Dear Andrew

Good to hear from you and to get news about our “old” colleagues. I am five months in to well over a year of long service leave and really (really!) enjoying it. I do miss some (but not all..) of my colleagues. I am spending time building a shed for a workshop at home and doing more with my grandchildren. I have seen too many friends and colleagues work and work and then get a serious illness and die – and I have plans to use the next however many years I have doing non-medical stuff. I am still doing a list one afternoon a week in private and I have just got back from an open heart trip to Tonga ( www.ohi.org.au ) – I will miss these trips having made over 40 of them over the last 25 years. I think my last trip will be in May 2016 when I will do my 20th trip to Fiji.

I met up with Chris Needs and Mike Freelander a couple of months ago – both well and active. 

Take care

David
