ANZROC (Vic) NEWSLETTER 8th June 2017

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

We had a great turnout of 54 Members and Partners for our June lunch at the Glasshouse next to Caulfield Race course. The food and service was excellent so thanks once again to Noel Beanland and the social committee for organising the venue. It was good to catch up with Greg Hondromatidis at his first meeting after retirement and reminisce about the IT/EDP systems and people. Also great to see David Knuckey for his first meeting in a long time and to hear that he is assisting Noel with organising the next couple of Country meetings. It was very difficult at the venue to do the normal formalities because of the noise but we are sad that 5 of our Members passed away in May and we extend our condolences to their families.

Members not seen for some time apart from Greg Hondromatidis and David Knuckey were Helen Bouch, Keith Findlay, Trevor King also for his first ANZROC meeting, Jacqui Luckman, Joe Maggiore, Mary Nicolazzo, Joe Romano, Rose Virgona, Jill Ward, Roger Watkins, and Carole Whiting while Robin and Dorothy Chase and Aldo and Karen Faella travelled from Geelong and Torquay to be with us.

We have used our Membership database to identify further areas where a Regional lunch would be worthwhile and the Mornington Peninsula is an obvious choice. Peter Pritchard will be driving this but if any Member in the Mornington area is interested in organising a lunch ANZROC would be happy to support it.

For those who have had an association with our London Office the latest Pensioners Newsletter has been published on our Website and Facebook page. There will be many names and photos in there that some of you will recognise.

The tragic events in London Bridge last week were a bit close to home as the events unfolded on the doorstep of the former ANZ Grindlays office at Minerva House. Many of the pubs mentioned in the news reports such as the Market Porter, Wheatsheaf and Mudlark would be well know to many of our Members who have visited London. Thankfully none of our colleagues there were affected.

I look forward to seeing you at our next meeting at Mulgrave Country Club on July 13.

Regards

Eamon

BEREAVEMENTS

ABRAHAM M.W. (MURRAY) 91 years 12/5/2017

ANZROC members were well represented at the large gathering of family and friends at the funeral service for Murray where I met Frank Edwards, Tony Grayling, Con La Fucia, Ken Lee, Jack Moyle, Gary Mason, Ian Newstead, Tommy Taylor and Frank Wells,

Will Bailey emailed “What a character!! Murray and his late friend Ian O’Donahue tried to lead me astray many times (occasionally they did.)The watering holes close to the Markets or in the western end of the CBD (Murray’s branch in Little Collins St) were great spots. Wonderful memories. RIP Murray.”

Ken Bleakney wrote “I was saddened to hear of the passing of Murray Abraham. I first met Murray in 1971 when taking up my appointment at Boronia branch where he was the Manager. Over the two year period of my stay at Boronia I got to know Murray well. He was very personable with a quick wit, supportive and well liked by all staff and customers alike. We kept up contact into the early 80’s when we both worked in the CBD. He was Manager Museum Station branch. Last saw him in January of this year for his 91st birthday. He was still in good spirits. A fine man and great banker.”

Frank Edwards emailed “Another sad loss. Abe was a true gentleman who was one of the organising group for the ES&A annual luncheon. He would ring me each year to check whether I would be attending and, being Abraham, always finished our chat with "Shalom". I'll miss him.”

Gary Mason emailed “Sad news indeed. I visited Murray (“Honest Abe”) at Samarinda a month ago. He was in fine form at the time. He was a very friendly chap and liked by all. Murray was Manager Boronia in the 1970s and inherited quite a number of difficult customers whose (nearly bad) debts had been stagnant for some time. Murray’s tactic was to write a letter to them, page number 2 of which (there was never any page 1) read along the lines:

“You will realise Gerry [customer] that in view of the foregoing I must carry out the instructions and that will cause significant problems and inconvenience”

Invariably and immediately upon receipt of the letter the customer would get in touch with Murray and the discussions would more or less be long the following lines:

“I just got your letter Murray. What’s going on?”

To which Murray would reply:

“It’s all in the letter Gerry. The instructions are quite clear and with serious consequences”

Gerry:

“But I only received page 2 Murray”

Murray:

“I shall speak to my Secretary and get her to re-send the letter Gerry”

Gerry:

“Is there something I can do to avoid getting into trouble?”

Murray:

“Well Gerry, if you can pay in $10 a week I will see if I can forestall any action”.

