OBs in Canada
I have recently had a message from an OB in Canada, referring to Miss Goodrich, a geography teacher at Hertford in the 1940s.
Audrey referred to an OB lunch she attended recently (only 3 female obs there). The speaker was an OB at Horsham from 1940 when he was 9, until 1947 and became a chartred surveyor. He is now 78 and looks 10 years younger.
How about a few pms to get Audrey and fellow OBs on the forum?

I know OBs who "lurk" but they seem reluctant to post for some reason.midget wrote:I have recently had a message from an OB in Canada, referring to Miss Goodrich, a geography teacher at Hertford in the 1940s.

Were you at the recent OB lunch?

I'm in Canada. Just so you know. I have been known to post here from time to time.

No, I wasn't... Where was it? I'm in Edmonton, and have no connections with Canadian OBs...

It's a big country

Re: OBs in Canada
Yes it's very big... it takes 5 or 6 hours just to drive to the states from here, let alone across Canada

Re: OBs in Canada
I don't think people who have never lived in a big country (US for me) can quite appreciate HOW BIG it is. I am not pointing fingers here, just making an observation. A few weeks ago my son was working in Pembrokeshire and my husband and I between us made 3 trips down and back in a day (not in one day, a day for each trip) 500 miles there and back. But in the US and similarly large countries you might do that for an evening out.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, Kingston, Ontario.99yorkpj wrote:No, I wasn't... Where was it? I'm in Edmonton, and have no connections with Canadian OBs...
Much closer to me than to you, but still not somewhere I could get to for a Saturday lunch without getting up stupidly early.
