I have just been informed by both 56er HS Uberoi (Ubi) and 71er Rajiv Bhatia, current President of the Alumni Association, that there will be Memorial Service for the Late Col. Eric J. Simeon, former-Principal, on Thursday June 28th, 2007 commencing at 9:00 am sharp at St. Thomas' Cathedral, Mumbai.
Late Mr. G. Bose, former-Vice-Principal and the late Mr. J. Paulose former-Chemistry teacher will also be remembered at the service.
56er Dorreen (née Feibusch) Heimlich from North Carolina, USA, drew my attention to a nice article that appeared in The Times of India Mumbai's Rang de Basanti heroes which describes some dedicated social work done by some former students from the school.
MUMBAI: A doctor from a civic hospital describes them as the 'real Rang de Basanti heroes' and their school principal thinks society needs many more such youngsters.
But these six former students of Cathedral School, all from affluent backgrounds, simply want to do their bit for society. Tired of others blaming 'the system' for everything that goes wrong in the city, they put their heads together, loosened their purse-strings and decided to 'change the system'. ....(more)
I hope more students from our school will take up the cudgel to eliminate corruption from the system and bring India in line with the some developed nations of the world. If our school students cannot do it, no one else can!
Those who have been following my other blogs will know that I have been busy - even being a carpenter! But as I knew that most of you would be vacationing, I knew I would not be missed, MUCH!
Our vacation period is just starting and I am looking forward to 56er Sadhana (née Shah) Madhusadan arriving here in Oulu during the next 10 days.
Just for the record, tomorrow is Midsummer's Day with sunrise at 2 am and sunset at 1 am. Just 200 km north of here, in Rovaniemi, the sunrise and sunset will be at 1 am tomorow!
