Eileen's Sixtieth!
Eileen writes in an email 21 September, 2005 and entitled Birthday Surprised:
Hi:
A quick hello to catch up with responses to all the messages sent in for my birthday. I guess most of you know that you haven't been around long enough to be 60, either!
The party was a huge surprise and the logistics and coordination required to get me from Beulah (400kms north west of Melbourne) to Canberra (bus, train and airplane) via Melbourne without me suspecting anything was nothing short of military precision planning!.......or age-related inattention to detail!!!
Thank you all for your wishes. It was such a buzz to hear from everyone. I also got an email from Brian Fraser, but didn't get the return email address....if anyone is in touch, please pass on my thanks.
Great to have you there in messages!
Cheers
Eileen

Yes, Eileen, your email is correct: for us you are still Uvic Rad. Soc.'s winner as Campus Queen coming out from between those curtains, graceful and composed, to face a roar of applause and the non stop flicker of photographers' strobe lights!
