trying to reunite with students around 1960-61 but i am not certain on the time factor. I was living in Kuwait at the time and flying to Beirut to the Salesian Boys School and was boarding there.
Here are the answers to your 7 questions:
1) Life was wonderful and beautiful. At times a bit turbulent because of the Palestinian conflicts, but other than that, daily life and the quality of life was absolutely fantastic.
2) I became the envy of a lot of people I met later in life. (Europe and now Canada)
3) No one. lost contact but found a few people on facebook recently.
4) Hard to say if I would have stayed. We left in 1972 and have never returned.
5) I would love to visit and see the school, home and beaches we used to go to. I plan on travelling once the travel advisory allows it, and Beirut is more stable.
6) Yes.. most definitely.
7) Please add more pictures and ask people to send updates of where they are now!
