David Farrell: What a fantastic idea. My God! has it been 21 years? I will definitely make the trip over for this, I barely recognise myself, let alone anyone else!

I've been working as an Architect in London for 17 years. I have been married to my wife Lucy for 10 years, have twin boys, Luke and Aidan aged 3 AND have another set of twins arriving in August. Who says lightning doesn't strike twice.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone in May.

Regards [Feb 2006]

Fiona Keane: After I left school, I did a secretarial course in Haddington Road . I worked for several companies before my marriage to Ken in 1991. We have three children, Leanne (14), Kevin (12) and Jill (8). I've only really kept in touch with Sandy O'Driscoll who was a bridesmaid at our wedding!

In 1996, we moved to Inis Mór where we lived for four years. While out there I had a spinal fusion done, which took me permanently out of the work force, and made me a full time mum, which I love.

In 2000 we moved to Athenry, where we now live. I love the west of Ireland . I attended the reunion in May which was fabulous - WHY weren't the rest of you there?  I can't wait ‘til the next one, and will help out with phone calls etc.

We had hoped to move back to Dublin this year, but it was not to be.

Keep up the good work, everyone, love to hear from anyone who would like to get in touch!! [Sept. ‘06]

Brian Kelly: I must say I was quite glad to see that there were no photos of me here as I looked back then -- and then I saw me! Oh well.

When I left St Laurence's in '85 I spent a year in Dun Laoghaire College of Art before realising that a life of drawing straight lines was not for me and headed off to New York to study audio production.

Upon returning to Ireland I initially worked as a live sound engineer (among other jobs), before establishing my own recording studio One Lazy Ear in 1996. After 6 years of producing music in a basement with no natural daylight, I moved to Barcelona to top-up on some much need natural vitamin D. I then spent some time the UK undertaking a Masters in Post Production for films. Since then I have been living in London where I have worked for the BBC and The Discovery Channel. I am now the Creative Director for a music consulting company based in central London .

I am still in touch with a couple of people from my class and hopefully I will be able to make the next class reunion.

I'd like to pay my respects to one particularly inspirational teacher, Gerry Murtagh. [March ‘08]

Fergal Kelly: After leaving St Laurence’s I went to Trinity and got a degree in Engineering.  I moved to England (got a masters) and was working in mobile communications (that little phone in your pocket).  I later moved to California, Italy and Spain and finally back to Dublin .  Or finally I thought, as two years ago I had the opportunity to move back to Spain and so now I live between Madrid (the office) and San Pedro de Alcantara (the beach).  I am married to Susan and we have two boys. 

I am delighted to see the updates on-line and to read of the successes of my many dear friends!  Well done to Bro. Jim for the effort!!! [May ‘06]

Bernard McGuinness: while working and being bored at the time, I put my name into Google and there it was and here we are. I think it`s a great idea. It brought back a lot of memories for me, good and bad. It`s true, when you get older you get wiser.

I am married and living for the past 17 years in Basel, Switzerland. My wife, Astrid, is Swiss and I have three sons: Benjamin is 16 years old, Julien is 13 years old and the smallest , Luke is 6 years old.

I work for a Swiss facade building company. I sit 8 hours each day behind my computer, programming machines. My most notable piece of work to date, is the Swiss re tower(gerkhin) in London. The saddest part is, that Gary Madden and Bernard Masterson are no longer with us. I never saw them again since the schooldays.

I will keep in touch with the board and hope others will get in contact.

P.S. It`s not often that I get the chance to speak in English and I have lost a lot of spellings. So if you see a false spelling , sorry. I speak here only German. [Jan 2006]

Colin Swan: This web site is a great idea, it really is strange to read the names and remember faces of our class.

After school I went to the College of Marketing and then onto DCU for a Business Degree. Since DCU I went to Australia for a year and then to San Francisco and Boston . I am currently in San Francisco with Jodie my Canadian wife.

Two other class mates live in the bay area that I know of, Paul Turner and recently Ronan McNamara. We all work for software companies. Prior to working with software companies I ran a marketing and sales company for Investment Managers.

Jim and the Brothers are doing a great job. I read St. Laurence was ranked #2 in Ireland , nice job and congratulations.

I heard about a reunion but can’t make it over. I keep in contact with some people from my class but would like to keep in contact with more.

All the best. [May ‘06]
