Hello Peter,
You have the correct Georgie. Her Lonsdale days were well before I came on the scene.

I think it is going to be a big funeral, South Chapel, Woronora Cemetery, 1100 Tuesday 01 Mar.

Steve

Hi Steve.
I remember Georgie with great fondness from those day. Take care. I hope that the final farewell is filled with all the love that her many friends can bring along.
I understand that she will be in the thoughts of many people at the WRANS Reunion this weekend in Melbourne.
I apologise for the double post above.
Fat finger problems

Not sure where this one should go but since it is related to tomorrow's funeral I cut and paste from Facebook to here

Not a crash hot day. First off pretty sad due to Georgina's funeral tomorrow in Sydney.

Now to top it all off Leanora drove in to town this morning to drop off some clothes that I needed to take to take with me to Sydney. When she arrived out side of the office in Lonsdale St she called to let me know that she was down stairs. I went down in the elevator and walked outside the building. I couldn't see Leanora but could hear someone screaming. It took me about a second to realise it was my wife that was doing the screaming and at the same time I saw our car being driven up Lonsdale St at speed being pursued by the police. I then saw Leanora standing on the footpath being comforted by a bunch of people. Some bloody #*^%#++!!!!! had hopped into the car while she was sitting in it waiting for me, pushed Leanora out of the car and took off with the car. Thankfully apart from being incredibly shaken up she is OK.

For those that don't know Lonsdale St it is where the courts are in Melbourne City and normally full of police. Somehow this piece of excrement has managed to elude them all.

To compound all of this the car had Leanora's house keys, handbag, purse, cards, phone, iPad, glasses and who knows what else in it. The thing that took it now has our home address so we have had to change locks, bar phones and cancel everything.

To reiterate apart from being shaken Leanora is remarkably well.

Latest news from the police is that the phone and iPad have been handed in, who knows where the car is. They say bad things come in threes, what next I wonder.

Anyone can be ordinary. Shipwrights choose to be extraordinary!

Bloody hell!! Glad Leonora is ok and I hope they get the bastard.

My wife now drives with all the doors locked when driving by herself, after reports of a few handbag snatches that occurred when the villains opened the front passenger door of cars driven by a lone woman driver, stopped at lights etc. They reached in and grabbed the hand bag from the front passenger seat along side the driver.

What happened to Leonora seems to be an escalation of this tactic. Cunning bastards!!

The most important part is that your wife is safe, the rest will become an annoyance you should not have been exposed to but you will over come that, look after each other.

Holy dooley Steve, this sort of shit usually only happens to 'other' people doesn't it.
Glad Leonara is safe and hopefully the perpetrator is caught and dealt with in a manner of which we all hope he does.
