Few of our big
lunches have been as eagerly anticipated, or approached with such apprehensive expectancy,
as this landmark meal. It was more than a nourishing and enjoyable culinary
experience, it was a sign that life might be reasserting itself to the way we
had enjoyed it in the previous decades of our existence. It was almost exactly two years since our
last encounter with each other in the jovial conviviality that characterises
our association’s events. But the first
item on our agenda – which only had two items on it – was to mark solemnly the
passing of many of our number as our president read their names to a quietened
room.
Item two was
simply a good meal and much bonhomie amongst friends we had known, in many
cases, since childhood. The OFA
lives!
