BEREAVEMENTS
Jones Frank 87 years 2/11/2010
Andrew Jones, son of Frank told me Frank had enlisted in the RAAF in April 1942 and was attached to US Air Force covering the Pacific zone including combat on Manus Island. Frank specialised in the communications and radio services while in the RAAF and left the service in April 1946. Frank joined the bank at Cressy and promotions followed with appointments to management including Lang Lang and Kangaroo Flat retiring as Manager Glenroy. Frank was a strong supporter of ANZROC often attending meetings when he was able.
Laing N.K. (Ken) 86 years 24/7/2010
Rich Lang, son of Ken let me know that Ken passed away in July. Rich said that Ken’s career included a management appointment at the age of 21 for the ES&A Bank and he eventually left the bank to purchase a news agency in 1970.Ken was 86 when he died and Rich said he loved to read the editions of the monthly newsletter.
Members stood for a few moments in remembrance of Frank and Ken and our sympathies are extended to family and friends.
REMEMBRANCE DAY NOVEMBER 11, 2010
Our meeting was held on Remembrance Day this year and it was fitting that day’s edition of the Age Newspaper included a Remembrance Day Supplement and in the segment titled “Voices from the Front for World War 11” our Life Member Gerald McPherson was quoted at the age of 20 commenting about a night time sortie over Kiel the main German naval base. “The Lancaster bomber in which he was rear gunner was caught in the spotlights and the pilot had to throw the plane around to escape the relentless gunfire and at one stage during the attack they were flying upside down. On the way back the plane was descending to 7000 feet over the North Sea when the pilot suddenly turned up again and Gerry saw another Lancaster below them which they missed by five or six feet. The image of that was forever planted in Gerry’s mind” Gerry flew 37 such missions over Germany and occupied territories before returning to Australia.

GUEST SPEAKER
Charles Goode AC was Chairman of the Board of ANZ for just under 20 years and he told us about his experiences over the term that included dealing with credit crises, overseeing capital raisings, coping with complex financial derivatives and managing the threats inherent in global financial crisis but . In that time he worked with three CEO’s, Don Mercer, John McFarlane and Mike Smith and each brought a set of skills to the company appropriate for that moment in time. The growth of ANZ in size, increased capital adequacy and higher share price and dividends during his term as Chairman has resulted in the current strong credit rating and happy shareholders and like most members he is surprised at the current spate of bank bashing. After many questions from members Gary Mason passed a vote of thanks reminiscing about the time he was presenting credit problems to Charles who was then a member of the Credit Review Board. Charles thanked members for the opportunity to talk about his experiences … a most interesting and informative meeting
LETTERS
Graeme Ainscough reports that he and wife June have taken off to the Gold Coast for a well earned holiday although he had a fall shortly before the trip which meant a stay in hospital and some problems with his back that need to be addressed on return from Gold Coast. He’s also keen to return to see his Cheltenham baseball teams continue to progress through the long summer season but all teams are well placed at this early stage of the season to play in the finals early next year.
Geoff Archer emailing thanks for the birthday card from ANZROC signed by John Vanselow says that since his "retirement" in May, he has been busy acting as housekeeper for wife Jenny and their three adult children and progressively tackling home and garden maintenance issues. Jenny had major hip surgery in March with a more protracted recovery than envisaged. They are looking forward to an APT tour of the Canadian Rockies and Alaskan cruise in 2011.
Graeme Baldwin emailing that he enjoyed receiving his birthday remembrance commented that Saul Eslake our speaker at the October meeting was excellent, and he is sure that all present enjoyed listening while the questions asked were also very pertinent.
Peter Bearsley emailing thanks for the birthday greetings - as usual, perfectly timed says he has recently returned from a week in East Timor, looking at a number of projects his Rotary Club (RC of Melbourne) has going on up there and initiating a new three-year project to reduce maternal and infant mortality. It's estimated that mothers in East Timor have a 1:35 lifetime chance of dying in/around childbirth or from pregnancy-related causes (1:13,300 in Australia) and infants have about a 1:10 chance of not making it to age five. Peter is confident that the new project will make a real difference - all he has to do is raise about USD240, 000, preferably sooner rather than later! And, regrettably, he’ll have to be an apology for the Golf Day at Traralgon as he’ll be trekking across the Wangapeka and Heaphy Tracks at the top of the South Island of NZ, hoping there won't be any bad earthquakes around there at that time.
