Photos: courtesy Leonie Reid

Here are the photos promised to me by Terry Wilkins, via Leonie Reid. I never had the pleasure of meeting Leonie as she had embarked on a journey to the UK just.

Dave Miller "Hi Lynne, Dave Miller here, thank you so much for letting me share Leonie's photos, it was a very emotional experience for me looking at photos of my friends that I hung around with from the age of seventeen. It sure brings back a lot of fond memories whilst at the same time its very sad that some of those friends are no longer with us. How incredibly young they all looked.  Mort's brother Ham Fist (Michael) and seriously is that the same Phil Wood I went skiing with two weeks ago, he'd be pretty safe in a police line up (lol). Lyn Carrick and Carolyn Smith (the Beverly Hills girls) whom I first met at the Folk Attic (their names are on that letter from Howlin Wolf) and of course Veronica Wellman and Leonie who were like sisters to me (as if I didn't have enough already - 4) and rescued me from over indulgence at the many parties at 294 South Dowling Street. These were the formative years for me as a teenage boy and I felt privileged to have shared it with such wonderful people.



I'm inspired to dig through my photo collection and send you anything of interest that I can find and happy Birthday for tomorrow.   love Dave "

Reunion: Dave, Jacquie and Phil


Dave and Phil
"Hi Lynne, Dave Miller here, thanks for the e-mail regarding the re-union at Manly Jazz festival. we'll have to do some organising before I can tell you what day(s) that we'll be attending. Well, you will never guess who paid us a visit today. Yep, that's right, Phil and Lyn Wood. How amazing seeing Phil after 41 years! Prior to this my only memory of Phil was that of a frisky young motor bike riding devil may care teenager.



What a difference 41 years makes, seeing Phil the family man and his lovely wife Lynn He is very close to his youngest son Cassidy and spends a lot of time trout fishing in the Snowy mountains with him, as he and Errol did with their father who is still alive at 94 (and stills drives a car, amazing). After lunch we did a tour of our property and went up to our neighbours, 'Jeir Creek' winery, where they did some wine tasting. Although we didn't stop chatting the afternoon was way too short to talk about everything and we've invited them back for a longer stay and they have invited us to visit them up at Bellingen. And who was responsible for this reunion? You of course, you precious person! We couldn't thank you enough. I hope things are going well with you. Any news of your transfer to either Ballina or Coffs Harbour? I'll keep in touch, bye for now.                       

Love Dave Jacquie Miller "
