Me and Mr Jones

This celebration was held only weeks before I was to return to live in Australia once again. I share my birthday on the 1st December with Michelle's dad Trevor, he's still a good friend of mine and I'm looking forward to catching up with him and Judy next year. I haven't seen him since I was over in 1993 to celebrate his 50th, so later this year I guess he is officially a pensioner............can't imagine that will please him. Anyway the Jones family generously hosted my 18th party at their home, it was a great night celebrating with friends, many of whom I still have regular contact with.

Six years after that night I married on my 24th birthday and Michelle was one of my bridesmaids, our friendship has continued over the years since we met back in 3S with Mrs Stedman in 1980. Who else out there keeps in contact with old Pakuranga College friends?
