Some extracts from the 1972 Journal have been posted in the Gallery at: https://duntroonclassof1972.com/gallery/1972-first-class/

I’m starting to compile lists of things our classmates have achieved (not including numbers of grandchildren!)  So far I’ve started on four: Awards, Publications (Chris Clark being ahead by an uncatchable lead), Overseas Operational Service and Representative Sporting Teams and Achievements. I’ll shortly put the drafts (and I stress these are drafts) on a password protected page seeking your inputs/corrections/additions. If you have any suggestions for other lists, please let me know.

I’ve just found a website on Tom Cobley at http://tomcobley.net/abouttc.html

Worth having a look at – and if you haven’t read either of his books, also well worth it. The Final Tally is particularly pertinent to all of us.

A few more photos added to the Gallery (1969) courtesy of John Black. And the In Memoriam site on the Roll Book page has been also updated.

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!

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!

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.

Just uploaded the Four Corners episode in 1970 to Gallery – 1970- Third Class, or you can enjoy it at http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2011/08/08/3288457.htm
