Memories of Raymond Alfred Hawdon

Sales price $25.00
Sales price without tax $22.73
Tax amount $2.27

by Mervyn Darby

“Ray was a unique individual—all matters were considered, planned and activated, even the matter of going to Bankstown to buy wood for the copper had to be planned to the last minute. He spoke fondly of his heritage at Moruya and he made trips there with his son Barry. He saw his family as an important part of the Moruya history.

"Ray never considered himself to be anything other than ordinary but he did say he liked to do things in his own way. He had a tremendous memory. He would sit quietly and then relate intricate detail on events and matters right back to his childhood. Music was always part of his life. He spoke to me on his time at war , the mud and slush at the Somme, the waste of materials and waste of life that he was subjected to. He said war was a terrible business. Towards the end of his life he said he was fortunate for the good life that fate had dealt him. His strength of character was passed down through his son Barry and his grandson Don.

"Thank you, Raymond Alfred Hawdon.”

Mervyn Darby
