I telephoned the Anti- Cancer Society in Limassol and after introducing my self to a lady , she handed me over to the
a Mr.Zahariou , one of the founding members. I begun to explain who I was , he listened patiently when I finished he
started introducing him self starting with his name , his position at the Society and that he was , before retiring , an English teacher at the Lanition Gymnasion in Limassol. I felt a lump in my throat and became emotional on realising that Mr Zahariou was my English teacher at the Lanition in 1960/61 , just before I left to come to the UK in October of 1961.
On arriving here I wrote to him in English , showing off , and he responded , that was the last contact we had. Haven't seen or spoken to him since 1961 , 47 years ago !!
I shall make a point , having been given his mobile number of meeting him in Limassol.
Something good already has happened .

If you don't believe me just look at what happened to GR when he called me Scata Pappous , meaning Shit Grand dad !!
I was telling a few friends on the forum of my relationship with the most adorable little girl in my life , Kristina , my 4 year old granddaughter , and being the open book type that I'm I mentioned that she calls me Pappou Krasi - Grandad Wine , because of my love for wine .
I have forgiven him because he has sent me an email pledging 100 Euros for the Cyprus anti Cancer Society in Limassol. Thanks GR !!
