I’ver just added an ‘IN MEMORIAM’ section to the Roll Book (password protected page). If you have any memorabilia of the type I’ve used, it would be gratefully received. Must be simple!

New Photos
A few new photos/images have been posted, mostly in the 1969 Gallery, but also here and there in the others.
I hope the 1969 ones don’t invoke any dormant traumas!
Web page (mis)management
The management of the Class of 72 web page is somewhat experimental: it is, after all, in the hands of a artist rather and a scientist or engineer. So – apologies if things sometimes go awry or take a while to be fixed. Please also note that I (David Cran) am the main editor and administrator, so if there are any mistakes or other corrections required, let me know.

More on the Reunion
I’ve had some additions to the list of attendees passed to me. Please note the message on the Reunion page, which states “Tony McLeod is the point of contact at this stage, and will keep this page updated. Please let him know if there`s anything else which you may wish to include. He’ll do more research and post appropriate links so interested people will get a better idea of what each of the activities entails.” Please make contact with Tony if you have any queries or information about the reunion.
And please pass on the website link to anyone in the Class you run across. We’ll look to include a link in the next issue of Snippets as well.
