Feedback
Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed your presentation...
'Enjoyed' is the wrong choice of word... the sharing of your knowledge of the Kokoda Track and your ability to lead the audience into the depths and essence of the New Guinea Campaign was, for me, deeply emotional and extremely thought provoking. Your personal delivery is most polished and of world standard.
How indeed fortunate we are today, and indebted to that generation of Diggers...
It was a pleasure to meet you afterwards.
