I still have past students contact me on FB. At a reunion a number of years ago I happily noted the number of my former pupils who not only had good jobs but many in management or equivalent roles. I am very proud of most of my ex-students but there were still some who continued the poor Camp reputation. Quote Selected Last Edit: February 27, 2019, 06:36:45 pm by chalkybill
