If anyone remembers me, I would like to hear from you.  I'm old and decrepid and nearly 70.

Hi Beatle,

Of course I remember you, and so will a lot more of the old C Coy.

You were the first Greenjacket I met, on the way down from Singapore to Kuching on the SS Aubi. You lost your gat!

Its good to know that you are still alive and kicking, were are you hiding out these days?

I think we are all getting a bit old and decrepit these days, so you are not on your own there. Anyway, might see you at a re-union, and I'd still know those specs anywhere.

Good to hear you are alive and kicking Mick. You really must make a serious effort to get to the Reunion this year. Loads of your old mates will be there.

Whereabouts are you living at present? It may be possible to team up with someone for the trip there and back.

Take care mate and I will look forward to seeing you if you can manage to get to Winchester.
