Dear Fellow Past Pupils,
We were delighted to welcome Fr. Peter Hackett SJ, who is now at Corpus Christi Church. He was able to meet up with several old friends. His brother, Fr. Paul Hackett, SJ is a Parish Priest in Scotland and the youngest brother; Fr. Mark Hackett SJ is a missionary in Zimbabwe.
Father Mark always keeps in contact with Jimmy and Jane O'Brien (Thurgood) and several of us were able to talk with him in August 2000, when he was in Corpus Christi Parish for a while.
Glenn Edgeley-Long was also present at the Reunion; although Glenn's children were not Convent Past Pupils all 6 of them were at St Peter's School; 4 girls and 2 boys.
We received apologies from several people. Betty Savory was very involved in a Churches Together afternoon. However we were not forgotten as Betty brought along a selection of her mouth-watering cakes for us. Several people would like your recipes for the chocolate and coffee cakes please Betty. Pam Brigden (Butler) was unable to attend as her husband was unwell; we hope that Malcolm is improving, Pam.
Joanna Crane (Bialobrzeska) was also caring for her husband who had suffered a heart attack. We pray that he is making good progress, Joanna. Gladys Archer telephoned Jean from London, she is gradually getting used to life on her own, after the death of her husband, and is always glad to speak to friends.
Renza Cradduck keeps in touch with her. Gladys sends her best wishes to everyone, unfortunately she was unable to get to the Reunion.

Sisters Kathleen Garrod and Rosa Cronin had previous commitments so were not able to come from London.
Deirdre Foster (Crick), Daphne Tavender (Hopgood), Margaret Moules (Philpot), Margaret Jaques (Mason), Pat Daniels (Perkins), Anne- Marie Butement and Lesley Johns all sent apologies.
Yvonne Penn (Thiollier), was sorry not to get down but it coincided with her grandson's wedding, we are sure that you had a happy day.
There was a 'phone call from Jane O'Brien (Thurgood) in the morning; she had received one from Genevieve Basto, (Bond). Genevieve had travelled down to Sussex to bring her oldest sister Anne Worby (Bond) to the Reunion; unfortunately someone drove into the back of the car at a roundabout, in the Chichester area, amazingly neither Genevieve nor Anne was hurt but the car was not usable. It was to have been the first Reunion that Anne had been able to attend, she was very disappointed.
We hope that there have been no delayed reactions and that we will see them next year. Jane herself was not well enough to come that day.
