From Melbourne
5.6.82
Dear Alan, I am enclosing 3 articles – one on a dentists in
Victoria which gives you an idea of the position here – the one on the Zulu chief I included because I thought he
was a very interesting man who could play an important part in South Africa.
The other was in yesterday paper and I am not sure whether you would have read
anything about the conference in the newspapers there.
Nothing
very exciting happening here. Had Aunty Phyl and Uncle Arthur to lunch last
Sunday. Everything turned out alright. Wanted to know what everyone was doing?
Were very interested in the photos you have sent. They had been talking to Judy little while
ago. All the ones in your year that she knows of – are working in Victoria and
mostly working part time. She didn’t seem to know anyone else who had travelled
but you can’t be the only one who has left Victoria. I suppose she just doesn’t
know. Dad went to the dentist last week and he was saying the only way to be a
good dentist is to have plenty of work. Most weeks there is at least one job
for a dentist but they are always for the government working in hospitals or
clinics all around Australia. But in each case they want an experienced
dentist.
I am
the only one home at present, Dad has gone to church @ Bev has taken Pamela
home. I usually do but Bev said she would for a change. We have a new interim
minister at present. Quite a good man. Sensible and plenty of commonsense and
gets on well with everyone but is only here till end of July. Even came to
visit the other night. First time for years we have had the minister here. Anne
seems to be enjoying her job and not finding it too hard. I think she has to
put plenty of preparation into it but that is the only way to be a good
teacher.
Holiday
weekend next week. If the weather is good we will go to Trentham. We haven’t
been since the school term holidays because Dad is trying to finish painting
the front bedroom. Still isn’t finished but he can have a break next weekend.
Last
week Ray got a solicitor’s letter saying that Clare wants a divorce which he
knew was coming. I don’t think he really minds as long as she doesn’t take all
his money.
I hope
that everything works out alright as you look for another position. Something
always does turn up even though it is not exactly what we were thinking about.
Love
from Mum
