Good Afternoon Everyone
As you are all aware Dave Sabben is invited to the DunSoc “Happy Hour Plus” at the RACV Club tomorrow.
Late notice, and sincere apologies from Dave but he will have to cancel… or better, postpone his attendance at our Happy Hour+ tomorrow.
For those of you who don’t know Dave had a minor stroke approx 3 weeks ago and subsequently got Covid and has just come out of a 7-day covid lockdown.
Dave was still prepared to come to the RACV Club on Thursday but with the passing of 6776 LTCOL (RTD) Harry Arthur Smith, SG, MC OC D Coy 6 RAR 1966 on the weekend and the expectation that he should attend the funeral on Wed 30 Aug. Dave is one of two surviving Officers of the Battle of Long Tan along with Geoff Kendall. Geoff is non-coherent and is not well and hasn’t attended any Military functions for a long time.
Dave’s medical advice is now NOT to attend on Thursday or at any other place until after the flights.
His doctor says he cannot take the risk of catching a temporary something by mixing with people prior to the flights.
I know this is a blow however the Happy Hour+ will still go ahead tomorrow as planned.
Sincerely
Roger Schie
Convenor
