Hurrah For Our Home In The Mountains

Well,

Our Middle East chapter seems to be off the ground and if the initial response is anything to by then we are looking at a big successful reunion ahead.

And why not!

"Don't look so sad Samir, we'll get you another beer, but why am i drinking lemonade?"

Apart from the stalwarts like Mr. Wilson and Mr. Chogyal we also have Samir Sharma with us. Many of you already know him as one of the main brains behind the Darjeeling Carnival. If the success of the carnival is any indication then we are all in safe hands here too. Samir is currently crazy busy with the upcoming bride show but is still taking time out for this. Thanks a Ton from all of us.

We have also received some mails from other alumni and here is a selection of what they had to say.

But before that we also have a message from Mr. Wilson.

"...by the way, Mrs. Wilson has asked me to thank you all for your words of appreciation on the site and says North Pointers are always welcome at the Wilson home for a good tuck in!!"

Amen to that. :-)

Hi,

I commend you guys for opening a NP Alumni Chapter in the Middle East. You guys are rich so there should be no trouble. Meantime I am proactive as the leader in the Canada Chapter. This coming 19-25 July there will be an historic event where we will commend and recognize the Canadian Jesuit fathers for the dedicated and effective education they provided to us who are settled across the world in success. There will be a formal dinner on the19th where we will gracefully pass a commemorative recognition plague to Rev Fr Gerard van Wallengham that will go to the North Point Awards Parlour for eternal memory. Please seriously consider coming to this event to raise the Middle East voice and to make history. I really await your serious consideration. There will be tour activities to Niagara Falls, French Montreal and the national capital, Ottawa. Most important, we will be together from Australia, Hong Kong, England, USA to name a few. I seriously await your full participation to launch your chapter. Sursum Corda Loyally and as a North point brother,

Roman Mukerjee (1950-62)
