PRESIDENT'S PEN

Hello all,

58 Members and partners held our May meeting at the Salvation Army Headquarters, Melbourne.

Major Brendan Nottle was our guest speaker and spoke about the issues with homeless in Melbourne. Members had the opportunity to tour the facility and learn a little more about the work of the Salvation Army.

The meeting was also our Red Shield Appeal. Members raised $3,100 at the meeting and this was presented to Brendan at the conclusion of his talk. Thank you to all for their contributions.

ANZROC have a number of events and meetings scheduled for the remainder of this year. If you can, please make the effort to come along and catch up with some of your colleagues.

Our June meeting will feature a speaker from The Office of the Public Advocate who will talk about “Enduring powers of attorney”. In view of the importance of this topic to our members we have made the meeting open to partners. Further details are in this newsletter.

If you can please come along.

Hope to see you soon

Members not seen for some time included Wendy Black, Linda Davidson, Teresa Goldsbrough, Bob Lamb, Bruce Sanderson, Peter Treleaven, Rose Virgona, Jill Ward, Carole Whiting, and having our partners present made for a very pleasant afternoon.

BEREAVEMENTS

Glasson J.L. (John) 93 years 30/4/2016

John joined the Australian Army in August 1942 and at discharge in July 1946 was Sergeant, 7th Australian Infantry Battalion. He served in Darwin during the bombing campaign and later in Army Intelligence in Bougainville. John joined the Union Bank in Horsham and moved to Tasmania to Launceston and was then transferred to Melbourne where our member Bob Kirkland met John at 154 Swanston Street and then later they met again when they were Assistant Managers at 351 Collins Street. John went on to Dandenong and Bob moved into Lending. John was a long time member of the Woodlands Golf Club where he played for many years with our member Neville Taylor. John was involved with the Anglican Church in Sandringham serving as an Elder. Bob Kirkland reported that at the funeral service for John he met ANZROC members Bernie Sowersby and Bruce Tickell.

We advised the passing of our Life Member John Vanselow in the April newsletter and can now report that the funeral was well attended with many ANZROC members in attendance. The service was quite a relaxed family affair and Neville Pearson spoke at the service presenting a poem about his 50 years of friendship with John which follows later in this newsletter. The Celebrant said that John would have enjoyed the proceedings.

Graeme and Annette Baldwin emailed to thank ANZROC for letting us know about John Vanselow’s untimely death in time so that we were able to attend his funeral – Annette has fond memories of him at ANZ over fifty years ago.

John Brown was cruising around Hawaii and not able to be present but emailed to say that he and wife Jan “spoke to John and Lois a little while before we left on this trip and there was no indication that things were not good. We will miss John as we went on a couple of caravan trips with them and we have known them since the 1960s.”

Bob Maughan emailed “Very sad to hear of the passing of Col Edwards and John Vanselow Had a lot to do with both and enjoyed their company many times.

Col was a true gentleman. Joan and I greatly enjoyed many social occasions with him and Ethel particularly at the Australian Pops Orchestra performances which were sponsored by Esanda. When I was with Esanda Col was very supportive and always available to provide advice and wise counsel. He will be greatly missed! The worst of moving interstate is being out of the loop until it is too late.

Whilst I already knew John Vanselow I got to know him better when he was Manager of the ANZ Elsternwick Branch and I was the relieving Manager at the ESA Elsternwick.

Reg Hunt Group banked with John and their Esanda business was conducted though the Scottie Branch. We were both invited to a Christmas function at the Dealership where we had a most enjoyable time receiving an 'education' at the same time particularly in ways of having a bet we could never have imagined!!! This was the first of many work and social times together particularly on the golf course. A born organiser it will not take him long in organising a golf game in heaven! Our deepest condolences to his wife Lois.

Emilio Moreno said about John Vanselow “As you know we worked together in Tokyo for a couple of years back in 1979 and he was always great fun and a great guy”.

Dennis Murphy emailed the following message “It is with great sadness that I see the passing of Col Edwards and John Vanselow. I was in Methods at the time Col was the Stationery Manager and I was under the guide of Alan Mc Clean and then Harry Carrodus undertaking the writing of IDA with Geoff Scott for International Dept and there were fond memories of all that crew.

