If any of your class mates have died please invite their  parents or family to the mass.  Forward their names and year for the list which will be read out at mass. 

Some classes are meeting on the Friday night which is a great idea. Good thinking'. 

As with all re-unions most of us will have changed - 
got fatter, thinner, bald, changed hair colour, 
changed accents, maybe colour culture and style 
so we will err on the cool side - 
dress informal for dinner in case you are wondering'.
