Sydney, Australia Dinner
Stephen McCullough (G 73-77) writes about the dinner held in Sydney on Thursday 13th June 2013:
“It was a great night that we had. The evening started at the Greenwood Hotel, which is an old (by Australian standards) converted church located on top of a modern shopping centre in the middle of North Sydney. We then moved to the Greenwood Chinese restaurant for an excellent meal, good wine and outstanding company. There were many stories about the school, which of course centred around the various characters and the many attempts to get the glider airborne. Thanks to all those who made the effort to attend.

“I was a witness to watching the glider crash and break in half back in the early 70s. The person flying it, although it had those ‘spoilers’ on it, pulled the stick back and it climbed straight up and then hit the ground so hard that it may have bounced before stopping and breaking the main frame. Luckily, only the glider was damaged! No more glider flights after that.”
