Andrew Byrne .. (OLD POST)

I have had some lovely visits with Miriam (Jucovic) and Arnold Van Rooijen lately ... also spent a few fun days with Annabelle's (Farnsworth) eldest son Rob Hanson in New York (his younger brother Jim just turned 21!).  Bill Brooks remains a wonderful colleague, neighbour and dinner partner when I am ‘batching’ in Sydney from Bowral.  Bill Sewell is a fellow opera fan and also has looked after my personal pathology needs for over a decade.  Andy Csillag, likewise, is a St Vincent’s doctor (radiology) who has gone out of his way to be helpful when I really needed it most.  I also see Fiona Stewart at the opera openings where we mingle with the likes of Bronwyn Bishop.  

Mary K Dwyer, Colleen M Kane and Clive T Lovell are also Potts Point area neighbours who I regret I have not seen of late.  Clive has moved from Bondi Junction to Macquarie Street where he does general practice as well as Aviation Medicine.  

Margaret (McCluskie) and Peter Malcolm are Mittagong people.  Cheryl Headford is married to another well respected local GP Richard Hanbury and they have a Sydney place near Rushcutters Bay.  Marise (Hely) and Simon Grant are also Highlands neighbours.  Again, I see them far too seldom, especially considering we are so close. 

Zelko Mustac did a Redfern practice visit last month from Perth and we were delighted to catch up after so long.  He is a successful general psychiatrist in WA but verging on the addiction side of things with a few dependency cases.  He may be moving to Sydney soon. 

Thanks for the information about Sydney University.  I will also take a walk down memory lane some time soon in my lunch 'hour'.  Best regards, Andrew Byrne ..