Gerry:

“I shall pay in $20 later today and I will ensure that at least $10 goes in weekly until the debt is cleared”.

Murray did a grand job sorting out many such problem customers.

Thanks for the memories Murray”

Kevin Mitchell said that Murray always attended ES&A Reunion every year until his health declined; he had not been well over the last 2 years. Kevin subsequently emailed ” I joined the ES&A Bank Melbourne Office on 1 Dec 1959 the year that Nescafe Instant Coffee had become popular with drinkers, and the catch cry was Olay/ Nescafe. Murray and I formed a lifetime friendship greeting each other with whoever got in first would say Olay, while the other was left to say, Nescafe. Murray was a wonderful friend with a great sense of humour. Olay Murray, my turn to get in first. “

Bruce Tickell said he knew Murray when Murray was Manager Footscray branch. A real character.

ATKINSON BERNARD (BERNIE) 80 years 16/5/2017

Speaking with Trish Atkinson she said that Bernie joined the ES&A Bank at 388 Collins Street, transferred to 394 Collins Street (now Sebel Hotel) and then to AHQ at 55 Collins Street .Bernie crossed paths with Kevin Mitchell and Roger Watkins during his 40 years in the Bank. Bernie was an accomplished musician and was the drummer in the band that often played for ES&A and ANZ social functions when Kevin Mitchell was Secretary of the ANZ Staff Social Club.

BURT B.P. (BARRY) 71 years 25/5/2017

Barry’s sister Kate said that Barry spent his early career mainly in Melboune branches, time as Manager Leongatha as well as three trips to New Guinea and finally working in Lending Administration in Melbourne before retiring to live in Geelong.

ANZROC member Peter Williams from Ballarat said that in the 80’s Barry was Manager Mount Hagen PNG when Peter was in Administration in Port Moresby and they formed a longstanding friendship. Barry was transferred into Port Moresby after Peter had left New Guinea.

Arthur Vale said that Barry was very helpful to him when Barry was involved in lending in Port Moresby in 1985 and they have been firm friends ever since. Arthur said that while Barry was in Lending Administration he was responsible for collecting outstanding debts throughout Victoria.

LEAN E.A. (ERIC) 94 years 7/5/2017

Eric enlisted in the AIF in October 1941 and on discharge in August 1946 was Corporal, 20th Australian Line Section.

Eric was a contributor to the newsletters and attended our lunches until the family moved to NSW and subsequently to Mudgeeraba in Queensland and the thanksgiving service for Eric was held in Batemans Bay in late May with RSL and the Masonic Lodge participating.

SHARMAN W.N. (NEIL) 79 years 17/5/2017

John Brown and wife Jan attended Neil Sharman’s funeral service. Margaret Forrest was there along with ANZROC members, Brian Day, John Flyger, Val Goldsworthy, Stan Halbish, Barry King and Dick Sanders. As Neil wanted, it was a simple service, with family tributes from Neil's son John and his grandson, Dean.

Dick Sanders emailed “I have known Neil for many years. On one instance it was when I was appointed Accountant Elsternwick in 1968. David Rome had already left to take up his new appointment and Neil was there for a few days. I walked in; Neil passed me a bunch of keys, wished me good luck and was out the door. A very swift handover, eh!”

Geoff Stillman emailed “Neil and I had more than a working relationship and I am saddened by his passing. Condolences to his family.”

We were also sorry to hear that our Secretary Vicky Genius’s mother passed away this week after a long illness. Condolences to Vicky and her family.

John Brown saw on Facebook that Chris Atwell passed away on 25/5/2017 after a long illness. Chris would have been known by many of our members.

Pam Brown widow of our late member Roger Brown wrote "The family and I thank the ANZROC

Members for their support in attending Roger’s funeral. Their sympathy and kindness was greatly

appreciated”

I can also report that the Albert Park Football Club had a special day on 3rd of June to commemorate the passing of Brian Christensen who was the last founding member and life member of ANZ Bank/Albert Park Football Club and a staunch supporter at most games with wife Noelle right to the end. The Albert Park Football Club still have a strong ANZ Bank FC presence and great respect for past players of ANZ. So much so the club rooms and bar are named after Brian Christensen and Jet Jackson .ANZROC members and partners in attendance for this special occasion included Nev and Cheryl Pearson, John and Pat Bloom, Bill (Jet) and Bev Jackson, Roy and Judy Peake and of course Noelle Christensen with her family .

