Lorraine Phillips

We all noted that Lorraine Phillips and that young reprobate from Narembeen, Ray Wilson, 'nicked off' late on Saturday afternoon and that they came back with a very dirty car . . . perhaps they went parking at the 'gravel pit'??  Can we please have a photo that either confirms or denies this rumour?


From Ian Dalton 

Ann and Ian

What about a few words about yourself Ian?  We already know you are doing some great work on the Council and that you are an innovative farmer . . . what else?


From Ron Clarkson

What about a word or two about yourself Ron?

Here is  a of shot of me committing  self-torture in the Singapore Ironman event.

10 items eh?  Well  here goes:

• My wife Pamela  and  I have 4  kids  all grown up now  and  we have 15 grand children 9 biological
• We are self-employed  and I sometimes do an occasional shift at the Esperance Hospital as a P.C.A or Orderly
• Love mostly  country music  and  classical ' listen to it mostly on my  IPod  when I am training  for either  Ultra distance trail marathon racing or triathlons which I am equally just as passionate about
• Food - sea food and eating it!!    
• Fight with my weight all the time
• Love Esperance - it's a great place to live and I never tire of the scenery here
• When I left school I joined the Navy and also did a stint in the Army
• As a civvy later I found working for myself has been the way to go

That's not 10 items, but close enough.

That's it - life as I know it just the normal 'slog slog', but not bad.

From Susan Butler

• Proud mother of two daughters: Sarah (35) and Leah (34) and equally proud Nanna of Michael (16) and Angela (11) - (Leah's two children) and almost one more grand-daughter (Sarah's first and the reason I am not at this Re-union!)
• Love 'being there' for my kids and grandkids, spending time with them and seeing the world through their eyes
• I enjoy the arts - especially writing, art, photography, music and theatre
• I am currently pulling together my Mum's story for our family
• I enjoy trying my hand at various forms of art and learning new techniques - mainly pastels, and oils so far. I love going to art exhibitions.  My favourite artists are Van Gogh and Monet and Renoir
• As for theatre, I especially loved seeing Wicked in London, with my daughter and really enjoy West End quality shows.  I really like that so many great quality shows are now coming to Perth
• I love listening to music from around the world, especially piano-based 'easy listening'.  Like Enya, Bee Gees, Stevie Nicks, Pink Floyd, Paul Kelly, Bob Marley; classical music; light opera.  I currently teach Angela the piano
• My passion is scenic photography and travel.  I enjoy creating photo books of our travels.  I plan an on learning how to take good portraits.  I love travelling in Oz and overseas, seeing new sights for real (not just pictures or documentaries!) and living in other cultures briefly - but there is no place like home!
• Love discovering new cousins, and found one two streets away in Mt Helena only recently!
• Enjoy helping others get the best out of life; like caring for an autistic young man
• Love my white cat Maui and adore my little Pixie - part ragdoll tortoise shell kitty cat as well as my screeching weiros; my finches and my white fluffy silky bantams
• Enjoy walks in the bush and the immeasurable peace of isolation; the sound of Kookaburras laughing; magpies warbling; wind in the trees; the sound of thunderstorms; the smell of first rains on the dry earth; the warmth of winter sun
• Watch very little TV, though I enjoy A Place to Call Home I and Downtown Abbey. I love Black Books.  Dylan Moran is hilarious.  Going to see Bill Bailey when he comes to Perth.  I enjoy QI and quirky humour
• I am an unbelievable keeper of random memorabilia!
