Marge’s important words “We were never cold or hungry until we went into the Orphanage”

It is really sad news Margery Crawford 89yrs has died in Adelaide She was a good friend to me & CLAN Marge was in Ballarat Orphanage She was a very talented knitter she made all those @GeelongCats jumpers We have 2 of her jumpers in #AOMuseum She loved her footy #GoCats💙🤍

@CLAN_AU @jihaddibmp @ChrisMinnsMP @KateRWashington @NSWLabor I hate to say this. In my experiences with authorities, they can't be trusted until the writings are on the wall, we all had to look after each other. Sometimes even that didn't work. So trust has to be earned.

We had 2 visitor’s from Brisbane Qld to the #aomuseum Lady thought we wouldn’t have much, on her feedback card “wow, she will have to come back” Writing a book on her late Dad, in #RoyalParkDepot, #Menzies Boys’Home #Frankston Bought Orphans of the Living & joined, now members
