Siun and Shane

News from Siun Carden who wants to give a plug for Stitch 'n' Bitch, where she is to be found knitting every Wednesday from about 4:30 in Starbucks in Castlecourt. She also learning to spin, with a view to becoming a proper spinster, and enjoying her PhD research on the Gaeltacht Quarter, even venturing back to the Donegal Gaeltacht which she hated so much when she was fourteen.



She met Shane Clendenning in a bar recently - he's just bought a house!

Lorna and Ria

Ran into Lorna Quinn, not long back from her travels: Thailand; New Zealand; Australia etc. She thinks maybe Edinburgh next. Ria tried banking, after her excellent degree in music, but went back to complete a Masters, and thinks maybe Edinburgh next too.

Andrea Looked After Me

I had a dental emergency the other day, and I felt very well cared for when Old Scholar Andrea Lambe appeared as the dental nurse to look after me. Her lovely calm manner is just perfect in the job, and it was great to see her again.

Sorry Reece

One day after misspelling you, I ran into uncle Chris, who put me right.

Finally recognised Ciara

Ciara Laverty called in and I absolutely failed to recognise her. She looks fantastic and so does baby Rees (apologies if I have misspelt you!). She is in the second year of her Management degree at Queens and doing well.

News from David Murray

Great to hear the David is doing well on his HNC in software engineering.

Kerri heads for Chicago

You remember Kerri Smyth, who used to be quiet? She has just bagged herself a place on a terrific placement in an insurance company in Chicago, having beaten off hundreds of other applicants to one of only six placements. It was really nice to get her message. Kerri is currently studying Actuarial Science at Queen's University Belfast.
