Right-t-o my dear hearts, it's time for a few more life stories from students in the 1969 -1976 era at WTS. Here's a great idea ! Let's extend an invitation to Leeane Zappa and Debbie Devoogd to tell their stories after WTS. Well done, girls ! We look forward to your stories with interest.
From Maureen Ware, the 'baby' of the Ware family : 16 January 2016. Hi John, Maureen Ware, it's lovely to speak to you. I unfortunately missed the reunion, which I would have loved to attend. Whoops, I posted this before I finished. I pretty much went from Tech school to the MCG. Tony, my brother, was working there at the time on the arena staff in 1978 and I worked in admin in membership initially. Still there 37 years later, albeit not in the same role. I worked as PA to our Project Manager on the rebuild of the Southern Stand, then in our maintenance dept. And now for the past 14 years I have worked in our Events Dept which manages major events on game day, so a bit of everything and always plenty going on at the G. I have great memories of WTS and also your contribution to the school and community, including your time at Glen Alvie FC. Take care and who knows, may cross paths in the near future. Wishing you all the very best.
