Dear Viv, Rob, those who were at the wondrous WOSonOS at Marysville and All

What tragic times for everyone associated with this lovely country town 
and its region not far from Melbourne. Fr Brian and his committee made 
the inspired decision to stage the first WOS in Australia in the 
beautiful Marylands Hotel close to the town. For much joy was 
experienced both in the formally opened space and in the associated 
activities. Among these, as Larry has mentioned, were night walks in the 
surrounding forests to spot possums and other tree dwelling animals.

My thoughts go to those who have suffered such terrible personal 
devastation and loss and to all the people of Australia.

The memories of happy times and friendships renewed and forged among the 
OS community live on.

With love

Alan
