Hi Everybody,

I'm sitting with my feet up by a pool at the Grand Hyatt in Bali, Indonesia sipping the juice from a freshly cut coconut and working on this website. The task is not onerous and it is being done in Island Time so expect publication of the site in about a fortnight.

Greetings All! 

I usually don't take much interest in Medical Council issues but I was delighted to see that our Classmate, Graham Sharpe MNZOM, is nominated for Council and I am hoping that with everyone's support we can get him 'across the line".  I work with Graham here in balmy sub-tropical Wellington; he is a great chap!  Brilliant anaesthetist, well informed, and as we all know tolerates poorly dishonest politicians and charlatans!

Go to the MCNZ website and vote- you need to do this before March 23.  Tell all of your colleagues to do likewise!

Looking forward to another great re-union next year!

See you tomorrow. Sharleen

Dear Richard, we discussed this briefly at the final session of the reunion and there was agreement there that if there was money left that that could support the web site. I personally feel that, profit allowing, we should reimburse you for the previous 5 years. However, I am a luddite and would need Rob or Mike back on board to action this so---- just a bit stuck at the moment. What date does the site expire? or whatever it does. Sharleen

Sharleen,  Kerry,  Rob, Mike,  Joanne, & others who helped to put the reunion together, and those who gave talks:  now safely home again,   a huge THANKYOU for a superb reunion!  It was great!  We thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend, it was great to catch up with those of you that we did , and look forward to catching up with even more at the next reunion.  Please pass on special wishes to Mike for a steady recovery,   and thanks to Marty for concluding the sessions with his wonderful and funny musical contribution.  Best wishes to you all   .

So this is where the messages go!

Just an update, made in the last stages of Covid 19 lockdown (April 2020). I took over operating the "Class of 79" web site from Richard Janus (who has done a great job setting this up). The profit from the class reunion last year has paid for 5 more years of web site subscription.

If you want anything altered, publicised, or communicated, just let me know. You can touch base via the "Contact the administrator" link on the main page, otherwise just email me at home:

Just wondering how we can make best use of this forum site. Would it be possible, for example, to host a conversation about retiring - how best to prepare, lesson learned, how to develop new interests etc. That way we could havbe an entertaining conversation, and also contribute to the general wealth of knowledge. Or at least fill in time before we cark!

What do you think.

Sounds like a good idea to use these pages to discuss this issue. My tuppence worth is that I changed countries so that I couldn't be asked back and then had a different job waiting for me when I got here ie looking after my elderly parents. So a change and then doing something different. I enjoyed no longer having to be worried about being sued and I did not miss being needed. Having no job I happily gave up being known as Dr Thornton. Good luck to those choosing to retire. I am now 6 years on. Deb

I think a retirement planning forum is an excellent idea.
