>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.
