Hi All I have been searching for old school friends all week and found out about this website from another old "Grover". It made my day! I often wonder where everyone is and what they are up to? I was a Grover between 77 and 80 (roughly) - though I did go back once when I was 19 in 81, engaged to be married! A fella asked me to dance for the slow set - and knowing what bravery it took for a fella to ask a girl to dance, I got up with him ( I had three brothers who were shattered by refusals too many times so made it a rule never to say "no")...but your man was horrified to discover I was engaged and walked off without a word and left me standing! So much for being "nice" - It was only a dance after all! Anyway, I am now 24 years married with two grown up kids, 22 and 23, living in Perth, Western Australia. I lecture at a college and have a private practice as a musculoskeletal therapist. What is anyone else doing? Carol |

Welcome Caroloz There was a topic similar to this one posted by Floydman a few months back. 'Faraways check in here' I have brought it up again so you can read all about us faraways and the other Faraways that live in the very north of county Dublin enjoy the site |

This is GREAT! Who else is in Perth from the Grove? I found this site 24 hours ago and already found 3! Love it! Teresa - Perth is one of the worlds best kept secrets. The only thing it doesn't have is the Grove!...but looks like it has the makings of a Grove reunion! |

Yes there is Irish Mammy, Freebird and Donal and now yourself. Rolo is heading your way to see some friends from Ireland who moved over there! You all need to meet up and have a little Grove reunion. I would love to visit Aussie - my niece lives in Melbourne. |

Mammy mentioned having a get together when Rolo comes over. I'd be in that! I'm sure Donal would be if he is not away at work. When is Rolo coming over?

Only got the 3 kids but also got 5 chooks, a parrot and a cat so don't know if they count?? The noise and mess that the 3 of them make there might as well be 12 of them here.

around Easter Sunday 2009 which i'm reliably informed falls on 12th April that year... (thanks Blondie!) so if you could hang on till then guys that'd be great .......... 
.
. Since it was Donal who told me about the website I am sure I'd be invited anyway!
