August 12, 2001 - Congrat's on the site 'Big-bird', it was nice to see the guys pix after all the years. I had a chuckle at all the grey hair in the '96 group until I took a look in the mirror! Must be the beer. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend because of work committments o'seas at that time, but I'd like to have met all the guys again, so please pass on my best regards to all, and I hope it's a hell of a re-union. We've all been pretty lucky I guess, and there are many fond memories. If anyone knows where that reprobate Terry Flanagan is send me a mail will you. Cheers.

August 6, 2001 - Hey ! Big Foot ,
 
Just 6 weeks and 3 days to go !!!
Have you heard from anybody ??
To assit you in updating your Web news , Barry Woolf is no longer @ Deception Bay ( no reply) , his brother Rod lives in the Isa , so someone should be able to track him down.
 
Does anyone know where is Karl Schauble ???
 
Mike Flynn has a wedding on the same nite , so he will catch up with us on the sunday on the Strand.
 
You can add Barry Fenton (visitor) to the list of who's attending.
 
Steve Elliott reckons it's too far to drive from Brandon (?) , so take him off the list . Denis Fontaine is not sure , because he has a new job @ the Coalfields , & his roster may clash with Sept. 22/23 ??? He will let me know for sure when he finds out his new schedule .
 
Mad Gibbo still hasn't let me know if he's coming - I have tried to ring him @ home , work , pub , etc.,- can't find the b@#$%!*. So take him off the list for the time being.
 
I've had no reply / call / fax / e-mail or the like from Reggie Dennis , Lindsay Bishop , Gary Deihm , Lee Cornwall , Mark "Curpy" Hansen, Dave Jordan , John Kapitske , Hannu Kontinnen , Bob Morrison, John Rogers , Bob Popell Danny Tremlett & Calver Wilson. - I will give them one more mail-out & if no reply by end of August - then we'll start without them.
