From Paul Wennegal.

Hello Eric,

My thanks for a wonderful and memorable Quiet Lion Tour 2011.

There were many highlights, and I’m hard-pressed to pick just a handful. I very much enjoyed the opportunity to chat with Neil McPherson, visiting the BTRMA museum and the Hellfire Pass museum, the walk along the rail trace to Konyu Cutting in company with David Piesse, the presentation of ‘Wind Beneath my Wings’ with the Esperance contingent, and – of course! – the concert.

The entire tour to me was a powerful mixture of growing my personal understanding of this profound episode in our contemporary history – and the experience of being a part of a group of individuals who were doing the same: making their own journey, while at the same time joining together to share in that of everyone else. 

Your leadership of the group was first-class: it’s no easy feat to take a group of 80-odd delegates – of all different ages and backgrounds - into country which was foreign to most, and keep the focus and energy of the entire contingent sharp.  Well done!

My sincere thanks and congratulations  for a job well done.

Paul Wennegal. Esperance.
