OLD TIMERS' MUSTER
The discovery of a twenty-year-old Commissioners' Conference photo prompted us to give a special slice of this " Citation" to three old timers — Alf Strom', Jock Reid and Bill Johns.
With regard to two other former members, Sergeants Tony Lynch and Jim McLean, we regret to have to announce that each suffrred a bereavement. Tony Lynch's wife (formerly Sheila Elliott, of Horseshoe Bend) and lint McLean's father both died in Adelaide early this year.
A letter from Pat Dillon indicates that she and Cec. and their family are all thriving over on the New South Wales Coast.
We also had a letter from the former Mayor of Pinke, Ronald Agnew Brown. We can safely tell you that Brownie and his mob are doing very well indeed since he got away from those Pinkeing camels. His son, Sydney, has gone to the other extreme — he's heading for the Navy! We'd like to tell you more about Ron, but his. .address tools up nearly two pages and left only a few lines for him to say what he wanted to say. Murtvilhitnbah is only part of it!
A couple of breezy letters arrived from Woodside, S.A., from Doug and Joyce Johnson. They were looking forward to reading the first " Citation", then. (We haven't heard a word since!) Their two boys, Perry and Kym, are doing apprenticeships and daughter Sharon is still at school.
Bill McKinnon is still enjoying his retirement in the Bnderim area of Queensland. He must be enjoying it quietly, though — we never hear from him!
Two former members, Ivan Cutler and Alan Anstee, are doing well in the Hong Kong Police. They have both married since leaving us— Alan fairly recently, but Ivan is an old hand, wills two children.
Interesting news .from South Australia reveals that one of ,our former members, Kevin Gregg, now a Detective Senior Constable, has taken over as Officer-in-Charge of the Criminal Investigation Branch at the industrial city of Whyalla. Kevin was a well-liked young man when serving in Darwin and got his first taste of C.I.B. work in our old Information and Enquiry Section. (Probably his most kficttlt local problem was the case of the Missing Barracks Stairs!)
Commissioner Graham bids farewell to the Superintendent Marine after Singapore Harbour cruise. Superintendent Koh, of the Singapore Police, is on the Commissioner's right.
