There are so many of us as at Frankston Branch who have shared in the mayhem that was Queen Bee’s rule. The trips, the morning teas, and the short holidays away, the morning melodies and luncheons and end of year play. Also, the movie trips and the New Year’s Eve Parties at the RSL in the early days, and so much more that my head is spinning just thinking of them all.
And what about those hats, the Santa Suites, the flashing ear-rings, the T-shirts, the not so subtle reminders of an upcoming birthday, and the delighted surprise when we dared not forget.
The hard work and energy put into raising money for charity. The complete confidence those letters would be answered, businesses would donate and people would give, not to was not an option. Often outrageous and pushy, always bossy, she certainly got things done, and she certainly earned her title of Queen Bee. But there was warmth, genuine caring and generosity too.
But most of all it was the fun. Gwen had the knack of bringing people together and simply being part of this sometimes chaotic group, was fun. So thank you Gwen for all the memories and the laughter.
