ALAN MILLS

Alan lived at Londonderry for 25 years, teaching at Colo High, North Richmond. Towards the end of his time there, the local environment group requested that Penrith City Council name the hall at Londonderry (which had recently had an expensive upgrade) after John Murphy and Alan Mills in recognition of their work for the environment. Unfortunately John passed away shortly before the naming. The above photo shows John's widow with Alan Mills at the naming and re-opening.

While Alan will be unable to join in the 50 year celebrations in Canberra, he has been generous in making a donation to the event. Thanks very much Alan. He now lives at Bilambil near Tweed Heads. Looks like a good spot Alan.
