I was also in Gove for many years, after
JS and GD though. My wife worked for Qantas there and she won one of the top service awards in 1999. At the presentation dinner in Sydney, GD sat at our table and Gove obviously came up in the conversation. That was the first time I became aware that he had been in Gove and that he had met
JS there. He also didn't mention any of the events noted above - not unsurprisingly!
