Syntax 80

For those of you that read this site and have keen eyes then you may well have spotted a comment added to my April Success message. That comment effectively adds another success to the ever growing list and May brings you:

Well after my post back on March 10th I have now had another contact from Jim Bird / Ricardo Matesantz.

Anyway, the latest contact from him makes things no clearer – it’s almost as if he wants to host a reunion but he won’t answer any of my questions … he syas his son uses ‘Jim Bird’ as a name but it’s strange how JB has the same years at MSM as Ricardo. Which strangely enough has him leaving in 1981 – when I clearly recall him being expelled prior to the end of Syntax 80!

Or did the school let him back but not me? <grin>

Here’s his latest correspondence. I’ll mark him down as contacted but no guarantees of anything else!

Must have been using my sons e mail …he use Jim Bird as his name.Hows the roundup going .Get any more of the gang together? Also.Where do you think you are going with this?So we all meet up for a party here in Colombia .Sure I can show you guys a good time here.I got a big villa and lots of women and party all the days.So sure you guys will have the time of your life .Let me know soon Hey I reckon about July .How does this suit you?
Get back to me soon.

Apologies but I’ve been tardy with this update due to problems accessing my computer – not technical ones, but physical with me being in agony due to back / leg pain.

Anyway, have been contacted by the wife of one of the remaining ‘missing’ old boys and so I bring you:

• Philip Embley

His wife assures me he’s alive and well and will get in touch directly in due course.