LETTERS

Will Bailey emailed “I read the note that advised of John Gibson’s passing.

I worked with John in the SA Administration of the Scottie in the mid ’70’s when I was the Assistant State Manager. He was an integral part of the happy group working with State Manager, Keith Crellin, and fellow Regional Manager, Bryan O’Callaghan. John was in charge of the NT when Cyclone Tracey hit Darwin. He was a dedicated banker and an excellent leader which all showed through in the challenge he faced after the Cyclone. He later became Manager 394 Collins Street Melbourne before retiring in Sydney. A delightful workmate. “Gary Mason added “In 1984 the late John Gibson was an Assistant State Manager Victoria (Ron Horne was State Manager).”

Darryl Bartlett emailed “Thank you for the birthday card, a job done to perfection by Kathy. April 15th just passed, marked the 60th anniversary of the day I commenced work with ANZ at Korong Vale branch, also my 20th year in retirement. On reflection, it was a privilege to be a banker over that particular era, gaining work satisfaction and experience, also life time friendships. How the workplace has changed today!. Our annual trip to Fiji last July/August, visiting our Daughter and grandsons, now teenagers, was enjoyable, particularly the warm weather, also having a week each at The Radisson, Treasure Island and Hideaway Resorts. Ronda and I have recently returned from SA where we spent a lovely 5 days cruising the Murray on the “Proud Mary”. We are now organising our next trip for July/August to Fiji experiencing different resorts as well as staying with the family in their new home which they have just moved into after 2 years of construction (Fiji time!).

Best wishes to all ANZROC committee and members.”

Wendy Black emailed “I've finished the typing of my father's WW1 diaries and I have now donated the original diaries to the Victoria State Library. The contents of Dad's 1916, 1917, 1918 and 1919 diaries and also the typed version are now in the care of the Collections section at the State Library as is the illustrated book I transcribed. The book has been digitised and can be read online so should be available to readers for many years to come, A big task, but a very satisfying one after all the work involved knowing these documents will be looked after in the future.

Dave Brookman wrote “I was sorry to read of Gerry Kennedy’s passing. I knew Gerry over a great number of years during our Banking Service. He had his traumatic experiences being a tragic Magpies supporter but he was a good friend and will be sadly missed by his many banking associates. He had many nostalgic memories of the Tungamah, St James and Lake Rowan regions of Victoria.”

Mike Cooper emailed “Would you please pass on to Kathy Trace and Committee my thanks for birthday wishes. Like all fellow officers, I eagerly await the monthly newsletter for update on the lives of my former workmates. Very little to report myself except 4/5 caravan trips each year, with one Unit based trip to the Gold Coast to ease the burden of our southern winter.”

Brian Day emailed “My thanks to our President, Committee and Members for their good wishes on the occasion of my recent special birthday and a thank you to Kathy Trace for ensuring it arrived on the day concerned. When retiring from the Bank 27 years ago little did I think that I would reach the age of 80 years and join the special ranks of honorary members of ANZROC. Where have all those years gone? So many of those great men and ladies whom I had the pleasure of working with have sadly passed on. Celebrations with Family and friends lasted over a period of four days at the end of which I felt as though I had aged another 10 years!! Once again thank you all for your kind thoughts they have been greatly appreciated.”

Secretary Vicky Genius emailed “I received my ANZROC card right on my birthday which fell on a Monday this year. Having other commitments on the day I planned lunch later in the week with friends at a new café 3 mins walk from my house. I guess a few red wines are in order, it’s cold and I don’t have to drive.”

Terry Glover emailed “Please pass on my thanks to Kathy for the birthday card. It was the first received and very much appreciated. Regards to all the team for doing a great job keeping us informed of what's happening to our mates from ANZ.”

Teresa Goldsbrough emailed “Please register my apologies for June, July and September luncheons.

Had been looking forward to June at Caulfield however going to Adelaide to visit unwell, aged mother and may not be home in time for July get together. In early September begin a 400 km walk in Italy, from Lucca to Rome so not home in time for the September luncheon.

To date this year has involved visits to Adelaide, and just over two weeks touring China. An amazing trip, covering 2,500 kms from Hong Kong to Zhengzhou then basically followed the Silk Road by coaches, and fast trains to Urumqi in deep North West China near the Mongolian border. An opportunity to successively experience different geography, cultures, people and amazing food. Leaving the Silk Road at Urumqi, flights on to panda country in Jiuzhaigou Valley [Valley of Nine Fortified Villages] to experience some walking within this beautiful national park before moving onto Chengdu. A modern, bustling city and home to the large panda centre, and renowned chilli hot pots!”

