Neville Marsh ( S53-61) advises us that OFs in and around Brisbane have got together again for lunch at the Twin Waters Golf Club. Present were Neville and his wife Alison, John Gates (S44-48) and his wife Ruth Gates, Peter Bailey (K34-38) and Peter Simpson (K32-40) and his wife Hetty. Sadly, this was the first occasion they had met up since Peter’s wife Joyce passed away on 17 November 2011. Peter was keeping in good spirits and will soon set off for a reunion of his RAF Squadron in UK. In the picture below, from left to right are John and Ruth Gates, Neville and Alison Marsh, Hetta and Peter Simpson, with Peter Bailey behind. Hetta is holding a photo of Joyce Bailey.
The following photo shows Peter Bailey and Peter Simpson holding a 1934 Panorama photo of the College. Standing behind are John Gates and Neville Marsh. Neville writes “I can't believe that at least three masters were teaching me 25 years later - Pop Haynes (Physics), Squiffy Thomas (Chemistry) and Winstanley.”
Whilst writing Neville also reports that his book about the floods in January 2011 has sold out all 1000 copies within 2 months of publication. It has raised about $17,000 to help rehabilitate the flood victims and other local residents. Brilliant effort. He is trying to find a copy for the College library.
