Wow, thank you for this. I wonder if you knew that Ron Janes who founded ODFHS actually lived in Westhead? 😊 My Dad was Treasurer in the early days. They both would have loved this ❤️
Thank you so much, Anne! We often wonder what the founders would have made of new technology being used for family history, and - now you mention it - I think our longest-standing members have mentioned that the committee meetings used to be held in the Janes' house, back in the day. (I've got a feeling theirs was our first postal address, too!)
Re the photo titled An Event in Westhead 1931 , with Alma Howard, Mr Hardman and Mr Bosanko, Alma recalls that when they paused for the photo they stuck to the road which had recently been resurfaced
Thank you, Gail - we definitely didn't know that! I could easily imagine how that might have happened, especially if they were using tarmac on the roads. (Which, I would guess, they were.) We just wish we knew what the event was!
