>   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.
