Hi Susie,

If I do decide to go ahead and write this up then I would definitely talk to
Meredith Primary as this is where the remaining students and much of the
stuff from Woodburn ended up.

I think I've found one of my old teachers listed as teaching in Morewell, so
hopefully I can chase him up too.

...and yes, I did understand the shorthand!

Thanks heaps.

Jo
