Dear blokes an' all,

I thought that this article which is about to appear in the Canberra 
Times might interest you as you are all over 65, or interested in being 
over 65!

Cheers,

Bill

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.

    Hi John
    Re your call for over 65s to be at Remembrance Park on Tuesday for a
    photo shoot, to which I responded, I gained the impression that it
    was to be about oldies keeping active and fit, but when the
    reporter, Doug Dingwall, called me for the follow up interview I
    discovered it was about why people settle and retire in Canberra. 
    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.
    Cheers
