There have been lots of reunions since we left Wales all those years ago – some 46 of them now – but somehow until the 38th year after I left, I did not get my act together and make it to one. I had helped construct the rescue boats that were at Pearson College , along with Jeff Dowell and Leslie Bryant and I had been lucky enough to be on the initial stage of Sea Star – the around the world promotional cruise for the UWC. I had managed to keep in touch with some of my fellow ex-students, but not as many as I would have liked.
In 2005 I retired and moved from Ottawa Canada to Umbria Italy, so both time and location made it easier to get re-involved with my fellow ex-students. It is a small world but somehow the Atlantic creates an major barrier.
I have included here some material that I have collected on the Istanbul Re-union, organized by Ferruh, The Berlin Reunion organized by Elsa and Ulrich and the USA Reunion organized by Richard et al… I have also included some material from our 40th Year anniversary at the College and the 50th Year celebration that was held in London. those occasions were followed by the Finland sailing organized bu Kai in 2015, The Italian reunion in 2016 in Rome, Umbria and Tuscany by Ditte and Cesilie the 2017 event marking 45 years at AC and now I have added the latest, again organized by Ferruh.
