The guestbook from April 1998 – December 2007
I am not sure whether this is the best place to post this, but I am actually looking for work in Leysin, Switzerland and was wondering if anybody knew off hand if there was any work available for a hardworking young girl. I am headed there hopefully in a couple days, if you know of any work available please let me know. thanks
Oh my God, was on google and found this horrible pic of me! Anyway, would have been nice to find some old friends here, though I saw some photos I didn't knew! Who mad this photo of me??? Anyway it's cool to have found this side
Hello to Gail Giblin
Yes that is me - Brian Farrell's little sister. Brian is very jealous he could not attend the reunion but we had a fabulous time. I can't see your email address so am trying to connect this way. Cheers!
Had a fabulous evening last saturday.
Thanks Johanne, David and all others who helped!
Will be back in Leysin this winter!
That hairy arm could only belong to the one and only...Dickie! Nice tadd-oo mate!
Just checked out the site for various "food choices" as you guys reunion without me. First of all, ENORMOUS KUDOS to Johanne and Dave for making this work - yet again - after all these years to get so many special folks back where we truly celebrated the joy of life and living, and truly most of us worked hard in Leysin every day to buy the ole toothpaste AND the necessary bar card. So I was thrilled to peruse the lists of folks who had returned - and who had each made an impact on my life - in an always positive way. I hope I did the same for each of you. And so sending love and great salutations of a very special, special time - now being re-captured a bit.............
I salute and remember and love you all....
Ariane; Laurie H. (assume you are now without the black jacket and black thing around your neck...); Re-Pete (your lifelong friendship with Black Pete and later dearest Shona touched me - I can STILL sing most of Hoki Mai (sp??) from memory thanks to YOU); Bev and Marinette (M - you took Brian F. back!!); Scott and Carol - just enormous thanks and kudos for hiring just about ANYONE who needed a lift and a respite - May dearest Alan be always remembered and RIP); Andre Hefti (loved your dearest Mum and of course, Pierre. Your love and kindness to Laurie Ramsey a/k/a "Petit Camion" sparked her every day - may she, too, RIP; Don and Tinks - WOOHOO!! - love you both.......and remember your visit to my wee flat in Collonges Fort L'Ecluse - found the panties in MY bed!!; Simon - thank you for taking time with Kim to "pose" in front of L'Horizon yesterday - you made my day; thrilled that Helen Neithardt is there, too - Guy was one of most special, special Swiss friends - even coaxed me to climb with him - NOT a wise decision as I freaked. Lillian Walsh - is that you Lillian, Brian's dear sister??; and to Rob and Dorothee - thrilled that you could make it back.....
Enough - I am sad that I am not there, but uplifted that so many good folks from my memories. And lastly, thank you Simon for taking the brilliant photo of you and Kim et al for me in front of Paolo's - a/k/a L'Horizon. Cheers and God Bless...........
Hope everyone who is (was) at the reunion has / had a good one..wish Laura and I could have made it..! next time!!( whenever that may be..!)
Keep in touch....
Cheers to all,
Andy,Banff, Alberta, Canada.

We are so excited to attend this reunion! I am bringing my 24 year old daughter with me, for her first trip to Europe. This is the perfect opportunity to introduce her to a beautiful place, wonderful folks and an unforgetable experience!
Vag barlady 72-73. Loved the air up there.
Welcome to the new guestbook. I'll try to import the old one soon.

Having seen sister Lillian’s response, thought I had better put a few words in. i was so disappointed not to be able to attend the renuion, had of got my A into G probably could have. I guess it’s hi to Gael,that”s the second letter from yourself with my name mentioned. Am very touched you still remember me, wouldn’t blame Marinette entirely.
Still rember you vividly, we did have great times together. Have very close ties with Campbell Watts, we always manage to have a wee DRAM together and talk over old times. Hi to Marrinette & Bev ( Bev you scored a beaut girl) and any others who remember me
