Afterlives

Find out what friends and colleagues are doing now. How they are getting on after leaving the foundry. From the start of the project in May 2005 we asked people to tell us about their plans. We receive regular updates from a few ex-employees but we would like more. It's not an automated system (if only) but we will put up posts as often as we can.

Please send us feedback by filling in and sending the form below.
Scroll down to read the posts.

Please note we are having lots of trouble with spam from the form and some legitimate posts are getting lost in the junk. If possible please copy your message direct to jurgenm1947@aol.com please enter your name. subject, message and email (this is optional) as in the form below.

I have recently had some comments from you omitting your details i.e. name & subject, would you please make sure that you enter these in the relevant area as your comments may not be posted.
