Mr Max Bunter
Rotarian, Vietnam Field Trip 2013
You cannot possibly imagine how great it is for a retired teacher to be suddenly confronted with past pupil from almost fifty years ago, especially one who has gained the esteemed position of Consul General of Australia in Vietnam.
Way back in the 1960's I was teaching at Wagga Wagga High School. In 1964 I was Form Master responsible for all Year 7 pupils and in that year one John McAnulty enrolled. I possibly taught him English or Mathematics, but in all honesty I don't really remember him as an individual. John informed me that he as also a member of the Wagga Wagga High School Cadet Unit of which I was the Officer-in-Charge, and was a team member of one of the football teams I coached. (There will be some say how could he put up with me in so many ways!)
However, I am extremely pleased that John seems to have remembered me favourably, and I am honoured that I have in some small way may have contributed to the development of a fine ambassador for Australia.
It was great to see John's genuine interest in the humanitarian work being done by Vietnam Vision and the promise of his assistance wherever possible - Many Thanks.
