    Hi all

    I went to St Joseph's from age 4-7 (1961-1964). I have often wondered over the years what became of my teachers. Are there any other Old Josephians here who might remember them?
    "Low Babies" (strange name!): Mrs Keogh, who was already (1961) quite elderly, to my four year old eyes anyway. A kindly lady, as I recall.
    "High Babies" (we weren't, honestly!): Ms Ruane. A terror. She wore those Sixties classes with the little wing-tips and was as strict as anything, a real tartar. Hard to tell how old she was, not too old at the time.
    "First Communion": Ms Hogan! A real stunner, tall and slim with black hair. A very, very nice lady, stole my six-year old heart. I think she was about in her mid-20s then, so (hopefully) in her mid-late seventies now.

    I'd love to hear any info or memories anyone might have.
