Bud TIngwell not so well

E-mail Print PDF

I visited my dear friend and highly respected colleague, Bug Tingwell yesterday in hospital.  His wit is still shining and he was happy to be with his visitors, reminiscing and joking as always.  He is so greatly loved that there would be many sending him messages at the moment with good and happy thoughts.  Not knowing that he isn't actually up to reading at present, I bought him a book, and even in the bookshop, when I said who it was for, the man serving spoke glowingly of Bud and how much he is adored by teh Aussie people.  If there were a medal for that, his chest would be covered in gold!

 Let's hope that the sun shines through and that he is well again!  But he is lucky to be surrounded by his wonderful family just now as always.

Hang in there Bud!
