I got terrible news about fellow IISer
GrameT. Three weeks ago Graeme, his wife and another couple friends of theirs, were on the Jenolan Caves road heading to the cave network, when a car came around a bend in the road on the wrong side of the road smashed into them head on.
Graeme's wife only recently left hospital, having been seated in the back seats, she was not as severely injured as the occupants of the front seats. Graeme is still in hospital, his injuries being very severe, and his recovery is a slow one. He had only recently also recovered from a major illness too just to make things more difficult for him.
Graeme was very much looking forward to attending the IISAC, and is very disappointed to have missed it. I was looking forward to catching up with Graeme then too. When I didn't see him there I just thought he decided against attending as the weather was so dodgie. I never imagined what had actually had happened.
I wish Graeme a speedy recovery. His charming wife while out of hospital, is also slowly on the mend.
All the best, mate. I hope you are back on board soon.
Alex.
