Meeting an old friend, teacher and mentor.

After leaving St Gabriel's Primary School some 4 decades ago, meeting Mr Mark Ferroa at Perth was a much welcomed re-union. Having retired from teaching, he now live in Perth with his wife, Mary and son Brandon. Mark was my form teacher in Primary 6 and my Cadet Scout Master since Primary 2. Fondly known to us as "Bagheera" (Bagheera is the black panther who finds the orphaned baby Mowgli and brings him to Raksha.....but he is adamant to leave him back into the village amongst humans as he thinks Mowgli doesn't belong to the jungle..... characters from The Jungle Book). Had a good chat of the old times and had a wonderful cup of freshly brewed coffee with Aaron. We were also introduced to his attack CAT .... which I thought at first was a piece of rag on the floor. Rather hugh in size and extremely homely. Was told that he loves FOOD .... no points for not thinking so !!!. Well, one thing for sure, we are having SIMILAR HAIR STYLE, after all these years !!
