Ross Colley
Ross Colley has a desire to reconnect with any former classmates from my years at Miami State High in the grade of 8A4 in the year 1968 and grade of 9S1 in the year 1969. I currently reside in the coastal Victorian town of Portland in Australia and my wife and I own a music and book shop in the town. We have 2 sons [eldest lives at Warrnambool and youngest at Cairns]. Interests are music on LP record, technical books and local and o/seas travel when time permits. Would very much enjoy the opportunity to one day attend a reunion with all former classmates.
