Greetings all,

This is my second attempt at producing  "The Mitre" and I trust that it meets with your approval.  The Spring Edition brought forth favorable comments for which my heartiest thanks but there were  some who thought that there were too many "filler" items for which I can only plead "lack of copy"

There is nothing I would like more than to be able to fill each and every page of this august journal with the ramblings, reminiscences and recollections of revered Old Michaelians, but YOU are those revered OM's and YOU are the ones with the  anecdotes and memories, photographs and mental  pictures of an important part of the early life of each and every one of us, be they happy thoughts  or otherwise.

Bob in his letter at the front end of this Magazine has said that he considers it  incumbent on all of us to put "pen to paper" or perhaps  these days "fingers to keyboards" and share those   recollections, believe me it is cathartic and FUN.

You will have seen or may even have completed the crossword on page 10. When you send it to me, YOU ARE GOING TO SEND IT, AREN'T YOU?  enclose a few lines for publication, you would be amazed at the interest that  all OM.s have in the current and past life  of their  peers, their  whereabouts,  occupations and hobbies. Send a current photograph of yourself or any St. Michael's  pictures you may have for inclusion in next year's Spring Edition, these can be scanned and returned to you if you wish.  but why not COME TO THE REUNION AND BRING THEM WITH YOU.  Much merriment and mirth  materialises over the weekend and you would, methinks,  enjoy it.

But enough  from me.  OVER TO YOU!!!!!

Martin
