PART 13: Faces from the office.

(Click on the image for a much larger version).
This photograph was sent to Bob (Deahm) by Sharon Tankard only a couple of days ago and is the only one we have that features the office staff.
We reckon that it was taken around 1967/1968, that guestimate simply based on memories of who was there, when. It was definitely after 1966 and before 1970.
Aren't the hairstyles great and also the mini-skirts?!
Bring back the 1960s, that's all I can say!

The names - from left to right:-
Unknown - Renee Little - Chris Whitney - Jim Tankard - Paula Wright (nee Tulk) - Anne Kovacs - George Blanning - Gail Connor.

Do you remember George wandering through the building at the end of the pay-week, pointing to each person and saying "Time cards! Time cards! Time cards!"?

VALE - Jim Tankard

I am sorry to report that I received an email from Bob Deahm yesterday (9th. Nov) in which he related that he recently called Jim's home (in Toowoomba) and was advised by Enid Tankard that Jim had succumbed to bowel cancer in July.
