Knights of Columbus Frances Cabrini Council 8879
Knights of Columbus Frances Cabrini Council 8879 1 EDITOR’S NOTE Several years ago we ran a series of biographies in the council newsletter called “KNOW YOUR KNIGHTS”. A few of our Knights asked me to consolidate them into a booklet form and make them available to all members, especially our new members who may not have read the series when it was published. It is also hoped that it will encourage our members who have not submitted a biography to do so. Most biographies were submitted between 2002 and 2004, so keep that in mind if you think they are rather “dated” when you read them. In the case of “Fallen Knights”, I have done some editing for obvious reasons. The dates that appear on the CONTENTS page are the month they appeared in our newsletter. If you would like to add your life’s “story” to our collection, just send it to me via email or snail mail, and I’ll make sure it is in the next edition.

TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter
TAA / Australian Airlines 25 Year Club Newsletter No. 104 December 2019 Editor: John Wren President’s Report We should find out about the plans for QF’s 100th birthday celebrations in early 2020 [the actual birthday is in November 2020 but they are using the whole year to maximise the exposure]. We are hopeful that the TAA Museum will be able to participate with a special display of QF historical material and memorabilia. More later. The Tour Groups to the Museum have just started to slow down ahead of our closure for the festive season. Thursday pm the 5th December is our last day for 2019 – open again on Tuesday 4th February. We welcome Geoff and Vicki Kerton to the Museum as Volunteers. Just a friendly reminder if you are having a clean up at home, or downsizing, we will look after your donations of TAA and Australian Airlines memorabilia at the Museum. It would be a shame to have the family throw it out. The Museum has upgraded all its computers to Windows 10 as Windows 7 will no longer be supported by Microsoft from early January. You might look at your own situation at home. An Age [24/10/19] review of Hawaiian Airlines concluded with “native birdsong plays on entry and exit, and traditional Hawaiian music as your coming in to land. This airline is also lucky – in 1941 one of the airlines old eight seater Sikorsky’s was hit by Japanese fire at Pearl Harbour, which set an engine alight. Another stray bullet, however, hit a fire extinguisher, which put out the blaze! Well, it’s another year gone with 2020 just around the corner. -