David Begg writing from Belmont says thanks for the birthday wishes and that this birthday while a little less exciting than his 80th last year was still enjoyed to the fullest. David really appreciates the annual birthday cards and the regular supply of newsletters.
Brian Christensen reports that he and wife Noelle will be looking at Lake Eyre in flood. on the date of our AGM .
Lawrence Cox emailing his thanks for the newsletter and for the birthday card says they are much appreciated. Unfortunately Lawrence has not been able to make any meeting this year and will not be able to make this year's Christmas party as he will be with the family visiting relatives in the UK. Life has been quite busy since last year's Christmas Party as he is still undertaking full time Risk Management consulting to the Department of Transport and is currently overseeing the Risk Management process across about 40 transport projects totalling close to $5b. The Department is currently trying to fill a new full time Public Service Risk Manager Role to spend more time with the individual projects. Lawrence has also been very fortunate to have been invited by the Federal Government to be an inaugural member of their Resilience Expert Advisory Panel.
Don Davy writes that he appreciates the birthday greetings and receipt of the newsletters which keeps him up to date with the news of his colleagues. He is currently Marketing Project Manager for Electric Vehicles at Knoxfield which provides mobility scooters for the infirm and he is now dealing with 50 retirement villages, Aged Care facilities and hospitals. Don says he is always available to help members with advice on mobility. Don recently met Max Butler and his wife at a function and they told him they had taken up golf and Max intended to play at the ANZROC tournament in Traralgon.
Ray Dedlefs emailing his thanks for the greetings and good wishes for his 80th birthday on 31st October says they were much appreciated. The family celebrated the occasion with a dinner party at their home in Diamond Creek. The highlight of the night was the assistance he received from his 2 1/2 year old great grand daughter in blowing out the candles on the birthday cake. As to being 80 years old Ray can say he is very glad to have made it although along the way in recent years there have been some medical hurdles which he has scrambled over. As ANZROC member Murray Abraham mentioned about himself earlier in the year Ray doesn’t mind getting old so long as he keeps getting older. He enjoys the news of members' activities in the monthly news letter. Since retiring from the Bank Ray has played a lot of golf mainly at Heidelberg Golf Club but recently playing golf has tapered off with the wet and cold weather and other overriding claims on his time.
Kerry Dodds writes from Warrenheip that his birthday card was waiting for him on return from the annual trout hunt at Dartmouth Dam and Mitta Mitta River but not many trout were hunted out. It was a busy year with his son and family relocating from Sydney back to Ballarat to commence “Dodds Plumbing”. Kerry’s job is to look after his two grandchildren. The plumbing and the settling in of the grandchildren are so far both going well. He hopes to make the Christmas luncheon this year.
Warwick Etty writes from Healesville to thank the Club for the birthday wishes on his 70th accepting that he is now an old man. His health is good but back and left leg cause some bother. Warwick and his wife spent some time recently in the Channel Country to witness the flooded rivers and rejuvenated surrounding country around Quilpie, Eulo and Toompine with the experience of crossing rivers at .4 metres over the roads. Unfortunately their holiday soured after an altercation with a b-double on the way home. No one was injured just a rather sad looking caravan waiting for repairs.
Patricia Goss daughter of our late member Phil Carne wrote to thank members for their thoughts and condolences on the death of her father .She said the family was comforted that John and Lois Vanselow shared in the celebration of Phil’s life especially as ANZ Bank and ANZROC had been such a big part of it. It was wonderful to reflect on the happy memories which have helped to ease the sadness at this time.
Bob Grant emailing from Nelson Bay says he knows he’s running late but has been away since the birthday and didn’t get a chance to acknowledge Birthday Greetings before this. The year has been a mixed one for Bob as he has had some foot problems necessitating an operation in March. It was officially called a “bumpectomy” .Fortunately, health wise, all is now well. Bob is scheduled to have a similar operation on his other foot in November but as yet haven’t been given an exact date. Apart for that, all is well in Nelson Bay and Bob and wife Nell are enjoying very much the move from Albury 2 years go. He is involved with the local woodworking Club and Nell is into craft activities and babysitting so they are kept occupied.
