In November 2007 we held our second family reunion at Norris Bank Park in Bundoora and we had a good attendance of 72 which we thought was excellent with so many family interstate and overseas, surprisingly the number of descendents from George & Stanley now numbers 166, this includes spouses of family members.
Robert Wood produced a new and up-to-date family tree which can be accessed via this web site which Robert keeps up to date. Thanks to Robert for this. Also a special thanks to Chris Robb who again organised all the family photos many of which appear on the web site. For those who have not checked this site for some time they would be surprised of its content, so check it out.
Betty Lyell recently had a knee reconstruction done, she was operated on at the Ararat Hospital and is now home recovering.
