Hi Jane
That would be great. I was born and raised in Townsville (now live in Toowoomba) and am headed that way shortly for a few weeks to visit my mum. We'll be staying in West End.
Why I asked you to email me directly is that I grew up knowing people named Kippin so zipped quickly through your first few pages of pages and, voila, there was Dot (Dorothy) Devine, formerly Kruger nee Kippin. I knew her when I was young as my Sunday School teacher but my husband knew both Dot and Shelley through tenpin and we didn't even realise it until we all met at an airport one day years ago.
What a small world. I'd love to know your connection:)
