May 17, 2009: STGC & ALPHA Classes of 1959 to celebrate 50 years at Reunion in Kingston
The StGC Class of 1959 will be having a reunion in Jamaica later this month, and are teaming up with the Alpha 1959 graduates for the celebrations. Many Georgians from the fifties and sixties would know these guys. Anyone can attend some of the events to renew acquaintances, which will be especially delightful in the case of a number of them who now live abroad and are coming home to celebrate. Specially recommended is the Saturday night session with Bunny Goodison's disco. In addition to vintage music at that session, they are hoping to have a peanut vendor with his coal oven, an oyster vendor, a snowball vendor etc.Further information is available on their web site at stgc59.askaccessible.com
