November 2008 Tiernan Humphrys would like to hear from anyone who left in 1992, especially those who boarded in Rochelle.
September 2008 Deirdre van Tilborg (Wijnstekers) left Ashton in 1984 and is wondering if there are any others interested in reuniting. She visits Ireland regularly.
Older messages Murray Curran, presently in Australia suggests that a 20 year reunion for the class of 86 would be great and suggests around Christmas. Any volunteers to organise this event??
