" reunion; and

d) reminisce. Nostalgia. Funny stories from back then. And now that we're at least as old and wise as those teachers who put the fear of God into us, we can chat about them from on high!

Our hope is for humour, lots of it. And just the fun of sharing with the only people on this earth who lived through those school days with us all, and have the same memories. Special people from a special time in our lives! Getting everyone together again, like the Blues Brothers on a mission, putting the band back together.


Founding members, simply because these are the emails to hand, are Sandy Carr (ADJ Carr, and there'll be a special prize for whoever remembers what each of those initials stand for, perhaps we'll call it the Archibald Rogers Prize!), Tony Masters, Chris Ritter, Steve Stretchberry and Geoff Williams. If you are one of the special members of this band of 1967 matriculants, simply reply to the email at the top, or post a comment with your email address and we'll get you signed on.

Then start posting. Pic's. Funny stories. News updates. Whatever, just great to hear from you.
