And, after giving it a bit more thought the following day, away from the influence of the red, we reckon it’s true, yet I bet none of us realise just how useful that ability has been.
To us it’s just natural, if something breaks down you simply rip it apart to find out why. If you want a new power point or a light in the next room, you just put it in, if the washing machine gives up the ghost, you automatically diagnose the fault and then fix it. It’s funny when you come across someone who doesn’t know how to "do things", because we think if we can do it, so can everybody.
Can’t everyone fix the stove, the car, the kids’ bikes, the lawn mower, what’s so hard about wiring up a stereo or a computer or programming a VCR or a micro-wave oven, can’t every-one use a multi-meter. Thank you Mr Air Force.....

T-Shirts
The blue T-shirts produced for the reunion were a hit, and most ordered one or more, and wore their shirts sometime during the week-end.We did say that we could get more for people that either didn’t initially order, or who wanted addition shirts, however, with the problems we had recently, we’ve let that lapse too, so unfortunately, we can’t get any more.
Those blokes that sent in cheques for additional shirts will find a refund with their copy of the newsletter. Once again-sorry...

| Bill Coyer and Trevor Benneworth at the recent reunion dinner in Brisbane. Bill and wife Win made the trip down from Darwin for the reunion where they’ve been since Tracey. Bill was a Cpl at 38 Sqn radio during the late 60’s, early 70’s, and was an avid participant of the Wednesday arvo "sporty" usually held at the Richmond RSL "gym". And being a Cpl, if Bill said "come with me," well, you had no option but to do as you were told. Kev Carroll must have thought he had a very fit and healthy radio section in those days. |

| John Harris and Terry Houston at the reunion dinner. With all the man to man hugging going on (above 2 photos) perhaps one could be excused for asking "Just what sort of a do was it??" |
| A dietician was once addressing a large audience in Brisbane.
"Years ago, the material we put into our stomachs today is enough to have killed most of us sitting here" he said. "Red meat is awful, soft drinks erode the stomach lining, Chinese food is loaded with MSG, and few of us realize the long-term harm caused by the pollutants in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous food of all. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?" A 75-year-old man in the front row stood up and said, "Yeah!...Wedding cake." |
