Paul,

I should probably recognise more people but the only one I know is Dave Hart. Are there any more Abramers on the photo?

Well I lived in Australia from 1973, but the company I worked for sent me to train Engineers in Africa for 3 years then I worked for a defence contractor and spent 2 years in Turkey on a defence project during the second Iraq war, now I have retired and living in Costa Rica and having a great time and been married to my wife Olga for just coming up to a year now, would love to catch up with some of you guys.
