Reunion: Photos help jog memories for 'old boys'
AROUND 40 'old boys' braved a wet and windy evening to meet up for the annual Penzance Grammar/Humphry Davy School reunion.
The shindig was held at the Queen's Hotel on December 29 where memories were jogged by a computer slideshow of old school photographs.
