It's fairly obvious eh? Can you think of other ladies from WWTC who married a WWTC fella? If so, click on COMMENTS below and let me know. Ta.
The photo above of Fay, myself and Ros, was taken in Narrabri last week. We caught up briefly with Ros Lyell who married Bob Tobin.
Here's a bit of Ros' story:
Taught at Blaxcell St. Granville 65-68.
Married Bob ’69 and moved to Narrabri where we both taught at Narrabri Primary and Infants.
Later I did 2 terms at Narrabri West before resigning after having 2 children Geoff and Alison.
Bob moved to the Infants Dept with some other male teachers and that’s where Bob always said “he learnt to teach.” He became Assistant principal, Infants until medical retirement in 1998 then passed away in 1999.
I’ve been teaching Scripture at both schools for 30+ years and teaching beginner music lessons to private pupils for about 15 .
We were both very involved with our local Anglican church , Bob as parish councillor, secretary, lay preacher and leader.
I play the music for some church services, weddings and funerals etc. and am also involved with Narrabri Eisteddfod, Meals on Wheels, a weekly exercise group, parish secretary and helping in the office with my limited office skills.
In 2005 I took a bus tour from Darwin to Perth and celebrated my 60th at Cable Beach Resort.
Son Geoff is married and lives in Wellington, N.Z. and has 3 daughters, (8,4, and 1). He works in computer animation, including all 3 Lord Of the Rings\nmovies and King Kong. So I travel to N.Z. at least once a year, sometimes more.

Daughter Alison is a pharmacist, is married with 2 daughters (almost 4 and 2) and lives in Sydney.
I have no plans to move from Narrabri. It’s a great town, wonderful\npeople, real community and a great\nchurch family. You should see the view of the Kaputar Mts I have as I drive down my street.
There is plenty for me to do here.
Enjoy beautiful Narrabri, Ros. Thanks for sharing your story.
