We have just got home from an Awards Ceremony at the Tasmanian Fire Service Training Complex to give Geoff (and several other members from our Brigade and others) the National Medal in recognition for 15 years 'diligent service within an organisation that protects life and property at some risk to their members'
Geoff didn't see it as something quite so gallant. He marvels that he was able to sit in a Fire Station for 15 years, drink beer and then get a medal of recognition for it! He might be being silly but l was very proud....................!!
And on a funny note................when Geoff went up on the Podium to collect his medal from the Chief Officer Mike Brown apparently Mr Brown said as he was pinning it on Geoff's shirt............'You also did a great job running Qantas"!!
