NEWSLETTER SEPTEMBER 11TH 2014
WELCOME
President John McPhee welcomed 70 members and partners to our meeting held at the Mulgrave Country Club .The formal matters were dealt with by Secretary Peter Pritchard and those present then enjoyed catching up with friends and colleagues. Members not seen for some time included Sandra Brown, Graeme Findlay, Max Fisher, Jack Grant, Hedley Ham, Gary Horkings (first time), Dan Kirtley, Alan Lauder, Rod Macaulay, Bernie O’Reilly (back from 14 weeks overseas), Denis Rice (first time), Peter Russell (first time), Dick Sanders, John Simson (from Moama), Ken Stapleton, Syd Swaby, Bob Tough, Rose Virgona, Jill Ward, David White, Carole Whiting and Keith Winkles.
A number of members attending said the location of the Club was ideal for them and the restaurant service and free parking were attractions for members living in the south eastern suburbs. The attendance of partners also made for a very friendly luncheon and the committee will be heartened by the sizeable numbers enjoying our suburban meetings.

BEREAVEMENTS
Goulding S.J. (Stan) 87 years 19/8/2014
Graeme Ainscough wrote that he was saddened to learn of the passing of Stan Goulding who was a stalwart of ANZ Frankston during Graeme’s years in Dandenong Area Branch.
Lawrie Foord said he worked with Stan in the Bills Department of ES&A 388 Collins Street before Stan was posted to Darwin. Lawrie felt that Stan on his return to Melbourne had managed several of the ANZ branches near Cheltenham where Stan eventually retired.
Weeks Brian 82 years 4/9/2014
Glen Twidale was saddened to hear of Brian’s passing.Glen knew him well and valued his friendship. Beneath that quite exterior lay a very active mind and a competitive spirit. For some time Glen used to meet Brian, John Hogarth and Norm Gibbs at the Civic Club for lunch and a game of snooker. They had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs.
Sue McCarthy recalls when she was a very young research officer; in 1969 she was transferred to Wellington, which was where Sue first met Brian, who was then the number 2 in Advances Department. Sue did some industry analysis for him and found him very stern and proper. It was only after she had returned to Melbourne, and Brian had been transferred from New Zealand, that she had the opportunity to appreciate his very straight-faced sense of humour. Somewhat later, when Brian was again in New Zealand as head of our operations there, she had to visit New Zealand several times to do some Strategic Planning work. It was then that she came up against his fearsome intelligence and thoughtfulness about banking developments. But perhaps her clearest memory of Brian is that on one occasion, back in Melbourne; by chance she walked out of 55 Collins Street with him after a fairly difficult morning. When Brian asked how she was, Sue said that she was having a few battles, to which he replied “I’ve always thought, Sue, that good management has nothing to do with popularity”. She has often quoted him, and indeed thinks those few words sum him up well: aiming to do a proper job by his own very high standards.
Eamon Veaney said that Brian was the overall boss of IT when he came to Australia in 1989.
At our meeting members stood for a few moments of silence in remembrance of Stan and Brian and our condolences are extended to their families.
Roger Watkins advised that Susan Beckers (54 years) passed away on 16/8/2014. Susan was working in 55 Collins Street Branch for Mary Ryan when Roger knew her and she would be remembered by ANZROC members.
Brian Day advised that Gary Stocks passed away after a long battle with cancer on 22/8/2014 aged 80 years. Many members will remember Gary who served with ANZ for 30 years. Gary worked at 351 Collins Street, Southern Cross, 75 Collins Street and other branches. He was a keen cricketer and played many matches for ANZ in the Mercantile Competition. He was an excellent opening fast bowler as well as being handy with the bat. He was also one of the founding members of the ANZ Social Golf Club. His funeral service was attended by Ted Palmer, with whom he worked, as well as Brian himself. RIP Gary.

