I am andrew longridge and I attended Oban High school from, 1989 to 1963, after graduating I started a job as lab
technician at Alginate Indistries In 1965 I emegrated to Canada and have been here ever since. As a boy growing up in boomtown I had many friends many I could name and if some of this posting reaches them I would love to chat.
I went to the high school in 1958, and sooner than spend my shilling on school dinners, I would go to Joe Boni's and get a couple of woodbine and the best ice cream I ever tasted. Anyone remember Joe Boni's cafe?
