OK, this is my first experience with blogging, other than reading other people's blogs. If we do all our catching up this way, what are we going to do at the reunion. I was wondering if we should have something prepared to share at the reunion, or are we too many to go around and hear from each one?

This is interesting

Just wanted to let all know that I'm finding this Blog stuff interesting. Linda, my wife says it's ok if you have time for it. And I can see why. There's so much you can do with it. So I may be enjoying others more than contrubuting from here.
More later.

Allan & Barbara Nicholls

Barbara and I were married in 1972, and we have 3 children - Veronica, Simon & Christopher

Veronica married Kingsley Box and they are missionaries in Slovenia and have 4 children -Zac 8 years, Sam 6 years, Tim 3 years and Sophia 8 months

Simon is married to Stefanie and they have two boys - Liam 3 years, and James 1 year. Simon works as Mechanical engineer

When I have more time I will tell you about, and send pictures of my sister Barbara and family. I am in the lighting business. I've mainly been in sales all my working life, and we have been in our own business' for a number of years. They have not always been successful, but God has looked after us, and we are very blessed with our children and grandchildren. We lived in Melbourne after we were married, spent 2 years in New Zealand, and lived in country Victoria for a while. We moved to Sydney in 1994, where we live today.
