Does anyone remember the couple who ran a business around the corner from Dolphins book shop. I think it was a male and female hairdressers, come tobacconist. There was a chess board (I think) in the front of the shop window. I don’t remember the man, but the woman was blonde with a hairdo like Dorothy Dors (English actress). She wore tight A-line skirts, and clinging tops???

Also Rev. Kirby used to live in the Vicarage in the early 60’s. He and his family moved to Geelong parish. They had a disabled son. Karl and I were sitting in a restaurant in Yarraville some years back and a young woman and her friends sat near us. The young woman began talking about Yallourn. She was Rev. Kirby’s daughter.
Also there was another Rev., he married Karl and I, in the early 70’s.
When I think about things, it is my time at Yallourn High School, which has shaped me into the person I am. Teachers who had an influence were Miss Mary Bennett (Newton), Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Smith (typing). A teacher, I remember at the sports oval, a hot day, she removed her bra, without taking off her shirt/blouse. I also can do the same. I was frightened of Mr. McAdam.
