PERSONAL WARRI REUNIONS

As a result of seeing each other's names on this web page, at least one major job as been obtained after two Warri Veterans contacted each other via this web page.    

Have there been any other interesting linkups as a result of the Warri Reunion and/or this web page ?  

Drop a line to tony@tallrite.com and we'll add your story.  

We don't expect this to become another www.friendsreunited.co.uk but it would be nice to hear of any personal tales that might emerge.
