I had revisited the 2 valedictory events ie one of Jie’s and the other of Melissa’s.
May be we should make it a point to attend the next valedictory celebration. Now, what year would that be?
And Mummy, we will have a chance to show that we will not be doddering? is that a deal?

Also, i had a chance to realise my mistake and so can answer my own question about the years 1931-1933.
A quick calculation shows that the old priest was a young 15 to 17 years when he was an old boy of St. Kevin’s, not a young boy. How do you like the play of the words ‘old and young’.

Trust Mummy to object to it. She is fond of always taking all remarks to apply to herself.
Anyway, it is good to have a champion to speak up for the silent majority.
On another matter, you mentioned 1931 to 1933. Is there a mistake in the years?

Objection to the term “doddering”. Lots of Senior Citizens are way above 60 & they’re far from “doddering”.
