After many years of service Ron decided he could no longer continue his role as President. His health has not been the best and the demands of both here and the Diggers Club were catching up. We at the Sub Branch pass on our gratitude and thanks for his years of dedicated service to helping veterans and families and in running and maintaining the office. Many of you may not realise just how hard it has been over the past 3 years and the amount of work required to maintain the Sub Branch, it has not been fun and at times very hard on Ron’s health.

As the recess bell rang students scattered to meet and greet the visitors. Kristal and I went hunting to take photos of the visitors. Our friend George H tagged along too!

If it had been the Sydney Opera House or St Mary’s Cathedral I could understand my initial feelings, but this was not a Sydney building. Later that day I discovered that I was not alone in this response. People, all over the world, were moved. The sense of sadness was lifted when we knew that the cathedral was not destroyed and that it would be rebuilt. Why is the experience of Notre Dame so powerful? I remember walking around Notre Dame and taking in the view of its graceful flying buttresses and observing so many others looking with wonder at its beauty. Somehow this building, though lace-like in its stonework and majestic in structure, did not draw attention to itself, but moved my soul to ponder higher things. I suspect that for the Firefighters fight to save the Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, people of Paris, Notre Dame is more than a building, it is France.
