Roger Spaull, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your effort ( as I'm sure many others do ) in bringing us some history of the Yallourn Football Club. You have done a lot of research and compiled easy to read articles. Alec Shaw got a mention in your latest composition, I'm proud to say that he is married to my Aunt Ann ( Boag ). As kids we loved to ride push bikes from Yallourn to Ann and Alec's farm near Yinnar, 15 miles each way mostly on dirt. Sometimes we slept in their haystack overnight. Alec taught me to drive his tractors and showed us what dairy farming was all about. He was a great man on the footy ground and is still a great man today, I consider myself very fortunate to have Alec’s influence my early life. Alec once said to me " I don't talk much but I listen a lot " - he had plenty of good advice. ... Frank Widdows
