1972 Graduation
Ann, Eileen, Jimmi, Linda & Margaret Here we are in 1972 - five graduates of Dunfermline College of Physical Education, Edinburgh. We all met up in the first week at college in 1969, shared a flat in our final year and have remained friends ever since. Talk of travelling the world was common but teaching, marriage and babies soon put a stop to that!
Over the past 40 years we have only managed to all get together twice - in 1979 and again in 2002.
Now we have all retired, apart from Linda who still teaches part-time,
our time has come and we have planned a 40th reunion in South Africa where Jimmi has lived for the past 38 years.
Margaret, Eileen & Ann are going to take 8 weeks out to travel the world to meet up in South Africa for the last two weeks. Linda is going to join us for our final week in South Africa.
Our trip starts on 21st September 2012 and takes us to Toronto, across Canada by train to Vancouver, then to San Francisco, Los Angeles to Sydney, a cruise around the top of Australia down to Perth, then to Johannsburg, Cape Town and Kruger National Park before flying home to the UK on 15th November.
Follow our progress as we go round the world meeting up with some other Dumfers on the way!
