<DIV><FONT size=4>I cannot help but wonder what effect such a trip would have on
GG. How would he have gotten there ? Somehow it is sad he never had the
experience of visiting an ”isolated” community like Wilcannia NSW or Alice
Springs NT. If you talk to people who live in the extreme conditions of the
Northern Territory (which I have, my godson lives there) you will notice that
the impressions the idea of Isolation and, to an extent Solitude, are similar to
those expressed by people in northern Canada. I bet that the people in Alice
(some of them wonderfully loony, weird and highly eccentric, Land Surveyer Wally
McLean would have fit in nicely) can relate and understand the concept of Idea
of North. With the exeption that the weather is much better all year
round...</FONT></DIV>

comments and memories Anita. Yes the Australian tour that almost happened,
though it wouldn’t have done me any good. I wasn’t born until the end of 1962.
Mind you, a former professor of mathematics at the local university recalled
studying at <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place

was interesting about the Australian tour. I have written to the list
about the concert I was lucky enough to hear in 1960. At least I think it
was 1960; it could have been 1959 or even 1961. It was at <st1:placename
w:st="on">Winthrop</st1:placename> <st1:placetype
w:st="on">College</st1:placetype> in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city
w:st="on">Rock Hill</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">South
Carolina</st1:state></st1:place> which was at that time only for females.
Now that I have seen that documentary, I know that he was in <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Russia</st1:place></st1:country-region> before
that event. He must have been quite disappointed in the <st1:city
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Winthrop</st1:place></st1:city> audience, not
that he was not appreciated, but the auditorium didn't have standing room
only.<BR><BR>Anita</SPAN></FONT></B><FONT face=Arial family="SANSSERIF"><SPAN
