Morning John, ? Next year sounds like a great idea. All those lights on the road as we were leaving Canberra yesterday morning must have been the Old Yanconians coming in. Had some fun medical stuff on the weekend. Cheers Dave ?

Hi All,
?
Received some sad news today that Peter Lewis has passed away after a long illness. I hadn’t seen Pete since not long after leaving school but as a kid I used to knock around with
him and of course he ended up at Yanco as part of the 1965 cohort. He went on to marry Ken Armstrong’s sister Helen but they separated years later. I did run into a couple of his sisters a couple of years ago over in Coolamon but outside of that no other contact.
?
Hoping to get to the funeral but no details yet.
?
Sad news…RIP Peter.
?
Outside of that, all well here as we move into Xmas…looking like a hot one but nothing unusual
J . Hope to get another local get together going in January, most likely in Wagga.
?
All the best
?
