Cheers, Bill -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: INTERVIEW BY DOUG DINGWALL OF THE CANBERRA TIMES Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2019 21:12:32 +1100 Doug spoke to me this afternoon and advised that the article was being finished this afternoon and should be published in the next 2 or 3 days. I have read some of his articles in the CT in the last few days and he writes very well so I expect it will be a good article.

Apparently the ACT has a very high proportion of over 65 retirees when compared with the States and NT.? He did not do the follow up interview until yesterday afternoon because he had to cover the thunderstorm on Tuesday afternoon.? I now assume that the story will be in The Canberra Times supplement for oldies; I cannot recall what it is called exactly. The interview went for around 20 minutes and covered everything since I first arrived in Canberra in early 1962, including a comparison of the Canberra of 1962, with the Canberra of today, and why I decided to stay in Canberra when I retired.? On reflection, I should have used the phrase from The Castle, ?It?s the vibes?. Of the five people in the photo shoot, four were orienteers, Ann Ingwersen, Jack Palmer, Eino Meuronen and me. I have no idea what bits of the interview he will use and when it will appear; we shall just have to wait and see.? If the five in the photo were the only people interviewed, the story will be interesting because of the narrow selection of people, although the four of us would represent a wide cross section of interests and views. *For Ann*.? Was your interview similar? And *for Roy*.? Do you know if your Dad?s interview was similar? *For Eric*.? Even though you were there I don?t think you were interviewed.
