Catching up with old friends

Wed. 13th: Came across an old email from Ruth the Sec of Victorian Principals’Association (VPA) from ’07 asking Gerry and I if we wanted to call in to her summer home on the way back from Warrnambool. I emailed her to ask if the offer was still on the table. To cut a long story short, she has invited me to visit with her hubby and two children tomorrow. It in Portarlington, about three hours away. Looking forward to catching up.

When Gerry and I visited Warrnambool in ’07 we stayed with Howard Looney who had been our VPA guide when we visited the state schools. I had been in touch with Howard up to about six months ago but had not told him about the Exchange. So I just arrived at his door today and to say that he and his wife Di were surprised is an understatement. He is still in shock even after two hours of chat and catching up. It is amazing that I have ended up living in a town that I had already visited and where I knew two of its citizens! Is ait an mac an tsaoil!
