ANN AND GEORGE CELEBRATE 60 YEARS OF MARRIAGE.

 When I was teaching at Kuraby State School, I made friends with the staff. It was only a small school when I started there in 1990 but numbers grew each year. The administration clerk was Ann. She had been at the school for years and just about ran the school because the principal was a teaching principal when the numbers were small. In the early 2000 many of us were retiring but we kept in touch. You may remember the Birthday Bear lunches we used to have to keep in touch. We also went on holidays together. However, Covid put an end to all of that but we have kept in touch on line. Last week we were invited to Ann and George's 60th wedding anniversary. It was so much fun because beside friends and relatives there were past teachers from the 90's at Kuraby School. There  were even some past students there as well.

Bill, me, Ann and George. We are all 83.

We celebrated at Kuraby Hotel, There was lots of food and delicious anniversary cake.
