News Snippets –
Paul Lupi reports that on Friday 18/7/08 Noel Humphreys, John McCormack, Barney Davoren, John Cloake and Himself met for lunch at the Stanley Hotel Kilcoy. A great time was had by all as they discussed many and varied topics. It was decided that at the next lunch they would have a fund raiser to get Jim Kelly a “spell checker” for his computer. They drew straws to see who would inform Jim of this and Paul lost.
Jim Kelly says thanks Paul, that’s terrific- feedback and all donations gratefully accepted.
Chris Wadeson had lunch with Dela, Jim Kelly and Adrian Crowe at Tatt’s Mixed, Healy Room at Noon on Tuesday 22 July. Peter Cleary couldn't stay for lunch but popped in for a good chat. Chris and his family were on their way to Port Douglas for a few warm weeks in the away from that icy Christchurch KIWI town
At the Nudgee First XV’s final match, Scrooge and Dela did a lap of Ross Oval and sat on the Small Stand under the trees. They saw a few teacher and chaps like Ron Uhr from NC63 but no NC62 blokes!
Were were you Wade
, Chagoury, Crowie and
John Kelly
to name a few?? John
Howard
said he was coming down for the match, to help push the team over the line, as
well. Great job John.
Some
felt that Br
Wall,
RIP, guided that dropkick, after the bell, through the posts to win the match.
Greg McDermott reckoned that Crowe’s comment and the 2008 Nudgee rugby, see attached, results were reminiscent of 1962 v BBC & John O’Brien’s Field Goal! Good on ya John
Crowie and Clarke thank you for the work and time you put in during the GPS season, in e-mailing the results weekly and the Stirling job done.
Br Wall RIP - You will be saddened to learn of the recent death of Br Wall
Br Vick Larkham advises that Br Wall died aged 88 in the Holy Spirit Hospital on Friday, 25 July 2008. Br Vick was with him and said he passed peacefully. His funeral was on the following Wednesday, 30 July 2008 at the Nudgee Chapel. He was buried in the Christian Brother’s plot at the Nudgee Cemetery
For the last 3 years Br Wall had resided at the Carseldine Aged Home. Many of you will remember Br Wall from your tour of the Nudgee Archives at our NC62 40th and 45th Reunions. Br Wall, a champion of and the reason for the Nudgee Archives, was associated with Nudgee for 27 years and was Manager of the First XV for some time. May he rest in peace. Please remember Br Wall in your prayers.
You will also be saddened to learn of the death of Timothy Clifford on 6 August 2008. Tim was aged 63 and lived at Pelican Waters. His funeral was held on Tuesday 12 August 2008 from St Bernard’s Catholic Church Clump Rd Upper Mt Gravatt.
The Church was full with over 100 mourners. Tim’s brother, Ellis Clifford, was the celebrant accompanied on the altar by Bishop Gerrick and Frs Joe Oudeman, Ian Wren, Kerry Bliss and Kev Ryan. Nudgee representation included Tony Walsh, Kevin and Jim Kelly from Class of 1962, John Daniels, John Lutteral, Jim Grey and Tim’s other brother Neville Clifford, of course
