Hello Janet, Our family, the Gillets were in the hostel from 1963-1965 and I remember your mum and dad very well and have wondered over the years how they were getting along and thanks to you now I know. Am not sure if you would remember our family but there is Susan who is now in Cranbourne, Dianne is in Adelaide, David is in Sunshine, Janet is in China and David is in Sunshine. Des and I live in Werribee. Des also gave up driving may years ago so I am the driver in the family.
We also are looking forward to the reunion and catching up with friends we made on the hostel.
Thanks for the update on your family.

Regards Olwen (Gillet)

I found Mr and Mrs Westhead in the phone book a few weeks ago, and had a lovely chat with them, especially Mrs Westhead. I asked her to pass the reunion information and this site info onto Janet, and she obviously has. I've been meaning to ring again to check as I thought she may not have written it down, so now I'll ring and thank her for letting Janet know. It's good to know that they, along with Janet will be at the reunion. Hopefully other family members will be there too.
