Update on update on....
Australia to host first Grand Prix in 2007
Australia will host the opening race of the 2007 Formula One season, local organisers announced on Friday. The race will be held at Melbourne's Albert Park track on March 18, pending final confirmation from the sport's world governing body, Australian Grand Prix Corporation Chairman Ron Walker said.
So, if this report is confirmed, we will be looking at a reunion date based on the weekend of March 24 -25, 2007. For people who need a definite date in order to start making plans, let's work to this date.
Thank you to the people who sent cards or emails on the occasion of my 60th birthday on July 17. Some people have extremely long memories, or else there has been a bit of correspondence going on behind my back. And thanks to Marg for organising a night out, which I was quite happy to avoid, but she insisted should happen.
It was during that night that Marg's work in looking for Barb Rozsa (Cooper) bore fruit when, as we were having dinner, Barb telephoned Marg. She and Andrew are retired and have moved out of Melbourne, and are living on the Mornington Penninsla at Sorrento. They have a daughter who has inherited the "travel genes". In an email Barb said:
I mentioned to Marg there was a girl named Sandy (can't remember maiden name) who went only London-Venice. I ran into her about 20 years ago and kept in touch until about 10 years ago, so when I remember her married name I'll try to contact her.
Can anyone help Barb on this?
Peter Ide has sent this larger size photo of the groups arrival in Melbourne in November 1971.
Some fine looking specimens.
