What a great idea, I wish I could be there (will be skiing with the family in the S.I.). Best of luck with the get together, I hope it goes well and that lots of people turn up. I do get home now and then and maybe sometime it will coincide with a reunion.
I do occasionally wonder what different people are up to and where they are. Perhaps an easy way of filling in some of the gaps is to sign up to Fergals google group and fill in your profile. I have started it off. 
Maybe I am one of the lucky ones but I do have a lot of fond memories of that period (maybe need to be sensitive to those who don't) and would love to know how people are. Kevin fills me in with the odd bit of news.
And if anyone ever need a place to kip in NZ give us a shout.
 
cheers

Adding Ray Meleady to the email thread, so he can own up to his mugshot!

Peter O'Kelly now added....

 

Best bet is to name a date some time mid/late Sept in the city centre, or maybe the Botanic House?. With work and other commitments, we will never get a date to suit all, so just go for it. If this session can form the basis of some form of get-together in the next few months, to allow people to plan and travel accordingly (John H seems to be a Kiwi now!), that would be perfect

 

How about Sept 13th eight o'clock in the Botanic House??

Hello Pillar,

 

 Firstly, commiserations on Sunday. For what it's worth and if you can stick it, please stay put. There is an All Ireland in that team, and it will be all the sweeter when it comes. Here endeth the lecture. Here are the beginnings of a class reunion. In your professional capacity, you probably have contacts for John Guihan, Richie McGrath and John O Shaughnessy.

 

Anyone talking to Philip Bowler, Kevin Houston (army), David Bone, Derek Keegan, Eddie Bourke, Eddie Wall, Tommy McDonnell ( was teaching in the community school in Firhouse), Joe Doherty ( civil service), Alan King, Brian Conway, John Conway, Declan Falconer, ( was in customs and excise, I think), Seamus Ryan ( eircom) Cathal Ryan ( An Post)........  Any e mail addresses, pleases add them on.

 

All the Best,

Kevin

Kev, it would be great for a group of us to get
together for a few beers to start this off - we
can then try to pull a full list together and
arrange something more formal. WAGs definitely
out!



See the attached........see how the names start
flowing back once you start looking at the faces??
Note Lanky is close enough to me to (as usual) get
me in to trouble with his smart comments!



Speak soon......

Glasnevin. The Class of '79 - Found word(s) UCE

Hello Gentlemen,



Last week I read in the obituary column in the
Irish Independent of the death of Finbar Gaffney's
mother. I couldn't get to the funeral. Then I
realised that I hadn't seen him since 1979. I
heard he was working in the bank, but that's all -
yet "Gaffo" ( as he was then) and I had a
bi-annual pugilistic appointment at the back of
the swimming pool!  I met Damien Hunter, Michael
Fagan and Mervyn Hollywood at a friend's mother's
funeral. I met John O Shaughnessy at Donal O
Laoire's funeral, I last spoke to Fergal Dearle
after his mother passed away, and I last spoke to
Cathal Ryan at Fergus Mc Donnell's father's
funeral, and Mark Collins at his own father's
funeral .......



However recently,  I had pints with Paul Gunn in
London, dinner with David Cummins in New York,
John Hunter and his family came out to my place, I
met Breffni Mc Guinness on Nassau Street and I
meet John Feaheny regularly to slag him about all
the money he is making (Naturally, he always
pleads poverty). I bump into Pat Boylan, Paul
Caffrey, Anthony Sheridan and John Guihan now and
then, and I bumped into Billy Polion, Seamus Ryan,
Dessie Cunningham and Dennis Murphy ages ago.



Anytime I meet anyone from our year they remark on
how it might be good to hook up. Would anyone be
interested in this? Should it be a pint? Dinner?
Should we ask any of the teachers? Should a few of
us meet up first and chat? Any other names to add
to this list, I thought I'd just start the ball
rolling.



Do thuairm faoi sin a phlé.



Le gach dea ghuí,



Kevin ( aka Redser)

Hi Fergal,
Tommy McDonnell is at tommy...@eircom.net - Welcome Tommy.
I was talking to John Feaheny yesterday. He was suggesting that Hedigans might best absorb a group, if it were to be a Friday or Saturday. Off the top of my head, how would Hedigans,Saturday 15th of September at 6 pm suit?
Come on John Hunter, you could make an effort to come over for a few pints ... skiing on the South Island, on the piste no doubt- what a flimsy excuse!
All the Best,
Kevin
