POSTSCRIPT Pt. III : IN THE FAMILY WAY

There were 91 of us back in '70. Most of us got married and got into the family way.

According to a census of the children that were declared in the questionnaire that was circulated at the time of our 25th reunion in '95, the 91 of us produced 171 children: 88 sons and 83 daughters. The only child I know of who was produced since '95 was Mike McComb's son, Guy, who I have nevertheless included in the '95 tally but the figure as at 2010 may be even higher! Not a bad score at all. It's interesting that the split between sons & daughters is almost 50/50 but as far as I know, no son of a member of the Class of '70 married the daughter of a member of the Class of '70 and it seems as if the closest link by marriage between us is that Chris Bradfield and John Hunter are brothers-in-law (Chris married John's sister, Jean).

And here are some family pics as posted on the blogsite:


The McConnachies: Jock, Kary, Kathryn & Christopher with dog, Molly.


The De Zeeuws: Mick & Janice, with daughters Ashley (of the Radio City Rockettes) an Brittani. The De Zeeuws live on a golf course in Eustis, Florida, just north of Orlando.


This photo came from Simon Curran with an email reading: "Hi Jock, here is the photo of Jean's and my family after our wedding on Saturday, 9 October. I am claiming to be the most recently married member of the 1970! Both Jean and I lost our spouses to cancer within a few months of each other in 2007/2008. Regards, Simon."


The Carlson family: Peter, Mark, Wendy and Katy (the talented designer of our blogsite)


And here we have a photo of the Aschmann siblings: Cheryl, John, Mike & Linda, taken on the occasion of their mother's 80th birthday


Meet the West family: Keith, Erleen (Durrheim) and children, Granville & Lara. They've spent many happy years living in Summerstrand, PE where Keith & Erleen run their own hardware business
