People like myself were one of the last few from ESS in the class of 1957 who left Kenya in 1986 for the U.S.A. I had great opportunities to excel in my careers both in Kenya and here in the U.S.A. When in Kenya, I was working with the Kenya Government rising from a position of a Clerk to the Head of the Audit Department in the Ministry of Local Government. I retired in 1978, under Africanisation and later worked with the MP Shah Hospital as a Financial Controller. In the U.S.A. I worked with a non-profit organization and later with the Investment Banking firm. I retired nearly three years ago.

I recall Varinder who was my neighbour in Pangani, and Nisar who also lived off Baridi Road somewhere. Fifty years ago we moved from the Race Course Secondary School to the ESS. A lot of memories go with that period, unfortunately, such memories have faded with the time.

I can only wish you every success in your endeavours to host the re-union. I regret I will not be able to join you October 29 and send you my current photo, though I am quite conspicuous in the picture of the Dramatic Society. I look no way near that now, except I could pick Jagjit from miles away!
