A letter from an old friend

Dear Folk at Wongutha

It was really good to receive the Wongutha Newsletter after a lengthy break.

Whilst we do not now know many of the names of the students or even the staff, it was lovely to read of your 50th anniversary celebrations.

My (Grahame’s) contact with Wongutha began in 1956 when I was a young cadet surveyor, working on the subdivison of the Crown land at the end of the Gibson Road. So I knew Rod Schenk and John May well and even old Blue, the truck! We both remember Rod and Ruth’s wedding since on their way back to Esperance they stayed overrnight in our camp on the Calyerup Rockhole when I was working on the Crown Land between Ravensthorpe and Jerramungup.

The work at Wongutha has advanced wonderfully and we still pray for you all. Please continue to send us the Newsletter, we do
appreciate it.

May our good God grant you blessing and the encouragement of increase.
