Special thanks to Mrs Judith Warrell who converted the first draft to the computer, Dr Marguerite Hancock and Lucille Andel who did much of the early research many years ago. Harry Tedstone (RBYC), Lionel Sharpe & Liz James (Jewish history), Weston Bate, David Amess, William Sorraghan OAM (Bowls Victoria), Mike Rucker (USA), Merrin Saunders (Riches Family), Sue Graham (Westernport), Patricia Collins (Barwon Park), Benetia Paterncot (Streeton), Lyle Close, (Richard White), Kenneth, John and Bill Riches, Ray Schafer, John Bird, Jonathan Crisp (Whitfield), Warren Johnson, David and Tim Johnson, James Moloney and Pat Hyland (racing), and Paul Michell (Northcote). Thank you to Sally Trewenack for her proofreading and suggestions. I thank my wife Margaret for her company as we explored areas of interest, and her patience with the disruption to our home; and Sarah Crisp, publisher, for her patience, support and advice. Thanks also to Daan Spijer, who inspired me to continue with the book – we spent many pleasant hours discussing and editing its contents – and who enhanced photos and illustrations and helped shape the book. I was fortunate to find Jennifer Hollander who was writing about the Moss family, and Peter Griffin AM who was investigating the White family. I appreciate their help and contribution.
