A cherry blossom tree to remember Richard

I set up a facebook group of Manchester Medics, class of '79 yesterday. The numbers doubled over night. There are now about thirty members already, and talk of meeting once a month for a beer. Admittedly this was the boys, well me and John really, who both live in and about Manchester. I thought 'the Friendhip' in Fallowfield would be nostalgic enough. Tommy Ducks, the Plaza and the Conti having closed down.
There are some names I just don't remember at all.Other people I can picture but don't recall their names, and others who's names are so common that there's no way of knowing which one was a 'class of '79er'. It'll be fun to see what happens.
We planted a cherry blossom tree yesterday, to commemorate the life of Richard. What a great way to be remembered. Much better than a gravestone in my opinion. It's what I would like for myself.
