Twisted Evil I am looking for information an some old 'one talks'. Hope someone out there in 'white mafia' land will be able to provide the data. I am looking for : Les Gilbee, Thomas Edward Clark and Bear Smythe.
Just want to touch base and shoot the breeze.

To the rest of the 'old salts' looking forward to seeing you all at the reunion.

Bill, how ya going

I spoke with Thomas Edward about 3 weeks ago he works on the Tassie ferrys with a few other guys such as Snoppy Hyde. He operates out of Melb and I passed on the reunion info to him. If you ring Tassie ferrys they will take you message and hopefully Tom will get back to you.

Catch you all at the big one go dons Razz :D

Craig,

Do you know how long Snoopy has been working on the ferries?
I have bumped into him a few times over the years up here in Brisbane. I still thought he was servicing fire extinguishers. but it must be over five years since i saw him last. Shocked :)

Regards Cliff

Snoopy was still working the extinguishers in Sept/Oct last year when we had our 12th Leeuwuin re-union .
Couldn't get over it, take away the beard and he looked no different than he did when we were 15. Confused

I was wondering if anybody knows where ex LSCK Rick Kendall ended up or if he is going to the Reunion.

I bumped into him about 10 years ago in Brisbane and he was driving trucks(a car carrier) :)

Cliff,
Rick's not on the list of Cooks but that isn't definative that he won't be at the reunion.
The last I heard he was in Qld.

Cheers.........Ray
