The next table consists of sketchy information - sketchy because that's all I've heard: it would be good to be able to say more.

Barbara Dumas... was a librarian at Sydney Uni
Tony Farrow... worked at ACI for many years
John Hayward... now lives in Dorrigo
Chris Rose... became a Science teacher
Norrie Summerhayes... worked at AMP at one stage
Barbara Woods... became a librarian

The amount of information I have for different people is uneven. Thus for example, if it says above that Joe Blow is:
"Living in Timbuctoo, working as a revolutionary. Interests include collecting jade buddhas."
this doesn't necessarily mean that Joe is not married with 13 kids. It's more likely to mean I don't know.

If there is an error or omission in your entry, or you would like it removed, or if you don't have an entry and would like one, let me know ().

Thanks to Denise Prince for much of the information here, and for fixing several mistakes. But blame me for the mistakes that remain.
