Blairgowrie High School - Class of 1985

Blairgowrie High School - South Africa 1985

Hi Fellow Classmates !,

I found the old photo of the '85 class and had an idea of publishing it on the web. If you attended the school in this year, please sign the guestbook and tell us a little about yourself.

It should be fun to hear what has happened over the years. I hope we are still all alive and well.

Click on the pictures to enlarge. We have only a few names left, please help me with them.

A short bit about me - Cathal O'Donnell

I went to the army, and then worked in JHB in IT for around 6 years. After being mugged for the 2nd time in a year, I decided I'd rather live anywhere than SA. I guess it didn't help I was living in Berea.

I then worked for 3 years in London, which was okay, but then jumped at the opportunity to go back to my birthplace Ireland. I met my wife after 6 months in Ireland in a local pub and we have been together for 13 years now. We recently got married 6 years ago and now have a bouncing baby girl called Emer and a young lad called Peter.

We have been blessed with a healthy family and life is fullfilling & fun !
