    I like that one better also !

    Hey Johnboy, I live in Texas and I have unlimited long distance phone calling so if you would like for me to make a call for you and ask you particular questions, then I would be happy to. Just PM me with a list of things you would like to know and I will try to find them out for you. Sometimes calling is much better than emailing IMHO.

    Just let me know if I can help - - OK?

    That, Sir, is an extremely generous offer to a complete stranger.
    If I may I will take you up on that.
    I have clicked onto the sites that have beeen posted, (thanks for that too!) but they won't allow me access to their archives; and even if I could get into their archives, it would only verify that that was the school these 'kids' attended.
    That would be a step forward; but what I'd really like is to make contact with some of the pupils involved and get their stories regarding this particular bus...which is about to start a new life on the other side of the world.
    Expect a PM from me.
    And thank-you very much for your offer to help.

    Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.
    I don't know everything about anything, and I don't know anything about lots of things.

    May have something to offer too. A lot of people still live in the town they grew up in. You could also look up graduating class and reunions.

    Good point and I plan on asking if they have an Alumni Assoc or something like that. This should be fun and "hopefully" productive but time will tell.

    Doh!
    I should have thought of that!
    I'll start doing that right now.
    Thanks.
