My Last Post - Number 1414

Well here it is, my last post on nsbhs1973.com. It appeals to my strange sense of patterns that it is number 1414, a nice looking number.  There is a sense of nostalgia about de-commissioning this site as it has been a catalyst of helping keep our class connected.

The first post was on the 25th February 2013 and the website was orginally created to help locate classmates and have a record of email and phone numbers for the 40th reunion.

With the overwhelming support of all attendees at the 40th re-union it was decided to keep the website going rather than shut it down until the 50th re-union.

There was some activity around organizing the 45th re-union but not much happened on the website except the occasional notification of the sad passing of classmates or teachers and the kind tribute memories that were often followed.

I think the Conversation series in Covid days in 2020 became the catalyst for the website becoming so much more than an event planner for re-unions.  The stories we learnt through conversations of the lives of 13 classmates was profoundly interesting.  It highlighted the highs and lows that our classmates experienced through life and brought out how little we knew of each other.  It also highlighted I think what a nice bunch of old blokes we had become.  

In a good way the website helped us "stay connected' and help arrange not only reunions but bushwalks, weekends away, annual lunches, coffee with each other whether it was down the road or across continents. 

From a personal point of view I have not only been able to re-kindle old school friendships but form strong and lasting friendships with school mates that hardly had any interaction with at school.  To this extent our website has been a wonderful success

When Bill Lyons first suggested leaving a legacy for the Class of 2023, this morphed into lets leave a legacy for the entire generation of NSBHS students and teachers.

It has always been and honour and a pleasure to play a part in keeping us connected so I look forward to not only keeping this happening for NSBHS1973 but also for all falconians.

So, Keith Longworth signing out and I will see you all on the next part of the journey together on oldfalconians.com.au
