CH friends? Well, here am I approaching a Big Birthday and around one quarter of the people who are expecting to be at The Party are those with whom I spent my teenage years at Hertford. This includes the person who I feel to be my best friend of all time - we met when we were nine years old, in 1957. I have no explanation for the bonds which CH engenders except to say that they do seem to be special and unusual.
Another quarter of the guests at my party will be past and present work colleagues (I have worked in the same place for 28 years) and to a person they are bemused that I still have friends with whom I went to school. None of them have kept up with even one of their school 'friends', let alone several.

I'm kind of hoping that I am going to be one of the guests at Kerren's party and we met through CH, even though there are some years between us!kerrensimmonds wrote:CH friends?

Some of you may not know that Kerren was a stalwart of CHOGA and was instrumental in getting my daughter presented as the Old Girls' Presentee.
And on the subject of CH friendships, one of my other firm diary dates for next year is the wedding of one of the girls I started with back in 1976, and who is still one of my best friends!

Yay Caron.. you (and Georgia, if they will let her get away!) are on the list for March 1st.
But as far as the CHA goes, I have this weekend asked that my name be taken off all datatbases, lists, etc. I no longer wish to be associated with the current regime in any shape or form. The one thing which remains to me is my personal friendship links - which I know are strong and which will over-ride current CH politics.