BIRDIES TWITTER
The ANZROC luncheon at Mulgrave Country Club was an excellent afternoon with seventy members attending (including many partners which was great to see) travelling from far and wide to this popular venue .Although there was some queuing for lunch orders, the quality of the food and luncheon got the “thumbs up”
I found it impossible to get around to everyone, but the feedback I did receive was positive and certainly warrants the committee considering another visit next year
Cheryl and I recently returned from 4 weeks at Hervey Bay where we had a couple of pleasant evenings with “Hendo” (Brian Henderson) and Christine. On the way up stayed with Bruce and Glennis Robertson at Runaway Bay. Fantastic hosts and they all passed on their best wishes to ANZROC members
The weather was unseasonably wet and one storm collapsed the annex on our van which led to me penning a ditty as follows:
Whilst sitting in our tiny van listening to the weather man
The rain was pelting down on top and seemed like it would never stop
Whilst feeling somewhat forlorn, I went for a swim and the water was warm
A local told me the storm would clear in a while, and to also watch out for a crocodile
I believe he said it for a lark and then he mentioned a great white shark
Now sharks are something I sure fear, so found it safer on shore drinking beer
He said the weather was a freak, I did not respond, to be discreet
LETTERS
Graeme Ainscough writes that after several torrid months since surgery in March his health is at last on the improve but his wife June is now due for surgery which will mean daily visits to hospital and intensive rehabilitation for her . Graeme went to watch his AFL team North Melbourne play on his birthday and the team had a great win on the day and at the date of this newsletter is progressing towards the pointy end of the season. .Graeme has been able to attend a few of his Cheltenham baseball team’s winter games and the team is in the finals again this year.
Barbara Bruce emails many thanks to Kathy for the birthday card. One of Barbara’s friends drove her to Noojee and it was a very enjoyable day. They had lunch in a café at Jindivick, drove around the beautiful hilly Noojee area and wandered by the Latrobe River. In the evening Barbara went to the MCG and saw Hawthorn defeat Geelong.
Diane Carew emailed to let me know she has been in Beleura Hospital for a total knee replacement and is undergoing the usual rehabilitation exercises so will be out of action for a couple more months. Diane is hoping to catch up at our luncheons in 2015.
Rick Dickson emails that once again without fail he received his birthday greeting on the day of the birthday. Rick spent this birthday on Gabo Island, had a great time and knocked another item off his second " Bucket List "Rick is well and looking forward with some amazement to his next birthday, as it will be his 80th.So sad to see the passing of a number of his former Esanda colleagues, they will be missed.
John Fearnley passes on to Kathy his thanks for sending the birthday card to him. It was appreciated and makes John feel that he is still part of the team.
Barbara Gardiner emails her thanks to the ANZ Retired Officers committee and Kathy for taking the time to keep in touch with all of the ANZ retirees on their Birthdays!! Barbara is still enjoying all of the opportunities available to seniors to keep active, travel independently and live the good life. This year she revisited France which included a sobering trip to The Somme before returning to Paris to "walk in the shoes" of the many great writers who worked and lived there especially in the 19th and 20th century. She then took the Eurostar across to London and enjoyed some wonderful theatre in the West End. Next year, Barbara and daughter Liz look forward to driving to the magnificent Grand Canyon and Brice Canyon before Liz goes to Boston to attend a conference and Barbara meets up with her nephew who now resides in New York. She does enjoy reading the newsletter each month and thanks the committee for the commitment.
John Hawkins reports that he and wife Helen will be missing for the next meetings as they (Yep you guessed it) are on a cruise visiting Norway, Shetland Isles, Iceland where they hope to swim in the Blue Lagoon if the Volcano doesn’t erupt, then onto Canada and USA. They will be spending a few weeks with friends in Portland Oregon touring the State before coming home.
Graham Holt emailing to pass on his thanks to Kathy Trace for the work she does through her birthday wishes in maintaining the close companionship built up over many years of working and socializing together. Graham often looks back at the good fortune that happened his way when a friend of his parents Eric [Lofty] Forrest [father of Alan] suggested he join ANZ back in 1954. After the recent funeral of the one and only Leigh O’Neill a few of Graham’s colleagues who have been friends for nearly 60 years had dinner together and discussed old times.