When John was the Representative for Japan he was a great help in looking after all the arrangements when I was in Corporate Dept and went to sign documents for the first Japanese currency loan undertaken for the Tasmanian Hydro Commission. He also showed me some of the sites!! A great man and both dedicated to the well being of the ANZROC and will be sadly missed at the Christmas lunches.”

Joan Nathan emailed to say it is so sad losing two very respected members in such a short time, I was thinking about all those attending the funeral today of John Vanselow, such a shock, he was so warm and welcoming when I joined the Retired Officers, and knew no one, He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Frank Edwards emailed that it was sad to read of the death of Roly Isherwood in the UK. Our paths crossed when I visited the bank in London in 1973 and Roly was working with Sid Cumberland. The interesting sidelight is that in our young days Roly and I were fellow students at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Blackburn, Lancs. We went our separate ways, with Roly remaining in the UK and joining one of the ANZ’s founder banks while I migrated to Australia in 1951 and joined the Scottie. So by a devious route we both ended up in the same institution.

And I often wondered why Col Edwards kept asking me if I had his pay check. It wasn't until I saw his death notice that I learned that he was named Frank.

RECOLLECTIONS OF FUN TIMES IN THE BANK

Members may recall a request from Gary Mason who has been collecting humorous stories which happened in the Bank over the years and some of these stories are now being included in our ANZROC newsletters

FRANK HATFIELD….

While at Kew branch, I found that the Manager allowed the local butcher to keep his horse in the bank's back yard. The Manager made friends with the horse by giving it a sugar lump each morning when he arrived at work. One morning just before the bank opened the Manager went to the toilet which was in the back yard. The Manager seemed to be an extraordinarily long time, so the accountant went out to see where he was. The accountant found the horse with its front half in the toilet and the Manager calling out for help.. The horse wouldn't let him out of the toilet without first getting a sugar lump and the Manager had left his coat, with sugar lumps in the pocket, in his office. . The accountant went inside the bank and got a lump of sugar and was able to coax the horse away from the toilet and release the Manager.

When we were leaving the bank at night, the same Manager had a habit of charging the front door of the bank, hitting it with his shoulder and with great force to check that it was securely closed. One night another reliever intentionally left the door on latch and when the Manager mounted his attack, the door flew open and he slid up the banking chamber on his side. This cured him of attacking the door and in future he just shook it to check if it was properly locked.

DICK MILNTHORPE….

Back in the fifties when Roger Darvall was CEO and a Mr S K (Rupert) Brooke was the Head Office Manager in London, I remember attending Rupert Brooke’s retirement party when in farewell he related to the attendees a comment on careers. He said that as one progressed through life one or other of two things happened, either you became a specialist and knew more and more about less and less and ended up knowing everything about nothing, or you became a generalist and knew less and less about more and more and ended up knowing nothing about everything ! I have always thought how true this is.

My favourite story in Grindlays was when we were putting in the new Indian Computer System. We needed to be able to communicate easily with the Software developers in Dublin by using Fax but the Indian Government prohibited its use on the Indian Public Telephone System at that time, however although you could not obtain a Fax Machine in India Gurmeet assured me they could connect one if one became available. In London I purchased a Canon Fax which had a carrying case just like the Cine Cameras of that time and took it to India where the Customs assumed it was a Cine Camera. The boys connected it to the phone system and we proceeded to happily talk to Dublin using it. About a month later Ashok Dyal, the Indian No 1 in the Bank called me to his office. "Dick" he said. “I believe we have a Fax machine in Bombay". "Yes" I said. " I believe we have ".”Tell me" Ashok said, “how did it get there?" I said, "If you must know I smuggled the machine in!" Ashok leaned back in his chair, his fingertips touching, and said "how would you have liked to spend some time in an Indian Goal?" "Not much" I said. Ashok then asked me "Did this proclivity to criminal activities rub off on you during your sojourn in Melbourne!”

