Could someone remind me of the names of the Pierces' children?

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.
