The sound of "Happy Birthday" being sung loudly filled the air at the Telematics Centre on Wednesday 25 February 2009 as friends of George Pape wished him all the best for his 70th birthday.  Actually, his birthday was not until the Thursday 26 February 2009 but Wednesday Drop In class was a lovely opportunity to present George with the card made for him by Helen and signed by all his friends and classmates.

 Talking of Helen Cadwallader...  That empty seat should have been filled by Helen (who made the card for George) but unfortunately Helen could not be with us on this ocassion.  Sounds just like the Oscars!

Seen with George are (back row, left to right) Peter Murphy, Mike Burrows, Barbara Rudd, and Brian Connolly.  On the front row (left to right) are Peter McKenna, George Pape, and Mary Phipps.