RAY MURPHY

These letters from members regarding past deeds are interesting and great to refresh the memory box, and this is the first of several from me to start the ball rolling. Whilst waiting for an appointment for Branch Management I was sent to relieve the Accountant at the Scottie Box Hill Branch in the week leading up to Xmas 1964.The Branch had a reputation of excesses in overtime and tea money drawing and I was instructed to curtail it. Each day I rostered off staff to avoid full compliment on board for tick offs balancing which was working well. Come Xmas Eve I called the General Clerk in requesting certain staff to finish up for the night. Too late Boss he said it is past Tea money time viz5.50 pm and I have turned the office clock back 10 minutes… what could I say they had all worked well and it was Xmas anyway.

LES ROBERTS

A customer interview (contributed by Les Roberts from his time as a junior clerk at Ararat Branch).

Part of my job was to take customers to the Manager. One day I was escorting a mature lady and seeing that the door was ajar I pushed it and showed her through. Much to my dismay the Manager was standing there with his white “long johns” in full view. I hurriedly turned her around. It transpired that the Manager had answered a call of nature in the yard dunny and felt a bite on his return. Whatever did it was not known however it was not a red back and all ended well.

BIRDIES TWITTER

The Salvation Army meeting was a great success and very comforting to see so much good will to ones fellow man (and woman) is carried out by this organisation.

I was very proud to be asked to speak on behalf of the ANZROC at John Vanselow’s funeral service I thought it would be nice to put it in poetry which went down very well .I asked Lois if it would be OK to place it in the May “Birdies Twitter. Lois and the family were very happy for us to do so

JOHN VANSELOW ONE OF GODS TRUE BLUE RIBBON GENTLEMAN

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF KNOWING JOHN FOR FIFTY ODD YEARS

AT A GUESS THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR AROUND ONE MILLION BEERS

MY FONDEST MEMORIES WERE ON THE BASKETBALL COURTS

JOHN WAS CAPTAIN OF A TEAM CALLED “FEAR NOUGHTS”

WHILST MOST PLAYERS HAD CONTROL OF THE BALL

JOHN WITH HIS SIZE HAD LITTLE CONTROL AT ALL

HIS DRIVE TO THE RING WAS A THING TO BEHOLD

IF YOU GOT IN JOHNS WAY YOU WERE FOOLISH OR BOLD

UNDER JOHN’S LEADERSHIP THE CLUB CONTINUED TO GROW

UNTIL IT WAS LARGEST IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE YOU KNOW

ALTHOUGH IT MAY HAVE BEEN SOME WAY OFF FROM THE BEST

IN ALL SOCIAL CIRCLES IT STOOD EVERY TEST

JOHN’S BANKING CAREER I SHOULD MENTION YOU KNOW

AS GENERAL MANAGERS SECRETARY HE CARRIED THE SHOW

HE HAD A RESPONSIBILITY WHICH REQUIRED MUCH TIME

ORGANISING FUNCTIONS FOR CUSTOMERS, AND TESTING THE WINE

I COULD GO ON FOREVER AS HE WAS SUCH A GREAT MAN

JOHN WAS LOVED BY EVERYONE HE MET AS FEW PEOPLE CAN

LOIS AND FAMILY WHILST WE MOURN FOR YOUR PAIN

THE LOVE THAT JOHN GAVE US WILL ALWAYS REMAIN

WITH A TEAR IN MY EYE AND A HEART THAT IS BLEAK

THANK YOU FOR THE HONOUR OF LETTING ME SPEAK

Love to all John’s family and friends

Neville Pearson (Birdie)

LETTERS

Annette and Graeme Baldwin emailed to say that they were both on the sick list when they received their birthday greetings, and they would like to say how much they enjoyed receiving the cards. Annette and Graeme are doing well again

Carole Bancroft emailed her thanks to the Committee and all members of ANZROC, for her card and birthday greetings which as usual arrived on time. She had a lovely day which ended with a family dinner at her sister's home. Despite the passing years, Carole’s health continues to be good which enables her to remain fairly active, so much so, that there are never enough hours in the day to get through the daily "To Do" list. Carole thinks she needs to reduce the list or get rid of it all together. Husband Graham had another hospital stay earlier in the year due to a minor heart attack coupled with Pneumonia. However as usual he continues to defy the odds and has once again bounced back and is reasonably well at the moment. Again her appreciation and thanks especially to Kathy Trace who continues to do such a wonderful job in recognizing the various milestones of all ANZROC members.

