Gav- I’ll never forget first meeting you. The Wallabies had just won the World Cup in Cardiff. A day later I was on my plane awaiting push back from the terminal. “We’re waiting for one more passenger,” the announcement said. We waited. And waited. And then a very tall, bald guy ran on to the plane, and plonked himself next to me. The next 12 hours to Hong Kong had this guy snoring and slurping on my shoulder. I was so relieved when the flight ended. A year later, on my first day at STW, one of the first meetings I had was with a tall bald guy. Snap! It was the snorer from the flight- Gav!
Gavin- you have been an inspiring role model for me. You are a can-do self starter. You have always been constantly encouraging and motivating. You’ve always made me feel lighter and happier after spending time with you. You have made a difference to me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Big hug. Warm hug. Chris
