Thank you for your thoughts and congratulations on the occasion of the announcement of the OAM for me in the Queen’s honours list.
Though it was not something I ever expected it was none the less very humbling and has taken a bit of getting used to - but I am starting to warm to the idea.
I expect to be invested into the Order of Australia on September 11 at Parliament House, Sydney.
I believe the citation goes something like: "For service to the community of Eden, and to youth. Involved in scouting for 46 years including 28 major camps. A member of the Eden sub-branch of the RSL as treasurer for 15 years. Member of SES since 2010. A member of the Eden Marine Rescue service for 29 years. Involved with the Eden Service and Social club since 2006, treasurer 2009-2011. Member of the Twofold Bay Yacht club for 42 years, holding positions of Commodore, Sailing Captain & Handicapper and conducting many regattas. Eden Foreshore Committee 2004-2015."
Thank you again for taking the time to congratulate me.