Darryl Bartlett emailed his thanks to Kathy Trace for the birthday greetings (he likes the new card).The day prompted Darryl to reflect on the past year on the passing of 2 good friends in Alan Forrest and Col Edwards. Alan in particular looked after Darryl and family on returning from Tasmania after the ESA merger in 1970. Travelling daily together from Glen Waverley to Moonee Ponds as Accountant and Accounting supervisor had its moments particularly after refreshments at Moonee Ponds Hotel some evenings. As lifelong friends Alan and wife Margaret with Darryl and wife Ronda spent many a long weekend camping and gold panning in NE Vic. As for the past year, health has still been up and down. Whilst in Fiji last August he was diagnosed with a clot in the right leg, which resulted in 7 days in Lautoka Hospital, then time until Ronda and him could fly home. On return as well as being treated for DVT Darryl had a cancer removed from his tongue. All is well at present and they will be going back to Fiji to visit daughter and family, hopefully when their new home is finished as there has been considerable delays due to recent cyclones.

Bob Bell emailed to convey to the committee and Kathy Trace his thanks for their good wishes on his recent birthday. Card arrived on time as usual. The past 12 months has been a bit of a roller coaster health wise. Bob had a melanoma removed last August, fortunately received the all clear, and Bob and wife Carolyn could celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in September. They also enjoyed a 33 day cruise around Australia in October.

Don Davy wrote to thank the ANZROC committee for the meaningful greetings received on the quality birthday card on the occasion of his 72nd birthday. On the day at Finchley Court where he lives the celebrations started with residents and staff congratulating Don at breakfast and repeated at lunchtime. Then in the evening he was entertained by his daughter and family .Don keeps busy in his voluntary commitments including the gardener’s role at the Hawthorn Victorian Gardens Supported Residential Services. He is thankful for his 33 years in ANZ and the many friends he has made.

ANZROC Secretary Vicky Genius emailed her thanks to Kathy Trace for the ANZROC card, much appreciated. And she does like the new design. The family went to lunch at Hellenic Republic in Brunswick, very good it was too.

Nev Greenway emailed his thanks again to Kathy Trace for the Birthday card delivered as usual, right on the day even though postal services have recently changed significantly. It seems to be a natural law that as one’s age increases, time seems to shrink each year. At the end of the month, Nev and wife Bev will be meeting with his former class mates and their partners in Cohuna to celebrate the 66th anniversary the opening in 1950 of the Cohuna Consolidated Higher Elementary School. It was the first Consolidated School in the State. Nev joined the bank in August 1955 at ANZ Cohuna that had become a designated “Training Branch” with Bill Phidian as resident manager. The Bank residence is now a separate B&B accommodation where they will be staying for the two day event, no doubt evoking additional memories of life after school.

Graham Heenan emailed his thanks for his birthday wishes again this year. Since last year Graham and wife Pam have completed a five week trip overseas which included a four night stay in Istanbul before joining a 15 day Princess Cruise to Barcelona, After two nights in Barcelona they had 7 days at Lake Como in Italy followed by a few days in Dubai with friends on the way home - a very enjoyable time away. While away in Echuca recently their house was broken into resulting in cash, jewellery and whiskey being stolen and a "terrific mess" to clean up. Apart from the occasional "70" year old health problems all is well in the Heenan household.

Laurie Holland wrote to thank the Committee for the birthday wishes for his 96th and also the Christmas greetings. As you can imagine there is little that Laurie and wife Barb are able to do by way of travel at their age although the regular contact through the newsletter is a highlight of each month. The passing years are starting to develop some unwelcome problems but they have a lot to be thankful for. They still live at home but rely on the support of their children to do so. Thank you for being there.

Betty Jennings wrote to thank the ANZROC committee for the good wishes received each year. Life is not that exciting for Betty these days with health problems that restrict her a lot. She fears her travel days are over however Village life is interesting with many activities available to residents.

