Hi Paul,
Sorry I've taken a while reply.  Life has been a bit busy at work recently
and I'm going to have a hip replacement in a couple of weeks so I will be
off my feet for a while.  I'll have a bit more time then.  Off the top of my
head, Chris Penrose Stevens and Pete Minns are both Senior Submersible
Engineers with Global Marine Systems.  I haven't seen either of them for a
while but can get in touch.  I said hello to Debby Amos who was two years
below us.  She's on Friends Re-united.  I met Bobby Khan last year when she
came to us for an interview.  Also, I attended a weeding a few years back
where the reception involved a barn dance and Jim Trent was playing the
accordian!  Steve Rogers went to sea and the last I heard was living in the
states and married to an American.  That's about all I can think of at the
moment.  I've emailed your link out to our fleet because I know there are a
few ex-MNC people out there.  One Chris Sturgeon is a senior deck officer in
our fleet.

I spent 14 years at sea with Cable & Wireless Marine as a Cable
Engineer and am now office based, keeping the fleet going as senior cable
engineer.  Global Crossing bought us three years ago and we expanded our
fleet by 100% to cope with the work, so had great fun shopping!  Now that
Global Crossing are feeling the pinch they've decided to sell us but no
takers that we know of yet.  I'd be interested in some sort of re-union at
some stage but I don't think I'll be up to it until later next year.  It
would be fun to have one in the Greenhithe area.  Nice to see some photos of
the college.  I think I have some good ones somewhere which I will dig out
and get scanned. Anyway, I'll keep an eye on the site and send you some
photos in due course.
Best regards,
Dave
