Hello to Dimitri

From Sally Conway (nee Price)

Hello to Dimitri who worked at the Post Office Exchange some 25 years ago. Still think about the days spent working and enjoying the Island. It has changed beyond recognition - what a shame. Sally.

Do any of you remember a few of these names? Nick Henderson from NZ, Derek Walker from South Africa,Graham Borthwick and tall Lyndsay from Glasgow. Cant remember the years i was there, 18-30s were using the place. It was the year of the heatwave when all the people were dying in Athens. Denzil was as grumpy as ever running one of Takis cleaning gangs and Robbo ran ours. We all lived in the staff villa up behind the office. I swam from Spetses to Costa and back to raise money for some disabled kids who used to visit the island. We (workers) used to drink at a bar out of town, past the college, where two guys (english) used to play the guitar and sing. We had a head boy and a head girl, we did a 3 legged pub crawl, 1 male and 1 female and you had to go to the toilet together!! I used to have some photos but lost them. We also used to drink in the roof bar of Takis hotel. The one that wasnt over 3 storeys high. The one that caught fire i just remember. An English couple sailed in an old trawler to Spetses with their two kids. It sank as soon as it arrived in the old harbour. The couple split up, but lived upstairs and downstairs in the house. The son was called Toby.

Hi Alexia, I don't know if you remember me, we used to hang around together in the mid 80's with a girl called Julie. She was blonde and had a high pitch voice, I lost contact with her but would love to hear from both of you.

Juilie,

I'm not sure if you're the 'Sally' that I think you are. Were you with a girl called Alison who worked babysitting for the owners of the rendez-vous?

Hi Christina!

Hi Christina, it's Alison here! I was so surprised to see your post when I was bored at work the other day. It brought back many happy memories of hanging out with you, Sally, Jo and Nikos and the others. So where are you these days? I'm living in Washington DC with my husband and 2 boys ages 6 and 9. Send me a note at alison.howse@gmail.com if you get this message, I'd love to hear from you!  Alison