David Kay wrote from Alfredton to thank Kathy Trace for the birthday card which he very much appreciated.

Barry Kilmartin emailed to pass on his thanks to Kathy Trace for his birthday greetings.

Also to the President and Committee members for their good work keeping us up to date with former colleagues

Graeme King emailed to say that the new format Newsletter looks great and is easy to read. Graeme passes on his congratulations to Eamon and Anne for a job well done. Unfortunately he has not managed to attend any of the luncheons for quite some time due to family commitments, but certainly enjoys keeping abreast of things via the regular newsletter.

Ailsa Mackie wrote to thank Kathy Trace for the good wishes she received on her birthday card.

Past President John McPhee emailed that in the USA old west they boasted that their pony express would get their mail through. At ANZROC’ we go one better. We have Kathy Trace who, despite politics, holidays and every thing else, the mail arrives spot on time. Thanks Kathy.

Dennis Murphy emailed to pass on his thanks to Kathy Trace and the committee for the “big” birthday greetings. Dennis spent the time with a few days in Singapore with one of his sons and his family who were returning from holiday in Vietnam, then on returning had another celebration with his Melbourne son and family. Fortunately health remains good so allows his overseas travel plans to continue. Last year it was India mostly down South in Karalla, Goa and then in October off to USA for a wedding of his niece held in Orlando at Disney World but also went to Boston and New York beforehand. Dennis is now off to Europe in May/June with the highlight going to Stuttgart to visit the Mercedes Benz Museum and also a factory tour of the plant there.

Glyn Parry-Jones passes on his thanks to Kathy for his birthday greetings. The card was waiting for him on his and Janet’s return from their autumn visit to the north-east of the state. This is a regular caravanning trip, this year to Bright, enjoyed with friends and ex-colleagues David Penhall and his wife Jill, Rod Willard and his wife Jeni and this year Geoff Court and his wife Lorraine. A very relaxing and enjoyable time was had with drives around the beautiful country, regular strolls into town for coffee and the occasional glass of red wine by the campfire.

Tony Pompilio sent a brief email to say thank you to ANZ ROC (Vic) for his birthday card this year.

Denis Rice emailed his thanks for the birthday card, which arrived on time (great job Kathy) .

John Taylor emailed his thanks for the kind greetings on his 80th birthday and a special thank you to Kathy Trace for the card which arrived on the day.

June Thompson wrote to thank Kathy Trace and the ANZROC committee for the birthday wishes conveyed in the attractive newly designed card.

Gren Tonzing wrote in response to the reference to Alan Burt OAM in the February newsletter. Gren lived next door to Alan in Mildura in 1950/51 and Alan suggested that he apply to join ES&A. After a social game of tennis one night Gren wrote an application on his kitchen table which resulted in a job interview in Melbourne within two weeks and starting in the bank about mid January 1951.Gren was 15 and a half years old. He transferred from Mildura in late 1951 to Junior at Camberwell and lost contact with Alan and was saddened to hear of Alan’s health problems. Gren went on to have an interesting career in the bank working in branches and State Administration in Staff Department and Methods and Procedures Office for Victoria. He was seconded to Chief Accountant’s Department to work with ANZ staff for the merger between ANZ and ES&A. He was subsequently appointed as Assistant Manager Warrnambool in 1972 and resigned in 1975 as indications were that a transfer to Melbourne was imminent which Gren did not want. He has been a Warrnambool resident for the past 44 years. He looks forward to receiving the newsletter which he finds very interesting.

BANKS ROWING CLUB

Banks Rowing Club is celebrating its 150th Anniversary at the Melbourne Cricket Club on September 2nd 2016. We are trying to locate all people who have had a relationship with the club to attend. For those who do not know the rowing club, it was established by the Colonial bankers in 1866. The financial leaders of the time agreed that young bankers needed exercise, and rowing was also a better pastime than hanging around the beer halls, pool halls and dare I say it “brothels”.

150 years of rowing

Date: Friday September 2 2016

Venue: Melbourne Cricket Club

Wives and partners most welcome
