Rae and I are ‘settled’ in our two-bedroom home unit at ‘Maritimo’ a ground level complex of 30 units on rising ground on The Strand in Williamstown.
|
Not a fair swap from South West Rocks but there we are.
|
I have taken leave for 12 Months from our Rotary Club and have been attending the Williamstown Rotary Club, a mixed club, smaller than Mosman, and have made some friends there.
|
Rae and I attended their Changeover Dinner, more informal than Mosman, but friendly and Rae met some of the ladies in the Club and partners of fellows.
|
The President and Club Service Director are members of a Wednesday morning (Tee off at 8.30 am!!) golfing group of 10-12 and have asked me to join.
|
Our daughter Melanie and family is five minutes away and younger son Daniel is on the Bellarine Peninsula near Barwon Heads on 30 odd acres.
|
His wife Amy has been appointed CEO of Equestrian Victoria and will start a Riding School to train horses and adults in Dressage and Event Riding.
|
In all while I left Point Cook 60 years ago, never to return here we are after 59 years of wedded bliss!!
|
We will be back in Mosman on Monday evening for ten days and then again in September for a couple of weeks.
|
We look forward to catching up again.

Bob (spelt with one ‘O’) gave us a tremendously entertaining and informative presentation on how to “Be StrokeSafe”
|
Bob Sudol speaks from his own experience having suffered a stroke in his late thirties – a long and arduous journey back to good health including re-learning to talk, walk, and carry out the most fundamental activities of his day to day life.

On 2 August we were visited by Rotarian PHF Saritha Sugunan . Saritha proudly advised us that her Rotary Club is the first unisex club to have an all woman Board this year. Her club is based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu India.
|
There is a funny story worth re-telling about Secretary Graeme and Assistant Secretary Dom’s initial response to our club being approached by Saritha – but best re-told face to face!
