[Oe List ...] Carol Pierce's 70th birthday

Wed Apr 12 03:47:20 EDT 2006

Hello Dick,
A memory about Carol- 
A number of us were "sent out" to the first ITI in Singapore, in August, 1969.
That year in the Sydney House the Pierces and the Allerdings were assigned to the House. It was actually our first year of a proper Sydney House, as the Busses and Don Clark did not live under the same roof as our family,in 1968.
At breakfast Carol sent us out-  there were about 10 of us out of the 22 who went, present at breakfast. Carol said some words, and then she took a glass, and threw it very forcefully, so hard that it broke in many pieces( which was her intent).It was her way of symbolising that the old was passing away and the new would unfold-  sure enough it did-  as that ITI was the beginning of a new day-  JWM was present for the whole time,and many stories could be told of the long range effect that the ITI had on me, the Aboriginals present and all the others there.
I celebrated my 70th Birthday on March 10, and had a marvellous time!
All good wishes to you, Dick,
Isobel Bishop.
