Sisters

Celia & Michele
Sandy and Chez organized the "Beauie block kids" lunch and again it was great catching up with people we played with over 50 years ago. 
Our parents had built the houses in an area "sooo far out of the city in Beaumaris- unmade roads and few amenities" to begin. While we were growing up there were so many places to play and meet up with those who lived in the little street that is Bruce Street. We think there were about 34 kids in the small street and its environs. Three families of six helped build the numbers!

Sandra and Cheryl
 Sandy and Chez and their little sister Linda were our next door neighbours. We like to try to catch up each year but this year was particularly important to meet and raise a glass to Tony who was at the last gathering out the group. It was also our chance for a "wake" as none of us had been able to go to my borther's funeral in Perth, WA nearly 5 months ago.

Alan and Gerry
 Alan was the brave bloke to come along to the lunch and her brought his sister Gerry. But as he pointed out his whole life has been surrounded by women as he has four sisters.  Hopefully next time at least two more of his sisters will make it to the lunch back in Beaumaris next time!
