Hello John,
Its good to give honour to whom honour is due
This is our foundation and the memory will forever linger with us
How i wish this issue had come up before the 30th anniversary that came up in
Jos,it would have been the best forum to honour them with gifts.Rightnow,except
there is something else that the school is organizing for we excommandoes to
play our own part ..................Am suggesting the speech and prize giving
day......that is, if it is still existing??
Inputs,Suggestions,ideas about paying them back for their years of
transforming us to what we are today.................its now an open floor for
all
Best regards

Indeed Ini, Mr Ishola was good and a very concerned
teacher / person at that.
I suggest some thank you gifts or honorary award be
pre-packaged for these wonderful set of humans that
have impacted our lives in no small measure. This can
be done as a presentation on our target dates.
Organizers what do you think?
Cheerio
John
