Thank you for all your kindness and attention to detail for Quentin in particular, on Saturday. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and everyone concerned needs an individual bouquet I think! We loved the performance, and were amazed at, nd most interested to see the range of memorabilia and although there were more memories for Quentin than for me, in perusing them all, I was still enchanted to find references to old friends from my Mother's student days. I had forgotten Freddie de la Mare's Vic. connection---and there was his name in more than one entry. His daughter, Judith, is one of my dearest friends. She married Geoffrey Briggs, in England, in the early 1950es, and they came out here for geoff to take up the post of Assistant Librarian at Vic in the late 50es and early 60es. His career ended in a blaze of glory at Carleton Uni. Ottawa, when he saw their new Library open just before his retirement

They have retired to a charming home on the hills above Adelaide, and we are in regular touch. I shall send the Extravaganza book over this a.m. because I know how much it will mean to Judith to have it. (Now I realize that you may already know the Briggs connection with Vic. so please forgive!)

I sincerely hope that we shall be able to attend more of the Alumni functions this coming year. There have been "clashes of dates" every other time so far—inevitable I suppose with Quentin's long connection with all things Wellington, and our joint involvment in many interests. This life is called retirement, and to that I had looked forward, with many plans for activities for myself. The latter are still awaiting my attention!

I trust you will have a quiet period after what must have been a particularly busy time. Congratulations on superb organisation, and again our thanks for a wonderfully nostalgic visit.
