Looking back the years gone and friendships grown
We are passing another significant mile stoneSadly, not many stones left In our marathon of life As a great poet once said, it is the journey that mattersBy George we have had a good stretch thanks to qualify of friends
The tide of friendship, I more than anyone else in batch have realised Does not bank on perfection, riches, looks or not even the backgroundIn fact for mates, my weaknesses & shortcomings became the food for friendship None of us are perfect but those imperfections made us a perfect groundAs perfection is not essential for friendship but care & friendliness are must

Forgot to mention- UK- gets The Prize for the most ‘views ‘– 2018 . !!
Well Done – Praxy, Ariya and CJ. and others across The Big Pond !
Canada and NZ- did well- considering the small numbers of mates in those locations .
How many of us are there in NZ ? I can only think of Eddie – at least, he is the only one who writes regularly from NZ , and the rest have moved up to Aussie . ?
Lets see who gets The Prize for 2019- !
Thanks again Sam for the wonderful web work – taking the time of day, from your regular day, spending your personal time , time away from family , and A Special Thank You to Kathy — for your tolerance towards all of us/ web readers, when Sam is spending his time ( time away from you ! ) pouring over Class of 64 stuff !
Special Good Wishes to both of you and your family for 2019 .