The past 12 months has flown through at the blink of an eye. Last October Graham and his wife learnt that their youngest grandson Xavier who had just celebrated his first birthday, had a malignant tumour on his liver. Over the next 6 months they got to know the Children’s Hospital like a second home and Graham was overwhelmed by the care and facilities given to not only the patients but also their families. Xavier’s family virtually lived at the hospital and MacDonald House for much of Nov. through to June It was eventually decided that Xavier’s only chance was a liver transplant and he was placed on the top of the list for Australia and NZ which resulted in a 13 hour operation last February only 10 days after going on the list .Despite a few hic ups he is progressing exceptionally well. Actually many may have seen their son David and his family when they were interviewed as part of the Channel 7 Hospital Appeal on Good Friday. After the above experience the past 12 months seem pretty dull except for crossing one of the things that has been on Graham’s bucket list for some time; he went sky diving with his eldest grandson and he recommends the experience to anyone who has remotely considered it; although next time it will be done in summer as Graham has never been so cold whilst free falling from 14000 feet in mid winter.
Ian Ince sends his thanks to the ANZROC committee and Kathy Trace for the birthday card. On the day Ian and wife June were entertained by half of their family at a Chinese Restaurant at Redwood Gardens. The other half of the family was holidaying on the Gold Coast but will celebrate the birthday with Ian and June on their return. Now into his 21st year of retirement Ian says how time goes by. They still enjoy their annual holidays in Rosebud and Yarrawonga.
Barry Kennedy emails his thanks to Kathy Trace for the birthday card received on his 75th birthday - it’s greatly appreciated and a useless piece of trivia Barry has been alive for
2,366,791,168 seconds! How's that for record keeping! He is happily retired although does work for his daughter and son in law both of whom are medico's to keep the mind active. Barry and wife Rosemary spend a fair amount of time travelling around the world which they enjoy greatly, and also commute to their apartment in Mooloolaba but not as often as they would like. Barry and Rosemary live in an Apartment in Camberwell which is very convenient to all forms of transport so he uses the car only on odd occasions and they walk mostly to all of their activities.
Barry enjoys the monthly newsletter but so far hasn’t been able to attend any of the lunch meetings but will do so one day. They catch up with Sandra Street and her husband Patrick when they are going on cruises which are great fun.
Paul Kinna, son of our late Honorary Member Brian Kinna said that Brian was very proud of his career at the Bank and spoke highly of his many friends there. Paul sent thanks for the copy of the newsletter with the Bereavement Notice which he shared with many of Brian’s family.
Stan Lancaster writes to thank ANZROC for the birthday card as always arrived on the day. Stan always enjoys receiving the newsletters and learning of the exploits of former colleagues- they are great supporters of the travel industry.
Cathie Mackiggan emails her thanks for the birthday wishes right on time as usual.
80 years…how did that happen?
Sue McCarthy emails a big thank you for the birthday card. In this electronic age, it is very pleasant to have a “proper letter” to open on the day. Like all retirees, Sue wonders how she ever had time to work, especially as she considers the past year, not to mention the one ahead. Perhaps the highlight of last year was a really terrific tour called “Hidden Secrets of Ancient and Mediaeval Rome”. The tour organisation is called Australians Studying Abroad (asatours.com.au) and Sue is more than happy to give them a plug – she has now done 5 of their tours and all have been excellent. She always enjoys the newsletter.
Reg Nicolson emails his thanks to Kathy Trace for the birthday card which as usual was spot on the day. It must be a bit of a chore but the cards are much appreciated so perhaps that compensates.
Coralie O’Donahoo writing from Noosa Heads says thank you Kathy Trace for the birthday card-one she can rely will arrive on time. Coralie has been relaxing in Cullen Bay (33degrees) after a 2 degree minimum breaking a 103 year record on the Sunshine Coast and she was relishing the beautiful weather in the Darwin precincts. After a couple of weeks in Sabah and Singapore and Christmas in New York which was non-stop it was good to relax in the one place for a change…quite a different holiday for Coralie.
Kevin O’Neill writes his thanks to Kathy Trace for his birthday card and good wishes received in July. Kevin also thanks his friends and colleagues for the “get well cards” received whilst recently hospitalised and he is now home and well on the way to full recovery.
Pat O’Neill widow of our Past President Leigh O’Neill said she was sorry to read in our Newsletter of the passing of Max Wehner. Max worked with Leigh in Launceston for some years before moving back to Victoria to branches in Gippsland.
Trevor Richards emails that he has just returned from wintering in the Cairns/Port Douglas area. His birthday card probably arrived on time (2nd August). It was amongst the mountain of mail that he had to open on returning home, following a month up north.
Trevor passes on his thanks to the ANZROC committee and Kathy Trace for his birthday card.
