Condolence Messages

  • My condolences and sympathy to the Elder families on the death of David. I think I first met David at the Griffith Show in about 1947-1948, but I do not remember the occasion, and I doubt he would have, either. I would have been about six years old, and David about 11 years old. Of course, I saw David from time to time at various family functions and similar events over the years at Rockall Mains and Griffith. It is the end of an era. John Woodside Adelaide
