Welcome to "Josephians of the Seventies"

WELCOME to this new blog. As the name suggests, this blog is for all former Josephians of the 1970s (and their friends). So if you attended St Joseph's Secondary School, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia any time between 1970 and 1979, you should find the content of this blog relevant to you (I hope). Although the years may have been slightly different, during that decade I reckon we went through some common and enriching experiences at our alma mater.

This blog evolved from another blog "St Joe - Form 5 in 1976", which I created almost two years ago, and which has been quite successful reconnecting the boy who were in the three classes of Form 5, 1976. We have had a lot of fun updating each other, commenting on various topics of mutual interest, reminiscing on those good ol' days when we were teenagers and generally engaging in good natured banter. The blog also made possible a Grand Reunion on 23 Dec 2009 at Merdeka Palace, Kuching where almost seventy old boys and ten former teachers turned up for a memorable night. More recently the cohort also gave something back to the school. For those interested, check out the postings of that blog by clicking THIS and feel free to add your comments.

Well, how this blog develops will depend largely on you. What do you want to see? What memories, photos and articles will you contribute? What comments will you make? I will do my best to post most of the content you submit to me (subject to some edits, if they don't meet normal guidelines of decency in language and image). My email contact is jslyong@hotmail.com.

So I hope you'll start by telling all the Josephians of the 70s that you know about this blog, and encourage them to come by, contribute and comment. With that, Sons of St Joseph's, let the fun begin ....
