    Lovely photo and lovely post. Happy Happy memories of better times, I'm sure. I too was a little sister, but have now overtaken my Big Brother. He will be forever 39 while I'm now 60. Sending a big hug...

    @Sister Thinking of you. It would have been my sister's 50th birthday this month. She was a difficult person but of course I loved her. I got a bit upset on her birthday, thinking of all the things we would have been doing that day if she was alive. I rang my mother who was thinking about the day she was born, a happier thought. It's difficult. Big hug, K xox

    Thinking of you today @Sister as you grieve for your beloved sister xxx  I am sure that she has been watching over you as you go thru the same treatments and given you strength.  

    I never heard back back from the school re the photo, but my brother (in it) is going up next week and will see if he can get a copy from the archives!  I hope he can take a pic of it, if they find it!

    Take care, my friend

    Thank you everyone. It's a bit of a tricky day.

    Regards: the t-shirt...she also had a Great Gatsby (Redford & Farrow) and a Pancake Kitchen Lovely! one just to complete the blast from the past.

    Here ’tis!!   FINALLY ... my brother was up at his old school last week for a reunion and took a photo to the photo with him in it, taken back in 1963 and it ended up in the Women’s Weekly!

    @Sister

    He is the good looking one behind the boy with glasses. ;)   They used to sell thousands of bunches as a part of fundraising for the running of the school.  I think they still do it but don’t need to rely on the $$ so much these days.

    I was SO pleased to get a copy of it again @Sister ..... it was taken 55 years ago!!  

    If it hadn’t been for this thread, I may not have chased it down!  So Thank YOU for starting it!  ;) 

    ‘Somewhere’ in the family annals is the ‘original’ one .... but it was probably tossed when my stepmother died a few years back when her place was cleaned out. 

    That’s exactly what I said to Cam when he sent it to me, @kmakm. ;)