Val Goldsworthy wrote “I have to thank ANZROC and in particular Kathy Trace for the welcome birthday card. The years do roll on. I shared a yummy birthday cake with a great niece born the day before my own special day. The cake was adorned with just two candles- now that is diplomacy”

Wayne Hulbert emailed “Bernadette and I would like to put in our apologies for the June, July and August meetings as we will be exploring Western Australia and the Northern Territory in our 4WD and new Tvan. We will be revisiting some places as well as going to many new places that we have yet to see, so we are quite excited. We plan on being back to go to the Ballarat meeting in September.”

Peter Keating emailed “I received Kathy’s birthday wishes on behalf of ANZROC 2 days late, but realised I’d not advised my change of address. Wendy and I have recently moved to 5 acres near Romsey after 10 years in an apartment close to the city. It’s quite a change, but the growing number of boys’ toys is proving great fun. The quiet, fresh air and exercise are fantastic.”

Bob Maughan emailing from Perth said “I was saddened beyond belief to receive a telephone call from Kerrie the daughter of Roger Brown to advise of the passing of her father. A brave call on her behalf. On putting down the phone tears flowed on the loss of a dear much loved friend and workmate over many years. We were appointed Senior Managers within Esanda on the same day Roger, to a post in AHQ and me to NSW. Later we came to work together at Esanda Vic /TAS Region with the late Graeme Hockey and Rod Anstee, Roger was one of the most loyal supportive and honest people I have ever known who always saw the best in everyone. It is often said you could trust someone with your life. I would have no hesitation in saying this was true with Roger.

He was a very competitive person and had a strong sporting background. We often played golf together sometimes with late Brian Christensen and as much as we tried Roger always seemed to emerge the winner. After Retirement Therese Barwick, who was our wonderful HR Manger for a period, Graeme Hockey, Rod Anstee, Richard Auhl and myself enjoyed regular 'Board Luncheons' together. We solved the problems of the World and very much enjoyed each others company assisted of course by a good red wine! Roger was a great and very proud family man always keen to keep us up to date with life's progress for Kerrie and Michelle who could not have been loved more.

His beautiful wife Pam was the centre of his universe and their life together a perfect marriage.

She and her family are very much the centre of Joan's and my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Rest in peace Dear Friend you will be greatly missed but not forgotten.”

Ian McRobinson attended the funeral service for Roger Brown and said that they had had a close working relationship over many years in Esanda and he will miss his good friend.

Maria Natoli emailed “This is a belated thank you to Kathy and the team for my birthday card. I had a lovely family celebration at home with all the family, plus a couple of lunches with friends.

My trip last year to Croatia and Eastern Europe was very enjoyable. I'm not planning any overseas trips for this year. I spent a great few days in Sydney in April, and I'm looking forward to a visit to Canberra in October. I'm continuing to keep busy with various activities, but my favourite pastime is being with my two delightful great-nieces.”

Peter Nielipowiec wrote from Strathdale “I was deeply shocked and saddened at the passing of one of my best friends Norman better known as Tony Wingrave on 30/4/2017. Due to my own health I wasn’t able to attend Tony’s funeral in Mooroopna on 9/5/2017 but I was there in spirit. Tony and I met when I was at Mt Beauty Branch 39 years ago. One occasion when both of us were attached to North East Vic Relieving Staff both of us turned up at Mansfield Branch to relieve the Manager. Tony with his quick wit tossed a coin and I relieved the Manager and he stayed to help out at the branch. During this period he and I looked at each other to discover we were the only ones left at work as all the permanent staff had gone home. We had fun times at the PWE functions held in the North East of Victoria at various places. I met his wife Rosemary, their two sons Paul and Brett and later their families. I was so happy for Tony when his beloved Footscray won the 2016 AFL flag. Tony will be stab kicking the football with two of his mates John Peck and Ted Whitten. My wife Nola and I can’t believe Tony’s gone”.

Ken Nielson acknowledged receipt of his birthday card which was much appreciated.

