REUNION of the LC Classes of 1979 and 1980
Reunion of Classes of LC1979 and LC1980
Many thanks to David, Ned, Aidan and Roderick who organised an excellent evening of chat, reminiscence and laughter for students from the classes of LC1979 and LC1980.
The evening opened in CBS at 6.30pm on 14th April 2018. After initial greetings, surprise and reintroductions were out of the way, Fr Roderick Whearty led a thoughtful reflection on the value of friendship, camaraderie and memories and included some past classmates by name - sadly some of whom have died in the intervening years.
Former longstanding Chairman of the Board of Management, Matt Breen, warmly welcomed the gathered men and brought them up to date with the latest developments for CBS Kilkenny and its relocation to a green field site.
This was followed by a tour of the school and many funny stories of their history therein. It turns out the Galvin brothers' father had donated the periodic table poster to one of the science labs. He had access to them through his job at the Smithwicks brewery. Since the donation seven new elements have been recorderd and added to the modern table!
After old photos were inspected and analysed, the attendees retired to Langton's to continue their night.
Again, sincere thanks to David, Ned, Aidan and Roderick for bringing these former students together once again.
