Linden Park 50 year reunion group

Bryan was treasured by his old Linden Park Primary School contemporaries. He had kept in touch with many –  given that he knew just about everyone in Adelaide and had kept up a number of friendships from school days.

The Linden Park 50 year reunion in 2012 was  a huge success  with Bryan and  his committee succeeding in locating about 80 of the 100 old scholars who were still alive. Over 50 came to the reunion – which was a joyous event and which gave rise to many rekindled friendships and further dinners. Bryan was the driving force. His perpetual good cheer made it happen and helped make it very special.

Out of the 50 year reunion came the idea to write two books “Our Fathers’ and “Our Mothers’ about our extraordinary parents and their formative experiences (on them and us) as a result of the depression and World War 2. Both books were written by old scholars from the reunion and published by Wakefield Press. Bryan’s work in finding, collating and presenting the photos for both books made them even more special.

We will miss him greatly as our very dear friend and at our future reunions.