Peter Nyga emailed “Another birthday has come and gone and, as always, Kathy was prompt in reminding me that I’m a year older. Thank you, Kathy, for the card. A nice restaurant lunch overlooking yachts (what else?) and water was had at Mornington. “

Coralie O’ Donahoo writing from Noosa Heads said “I was so sorry to read about Alwynne Kirkpatrick’s passing. I first met him in the ES&A Bank in the early 50’s. I was his secretary in the 70’s, after John Jennings retirement , until he was appointed Assistant Managing Director. He was always a kind and considerate man and a banker of the old school. Vale AGK.”

Ron Pitt talking to John Brown said “at 94 years of age he is going along OK, but was knocked around a bit by a bout of pneumonia a while back and is not as active as he would like. His phone number is 9570 3686 and he would be happy to hear from any old workmates”.

Alan Podger emailed “My computer skills have really not improved in the last 12 months, but, thank you sincerely for the “On time” birthday greeting card including the wish for good health and happiness. The transfer to “down sizing” at Camberwell has worked out extremely well for both of us and after a solid 12 months of adjustments my bowling ability is the one item yet to improve.”

Barry Rogers emailed “Please thank Kathy and committee for their good wishes for my 79th. Still going strong and enjoying life, family and travel very much. Regards to all.”

Les Roberts phoned from Portland to thank Kathy Trace for the birthday card for his 80th which was celebrated in style. Les said he had spent many years in RSL, Rotary and Probus as well as delivering meals for Meals on Wheels in the Portland region. He is a very keen fisherman and has been making “flies” for local fishermen which have proven to be popular with the tuna fishermen. Les said he is happy to make flies for any type of fish at no cost to members and if any ANZROC fishermen/women want to talk to Les he can be contacted on 5523 1054,

Terry Stapleton emailed from Cremorne NSW “I thank Kathy Trace for the birthday card which arrived in good time and for the good wishes from the ANZ Retired Officers’ Club (Vic). Maureen and I have had a busy year although Maureen is not as active as she was and I now have a few more home duties. I am still reasonably fit and continue to maintain a vegetable garden as well as play tennis once a week with some other old blokes. Later this year I plan to have a boating trip down around Mildura with 3 other old blokes from The Wine and Food Society of NSW.

I still enjoy Reading the monthly Newsletter and see lots of names I recall from other days when I was down south......I send my best regards to the President, Committee and Members.”

Geoff Stillman emailed “Just to say thankyou to Kathy for the Birthday Card which as usual arrived on time.”

Kevin Toohey emailed “A belated thanks for my birthday card which arrived on time as usual. I wanted to mention that Maureen and I went to Gerry Kennedy’s funeral service recently (Gerard Majella – named by two maiden aunts after the Patron Saint of Mothers - a long story) at St Cecilia’s Catholic Church in Glen Iris. It was a lovely service with a relatively short eulogy. He didn’t want a fuss made as he didn’t want to be instantly “canonised” as he considered some eulogy’s tended to do. I could understand this as I recall as Bill Clerk at Collingwood branch in the early 60’s when he, as Accountant and Dave Scroggie, as Manager, together with a retinue of regular “important” customers met on Fridays for their “business” luncheon. They must have discussed a lot of business because they took a fair while. So Gerry was no saint but he was a lovely fellow. With Gerry everything was “very contrapuntal”. The fact that he was a fellow Collingwood supporter had no bearing on my regard for him.

I see also that John Gibson has passed away. He was Manager at 394 Collins St branch when I worked there in the late 70’s. John had a great presence and was in the habit of visiting every Department on a regular basis (much to the chagrin of some staff who thought he was just checking up on them). He was a very personable man who I admired very much. Vale John.”

June Thompson wrote to thank the committee and Kathy Trace for the card received on her recent birthday which June spent going out enjoyably with friends.

Mike Vallence emailed “Thank you to Kathy for the Birthday Card much appreciated.”

Roger Watkins wrote “Thank you very much Kathy for your efforts in sending my birthday card with its good wishes and needless to say it arrived on time. I spent the night of my birthday at the evening meal with most of my family and prepared by a very capable sister in law who was in Melbourne to visit my wife Margaret who moved into care late last year, We still have 4 sons and their families enjoying good health and as a result there are 14 grandchildren and by Christmas expect to have 13 great grandchildren also very healthy. I am now 86 but do not feel my age . I hope to be able to attend the future monthly luncheons.”

John White emailed “A brief note of thanks for your birthday card which, as usual, arrived on the correct day. Keep up the good work with the Newsletter which is always a great read.”
