Trip to Bribie Island

Posted by Linda Goss-Wallace

I met up with Bernie Wilson a Rotarian who I met 37 years ago when I led a Rotaract Exchange team to Brisbane. We'd been in touch on Facebook, and finally met again in person just yesterday, the first time in 37 years. We were staying on Bribie Island visiting family, and attended the Bribie Island Rotary Markets this morning and Bernie roped me in to helping sell bacon & egg sandwiches at their fundraising stall.

Parting Thought

Paddy provided the parting thought at the end of our meeting -

"But for the grace of God go I. There is always someone worse off than you"

John Bradford
