Dear Val,
I would like to send to you my thoughts and condolences. Please know that it was much appreciated how generously you and Noel both welcomed Jack and I to Warrnambool. My experience working with Noel and the WOF committee was a formative experience for me in my artistic career, and I feel blessed to have had a community organisation led by Noel to have supported my initiatives and career in the arts. I learnt so many things from Noel and he was a great support and friend. And the best part was that we made some awesome music happen in Warrnambool and the South West.
Thinking of you.
