An e-mail from Greg Fretten
Stephen
Just letting you know I am still alive and kicking, apart from all the usual aches, pains and prosthetics.
Like the rest of the year I have joined the fraternity of grandparent hood. 2 boys. A 2 year old and a 3 week old whose mother is my daughter Alicia. Her surname is Jackson and I think you may have taught with her father in law Lee Jackson. I can only hope my son does not have any children. I do not think he will ever be mature enough.
I am still teaching casually, emphasis on casually, as it appears grand children are more expensive than children.
We have down sized now and have slightly different address details, which are the following.
8/20 Marine Pde
Miami, Qld 4220
(0417) 409 033
I will endeavour to make it down for the next reunion. It would be especially good to see that decrepit old bastard Rooster, who has had one more knee replacement than me.
I hope everyone is of fine fetal and enjoying life.
With meandering mind and rum in hand.
Regards
Greg Fretten

Comment by SDG:
I'm guessing 'fetal' is Greg's pun on 'fettle' and refers to the tendency of our kids to reproduce and make us into grandfathers, which surely is something we never expected to be.
