HAIL, SEEK and SAVE WESTERFORD

Thanks KEN - for reminding us where are roots are. yes. The roots of the old chestnut tree.... Hail Westerfordians indeed.

Please help me. The roots are starting to stangle me. And god forbid we acidentally forget to invite someone. Someone, anyone who actually wants to put money in our bank account. Two people have already tracked me down asking why they haven't received a treemail...

so I ask, i beg and I stand proudly aside DR Gibbon on stage and ask you to do a devotion (or anything that else that creates a shudder) please extend roots, leaves, branches and any other parts of your tree. and help us SEEK and SAVE the lost ones.

Please don't let me suffer in silence.(or let the tree die) I know that I have dug my own grave, but this is when friends really pull together. Isn't it? Isn't this, our friendships that have blossomed over all these years, the product of just that. SCHOOL. mmmm. Think I need to go water my plants. and do some weeding. Jou ma se tree

Nil nisi optimum? I have forgotten what it means.. Higher and Higher/ or was that maybe Greenfield Girls? something about a Lark flying high in the sky.. more green and more nature. mmm.

Hail to you all. Thanks Ken.

And the prize for the most tree related puns and metaphors goes to...

Nil nisi optimum = nothing nothing nothing but the best.

I still have contact with one or two of the truants, so i'll give them a nudge.

evan castle went to the jew school in standard 8, so he doesn't qualify.

Please could someone in Cape Town buy Hels a drink and tell here that it will all be fine. Hels it will all be fine. You are doing a great job! And if anyone is left out it is there own bloody fault for not keeping in contact with someone. And realising that they matriculated 10 years ago and that someone organised will be planning a reunion. Please how bright to you have to be. Good luck and go get drunk!
