Reunion dinners and strange memories...........

It really doesn't matter where the dinner is ..............

A group of 40 year old Telopeans discuss where they should meet for their reunion dinner. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the National Press Club in Barton because the waitresses there wear low cut blouses.

10 years later, at 50 years of age, the group again discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the National Press Club in Barton because the food there is very good and the wine selection is good also.

10 years later at 60 years of age, the group again decides to discuss where they should meet. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the National Press Club in Barton because they can eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant is smoke free.

10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group again discusses where they should meet for reunion dinner. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the National Press Club in Barton because the restaurant is wheel chair accessible.

10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group again discusses where they should meet. Finally it is agreed upon that they should meet at the National Press Club in Barton because they have never been there before.




Was my memory playing tricks on me? 

While sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist in Manuka, I noticed his degree, which bore his full name. 


Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class almost 50 years ago. Could he be the same young man that I had a secret crush on, way back then? 


Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This grey-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate.


After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Telopea Park High.



"Yes,Yes, I did " he gleamed with pride. 



"When did you graduate?" I asked. 


"In 1962. Why do you ask?" 



"You were in my class!" 


He looked at me closely. Then asked .....................


"What did you teach?"
