This 'pony' sized beer glass with the "Yallourn Hotel" monogram etched into it has another more interesting side to it. The initials "G.D.B." that's also etched into the glass stands for George Dixon Brown, the original licensee of the hotel. Those that don't remember George would probably remember or heard of "Ma Brown", George's wife who took over the license of the hotel after George died. It took me some time to find out what the initials "G.D.B." stood for but thanks must go to Pat Widdows for helping out in identifying it.

The final Save Yallourn Committee was the President, Joe Dell, Treasury, Honor Crane, and Secretary, Ted Hopkins. The two boxes of the entire information of Save Yallourn Committee was provided to me. As such, the boxes were placed in a shed of Greville Street 48-54 accommodation and offset printing places. A terrible problem occurred when the shed and boxes were fire burned (1979?). Just a selection of items were still available for the SLV and my residence.

STAN & DOUG BROWN

The first photograph (taken in 1969) shows a former popular sporting identity of Yallourn, Stan Brown with his son, Doug. Stan Brown was a star for Yallourn Football Club and played in the club’s last premiership in 1948. That season, Stan won the Kevin Comber award for the Most Improved Player.

Stan won a string of awards at YFC including the Most Consistent Player trophy in 1954 which was the inaugural (and momentous) season of the Latrobe Valley Football League.

John Wolff was an active member of the Swimming Club during the time I was involved in the 1960s.
He took part in a veterans 110 meters race at the age of 97 and was still doing his laps up until a few weeks before he passed away aged 103 and 11 months on Christmas day 2016.

This photograph was taken during a clay modelling/art lesson at Yallourn Technical School sometime in the mid 1950’s. Mr Walsh is the teacher; and the students include: Murray French (left hand side of the photograph) and probably/perhaps David Hoffman, Neville Gapes, Len Hilditch , David Grant and Malcolm Gibson.
Thanks to Murray French for his kind assistance in identifying some of the boys in the group. Any readers who recognise other students in the above photo are kindly asked to contact Julie . Thank you.
