The great man the North honour... And so do I.

On May 31st, 2011 approximately 600 people were selectively invited by His Worship, the Mayor of Launceston, together with the Examiner newspaper and a few other organisations to attend a function to acknowledge the Honourable Don Wing at 5.30PM to 7.00PM at the Albert Hall, Launceston.

I share with the North in thanking Don for all his doings for Tasmania, Launceston as well as for being such a great friend to me. He is (and has been for years) a mentor, and a close friend. I have enjoyed a great 3 years of working with him both in Hobart and in Launceston. I extend my best wishes to him for his retirement from the Legislative Council after serving for 29 years since June 1982.

I now look forward to the new chapter of Don Wing...
