It was good to get together and talk. We shared classes at primary school, high school, technical school and through our 5 year apprenticeships at the State Engineering Works, a large government engineering works at Leighton.
We have kept in contact over the years; I moving into teaching and Jack into deep sea diving on oil rigs etc. Our conversation inevitably ends up talking about how we solved some mechanical problem, or how a part for some machine was handmade. Not too many other people are interested in those conversations, so when we part we are well satisfied that another person has fully understood what we have were able to do or fix.
The tavern meal was excellent, so large that I couldn't finish it.
This is a photo of Joan, Martin and Helen with forced smiles having endured a 2.5 hour wait to get through customs at Bali’s Denpassar airport in the late 1980s

Love the picture of Joan and the children.
Nice to spend time with old friends.
Be well my friend.....:-)Hugs
Lovely photo of joan and the kids, It.s a wonder they were still smiling after being at the airport for over 2 hours. i remember afive hour delay there , We left the airport at 2 in the morning and everyone was bad tempered or drunk. Except for me , I was just too scared and worried about the state of the pilots by then, glad you met up with Jack. Marg
