Old Friends...in the UK

I am convinced that in every country in the world, if you look hard enough you will find a Jamaican! It was good for me to know that even as I undertook this new path of study there would be people I knew residing in this country and if I looked hard enough I could find them. So it was, that from my NMLS class of 1997 (gosh people we have been in practice for over 10 years!) there are 3 such folk in the UK who have been found and I can call upon them in case of emergency. So here goes! Gail Edwards (Ibekwem) is here... she has been a tower of strength for me since the time I contemplated making this sojourn. She has completed her LLM and is admitted as solicitor in this jurisdiction. Lawson Crawford...I found him just as I was about to leave home, he is in practice here and I can count on him for an inspiring phone call every now and then. They are both in London. Caroline Mah Leung (Fitchett) yes she is here too! During the Easter holidays I met up with her and the family in Birmingham and it was such a blessing to see her and the family. She is now doing her PHD! How many Drs. in the class now? Well, it was good to see them all and it got me thinking... where are some of the our clasmates? A reunion is in order!
