Reunion in South Africa
The Monk is off on an extended "pilgrimage" to the place he grew up and went to school. The occassion is the 40th anniversary of matriculation from one of South Africa's leading State Schools. Yup, the Monk is an Old Selbornian, and is constantly amazed at just where his classmates have ended up!
They are University Professors, teachers, accountants, company directors, a self-made millionaire, and a full house of doctors, nurses, engineers, clerks, shopkeepers, sportsmen, and those who have made their marks in other ways. One has made a name for himself in the realms of astrophysics studying Black Holes. Look up "Teucholsky" and "Black Holes"! He was Dux Ludorum of our year and so far ahead of the rest of us that the teachers just set him work and let him get on with it! It will be very interesting to see how we have all weathered as well; from the photos drifting through, some better than others.
Of course, this trip will mean limited access to a computer, so posting will be erratic and perhaps a little eclectic. I will trust Church Mouse to sort it out in my absence! Do bear with me; it will be an interesting journey - even though the past is, as one philospher has put, a "foreign country which can never be revisited!"