Jack Grant now well settled in Berwick writes thanks for the birthday wishes and he and wife Robyn are enjoying the closer relationship with their two children and three grandchildren. Late September they went north to Nelson Bay to spend time with twin-brother Bob and his wife Nell and they had a most enjoyable time. Jack has started to get into bowls again and they have joined a local Probus Club so are getting involved in the community. He enjoys reading about colleagues in the newsletter and is looking forward to catching up with friends at the Christmas luncheon.
Mike Henry emailing his thanks once again for the punctual Birthday card says that apart from golf, tennis , travelling, grandchild minding and volunteer driving nothing much is happening - the only real disappointment these days in living the retired life is that you don’t get a rostered day off. Mike would like to also thank David Knuckey for his excellent organisation of the Rosebud Luncheon for ROC members - a terrific day.
Ian Ince thanking John and Kathy for his birthday wishes says it has been a busy year with a stay in hospital followed by leisure time in Yarrawonga and Rosebud. He was due to head off to Queensland in August but rushed into hospital and a stent placed in an artery. Ian is fit and well at home now and looking forward to trips to Yarrawonga, Rosebud and Bright over the coming months.
Larry James emails his thanks for the birthday wishes which arrived on time again. He says its amazing how this can de done with Australia Post. Life is busy as usual either with Golden Days Radio or Puffing Billy both of which are a delight to be involved with. Larry recently had a friend over from the UK and they did a lot of day trips and some overnights as well. They paid a visit to Walhalla during October which is a delightful place to stay. It has a population of around 10 people with no TV or mobile phones. So if you want to get away from the busy life Walhalla is the place to stay. Great accommodation (Star Hotel) and great food. There's also a narrow gauge railway there as well hence the connection. Bumped into David Knuckey at a "Thomas" Day at Puffing Billy recently and caught up with old times, which was good. He will try and get to a meeting or two next year.
Doreen Langmead widow of our late member Harold Langmead writes to thank members for their thoughts and condolences when Harold passed away. She says that after Harold served 6 years in the Indian Army they came to Australia in 1949 to begin 32 years with the then Union Bank serving many years at 351 Collins Street. His era was with Frank Donovan and Keith Crellier eventually taking up management roles in the suburbs and city until retirement as Manager William Street Branch. Harold always enjoyed the newsletter and was interested in the news.
Phil Manning emails that he regularly reads every Newsletter, and is pleased to note the odd name that he is familiar with pop up from time to time! Phil is now in his eightieth year and although there’s a few creaks and groans mainly from a knee replacement he still tries to keep himself occupied - but it makes it difficult to get to meetings !.Phil’s qualifications-which included accountant and tax agent etc- were interesting and profitable in the past but he is now winding up a small but interesting business and everything collected over many years. Phil and his wife visited their younger son and grandchildren in North Queensland a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed the temperatures in the lower thirties and the upper twenties. This son manages the airport at Horn Island (between Australia and Papua New Guinea) but he seems a bit remote. They are having the grandchildren visit after Christmas - something to look forward to!
Jim Martin apologising for missing the AGM tells me he will be cruising on the Dawn Princess circumnavigating the Australian coastline.
Emilio Moreno emailed his thanks for the very kind wishes for his birthday. Emilio spent a wonderful day with the family and it was great having the five grandchildren help him celebrate.
Look forward to seeing colleagues at the Christmas lunch
Bob Nichol turning 99 on 15th November was pleased to announce a little baby great grandson was born recently. His name is Robert (BOB) Redman, so the name Bob will not be lost
Rino Orifici one of our newest members emails that he has booked for the Christmas meeting, but is unable to attend the November meeting as he and his wife are flying to Hawaii for a cruise.
John Osborne writing his thanks for the birthday wishes says he was born on Melbourne Cup day in 1937 and has always enjoyed the Cup. This year he again had a great birthday with the family and also won on the Cup. Since retiring John has enjoyed the comradeship of Probus and he and his wife are heading off shortly on their first Probus trip to Echuca and expect to experience the rich history of the area. They go their holiday home in Loch Sport as often as practicable where they catch up with their daughter and son in law from Traralgon. It’s a lovely quiet area and they return relaxed and refreshed. John is still studying music and guitar and having the time and patience in retirement makes it easier.
