A monumental birthday
19 May 2025
New Town Lenah Valley Probus Club recently celebrated the monumental birthday of Donald who turned 100.
Many members attended the special morning tea along with Dons daughter and son-in-law.
Don was born in Burnie in 1925 and attended the University of Tasmania graduating with degrees in both science and engineering.
After gaining his degree he commenced work with a leading energy business where he remained for his entire working career. In his thirties, Don developed a new method of using lightning arresters on high voltage electricity networks, which gained international attention.
Don has been a regular attendee at meetings and outings organised by the Club and for many years he was an active member of their walking group.
