60 Years On ... Celebrate 1938
"Old Boys" Reunion
Memories came flooding back and laughter echoed throughout the room. Friends were reunited after after an absence of 40 to 50 years ... and more.
The back of the menu was left free specifically for the exchange of names and addresses -- not one menu went home empty.
A poignant moment was felt by all when one minute's silence was observed in memory of all former child migrants who have died.
Everyone enjoyed a wonderful meal and commented on the quality of the food and table service. Our thanks to Peter Hickson and his wonderful staff for the beautiful food and delightful environment.
Many photos were taken of individuals, tables, and groups, however it was the college photos that were the hit of the day. Getting the groups together was a feat in itself. They were as unruly in 1998 as in 1938.
Each group sang (or attempted to sing) their school song and it was a delight to see so many walking together down memory lane.
Certificates of Acknowledgement signed by the Mayor of Fremantle were presented to the men of 1938 and 1939.
Remaining certificates of those who were not in attendance can be obtained by phoning Maureen Colgan on (08) 9317 2753 after 6.30pm.
Photos taken that day, as well as those which were on display, can be ordered through C-BERS. Please phone to make a time when you can come and see them.
