1963

Hello Pauline, I think it is Christine Vincent. I also think it may not be Niels but Ken Hutchinson (Niels brother) , also my guess is the girl on the extreme left ( looking at photo) is Robyn Adams. The boy in the back row 2nd from left is John? Humphries ( I think) and the boy on the right hand end is probably Geoff Dupree. The boy next to Geoff' is one of the Ellis boys ( I think)

Hi Kevin, You're right - Christine and Ken. The Ellis boy would have been Form 6. Over Christmas break I was reading about John Humphries, Professor at Monash University, probably retired now. The article said John does conservation work - has done some out here in Western Suburbs (I'm in Altona North) The young man in centre of photograph may be ? Skeleton.

John has done well then. It would be good to have a "where are they now session". I think the person may be Ian Skelton, I didnt really know him , but his Mother was friendly with my Mother. I believe he became a Doctor and was practicising in Traralgon for a while, he may still be there. I am still in the Latrobe Valley (Churchill) and travel to Traralgon reasonably often, must have a look next time. I am not sure whether Geoff Dupree is a professional artist or just a very good one, I have seen some of his work hanging in the Arbitration Commission in Nauru House. I think the "Ellis boy" may be Howard

Morning Kevin, Louise, daughter, works in Nauru House (started last September with Metro). Will ring her and get her to have a look.

Assuming four rows , the second from left in the very back row is Rodney Grant who was friends with Ken Hutchinson who is on his left. Niels Hutchinson is at the start of the third row.
