FACEBOOK: Love it or hate it Facebook has some wonderful points; Last week I saw a request from Catherine Brown to join the group “You Know You’re from Grenfell if”
After enrolling Catherine into the group, this was her reply with a photograph that I had published in Weddin Whispers in August 2014.
“Pleased to have found this group. I was born in Grenfell in 1958 and lived there till my family moved to Goulburn in 1967.
My Dad was one of the local GPs - Dr Trevor Brown and my Mum, Joan. Three of their seven children were born in Grenfell and my youngest sister in Young. The story I have attached is from Grenfell Record of an opening of the hospital's lily pond by my Dad in early 1970s. My younger brother Chris and I are also in the photo.
My Dad passed away last year - he had so many happy memories of working in Grenfell and bringing up his young family there with Joan. Would love to hear any stories if any of you remember my parents.” Catherine certainly received numerous positive replies.
Below is the story from August 2014:-.
REMEMBER WHEN: In 1970’s Dr Trevor Brown returned to Grenfell to officiate at the opening of the Lily Pond in the garden of the Grenfell District Hospital.
The pond was a tribute to the four former local doctors; Dr Ercole, Dr Quilter, Dr Fenwick and Dr Brown and the two local Chemists, Thomas Sinclair and Norman Edwards. At the official opening Dr Brown was accompanied by two of his children. (Catherine and Chris)
Chairman of the Hospital Board Ken Hunter who was in his 16th term at the time, Maud McClelland, (Secretary) and Joan Nealon of the Hospital Auxiliary were also present on the memorable day.
