  17. Uncle Bruce ,always remembered as one of the Parrots in the footy grand final in Leongatha and his 21st birthday party ,where the place was rocking with Cubby Checkers let’s twist again.
    On one of his trips to Broken Hill we went out to Silverton and at the time I was light enough to brush my head on the roof liner through the dips ,no seat belts in those days .
    Fond memories that have ended all too soon as I fully expected to celebrating his 80th one day .
    He will remain in my memories all my days.