Peter Oxley emailing from Mount Gambier sends thanks for the good wishes on the occasion of his 81st Birthday. It does not seem possible that it is 25 years since he retired. After living in a Retirement Estate for the past seven years, Peter and wife Moira have settled well into the different lifestyle, where they have the availability of a secure and caring environment, and the fellowship of many folk of their own age group. They haven’t been able to manage any overseas travel for the past couple of years, but they do hope to see a bit more of Australia in the near future, something a little closer to home and a little less stressful.
Jim Potter writing from Sebastopol on his 80th says thanks for the good wishes and it is hard to imagine it is some 25 years since he retired from ANZ. They have recently moved to Sebastopol to be near family and while the temperature is a little different from Ferntree Gully, it has not taken long to settle into their new surroundings.
Ray Quirk sending thanks to the Club for the Birthday Card received right on his 88th says as usual a special thanks to John Vanselow for his efforts and personal note. Ray and wife Meryl are still in good health, doing some travel within Australia and associating regularly with old ANZ friends at lunches.
Dietmar Reichert emails that he has just returned from several weeks overseas attending his primary school class reunion in Southern Germany. He was a pupil at the school in the late 1950’s. It seems not all that long ago. In addition Dietmar and his wife visited family and friends and did a fair bit of "walking in the black forest" which was very nice - and the weather was very warm. To travel is still generally enjoyable - but flying is nowadays very trying!!
Don Taylor writes that since February when he settled into his new residence in Toorak he has been keeping busy setting up his office to cope with the volume of paperwork that has accumulated over the past eight months. He is reasonably healthy and enjoys keeping up with news of colleagues through the newsletter.
John Taylor emailing from Tura Beach says thanks for the birthday wishes, as usual the card arrived exactly on the date. It has been a year of mixed fortunes, however hoping for the best now. In April John was diagnosed with cancer that resulted in an operation and six days at National Capital Hospital Canberra. This was followed up with weeks of extensive Radiation, and Chemo at the Canberra Public Hospital. This was a 550 Klm round trip home each weekend to Tura Beach. Upon completion of treatment John and his wife flew up to Port Douglas for a month staying their daughter’s apartment. While in Port Douglas they met up with Sylvia Lovett (nee Hercules) who John worked with at ANZ Fitzroy in the early 1960’s, Sylvia is still working, as a receptionist for a construction company in Cairns. They also had visits from their daughter her husband and their three grand children who live in Brisbane. Also visiting were Gertie Braini and her husband Boris; John worked with Gertie when he was manager Data Processing Vic., and Gertie was a leading Shift Supervisor. They had a pleasant week reminiscing about the old times back in the early 80’s at the banks computer headquarters at South Yarra. Back home again in Tura Beach John had to go back to the Specialist in Canberra, for a 3month check up and was given a positive report with 3 monthly check ups ahead for the time being. John stresses the importance of having yearly blood tests.
Bill Walker emails thanks for the kind birthday wishes. As for the day itself, it was spent in the company of all his family which made it something special. Not a lot to report over the past year which is probably a good thing. He must say however that like most responders he does enjoy reading about their various exploits
Eric Williams writing from Warrnambool on his 90th says that John Vanselow hit the jackpot again in dispatching his card to arrive spot on the day. Eric’s wife has recovered from a serious operation and they are both looking forward to 2011. Eric will again be attending the Christmas luncheon.

ANZ STAFF CLUB AUSTRALIA
As you may be aware, ANZ Staff Club VIC held a Special General Meeting on 23 August 2010, where members voted on a range of special general resolutions including change of name, rules of association and membership criteria/eligibility. These resolutions were carried, and have since received regulatory approval; therefore the changes have now been enacted. One of the changes was to the retired officer membership category. Eligibility was altered from the applicant being required to have had 15 or more years of service at ANZ and membership of ANZROC VIC to the applicant being required to have had 30 or more years of continuous service at ANZ. The annual membership fee has been reduced to $13.00 per annum (payable in advance).
