Eddie Kee Gary Kee Fred Allsop

[David Oldfield]

Hi everyone - first time in - won a few varying titles as a junior in the early 70s - used to work at Balgowlah and Rushcutter - just wondering if anyone knows what happened to Eddie Kee, Gary Kee and Fred Allsop - just curious - blasts from the past - might throw in Elizabeth Van Der Horst - she and I won the National mixed doubles in Canberra in 1975, might have been 74? Long time ago.

Hi David , I remember you bowling back then. Doc and Liz have both left us now. Have not seen Gary for some time now but he was in the music industry .

Dear Spinner, Thank you for your reply - I had expected that Doctor Eddie might have died, given the passing of so much time - sorry to hear such also applies to Liz - had she been alive today, she'd have been about 61/62 - she was something of a wild one - any idea what happened to her?

I'm guessing this is Terry. Thanks for the note - I remember you well from Rushcutter, so long ago. Whilst there is a facebook entry for me, it isn't actually me - long story. Hence meaning I'm not on facebook - I should fix that some time, but just caught up with lots of bad stuff, so hard to get to things like that. Now a single custodial dad with Boys 8 and 10, so I'm an old dad with my hands full. I don't like to say it, but given the length of time, I expect Topsy is gone - I'd like to hope that's not the case, but well........ - a great Lady - a stalwart always in my memory. Hoping you are well - guessing you must be close to 70?

You are correct, it is me. Yes Topsy has been gone for a while now but she was happy to go .. life had not treated her that well but she did a lot that she didn't realise in bringing up myself and my brother. Bringing up children on your own is not easy so I wish you all the best. Would be good to see you on Facebook as there is a lot of bowling stuff around especially Tenpin Memories but I can understand why your not .. I will be 66 this year playing my best golf off 6 and been retired since 2012 but haven't had a full time job since 2009. Life is good, I am living with Jenny a girl I went to school with and hung out with her brother. She wouldn't go out with me at school but we have been together a couple of times over the years and finally got together after I left my second wife, and life is great and I hope you are too. Keep in touch ..
