The LSJ's move to Maida Vale may have heralded a brave new world in terms of teaching facilities - and a pleasant little courtyard which is so appealing in the spring and summer - but sadly so many emails and mobile numbers have changed that keeping track of the 2003 classes has been particularly hard.
There are exceptions, fortunately - like Sarah Maxwell from the 9M September group who went on to become one of the first of many students to work for the small but friendly team at Business Traveller, still largely staffed by former students.
Sarah herself has since moved to Suffolk and now works with the communications team at the health watchdog NICE, although she still keeps in touch with her erstwhile colleagues at BT.
Kate Adair from the three-monthers went to Information Age as a staff writer before joining the BBC World Service as a radio producer/researcher, while the wonders of the internet have made it rather easier to keep track of Karen Budell (above) from the January three-month class, who became nightlife producer and bar and clubs editor for Metromix after returning to her native Chicago.
Another young lady returning to America was Sara Dadlani - now Sadhwani - who pursued a career in NGO advocacy, management and press relations as Immigrant Rights Project Director for the Asian Pacific American Legal Center in Los Angeles.
Heading off to the other side of the world was Sebastian Mackenzie-Wilson who, after gaining a staff job as a research on The Times, then moved to Australia. He has since returned to the UK where he worked as a freelance writer before pursuing an unrelated business venture.
Since 2003 the school has become rather more proactive at trying to keep in touch with former students, but of course tutors remember the names and faces, so updates from our missing classes are always welcome!
