Killarney

By Sean Moriarty
<h3>Former students of St Brendan&rsquo;s College are organising a 50th anniversary reunion of the Leaving Cert class of 1972 &ndash; and they need your help.</h3>
The past students will host a gala reunion in the Killarney Plaza on October 1.
 Around 100 students would have sat the State Exams 50 years ago.
 So far organisers have 89 names on a list of people they want at the event. However, they have only accurate contact details for 30 of these and they are calling on the people of Killarney to fill in the blanks.
 Many of their colleagues are scattered all over the world &ndash; the most famous being Fr Martin Ashe, from Park Road, who is the current Assistant Bishop of Melbourne.
 &ldquo;We have located some of our past teachers too, one being a Mr Lenane who was my Latin teacher and I subsequently went on to be a Latin and Greek teacher,&rdquo; said Dan O&rsquo;Connor, who is one of organisers and who has lived in Dublin since 1972.
 The school&rsquo;s GAA team was highly regarded at the time and the squad lost an All-Ireland Hogan Cup final against St Pat&rsquo;s of Cavan.
 Details of next month&rsquo;s reunion are available from Dan on 086 8497840, Dermot Kelly on 086 811284 or Eugene O&rsquo;Sullivan on 086 3791359.
