Gregory Deacon

I am still working busily as an anaesthetist at St Vincent’s and at the Prince of Wales although have cut back a lot on my honorary work for the Australian Society of Anaesthetists.

All 3 children are at university, Victoria age 24 studying medicine at Sydney Uni, James age 22 studying medicine at Uni of NSW and Emma age 19 studying international and global studies at Sydney Uni, she is living in Women’s College the other 2 are still at home.

James is playing grade cricket for Easts and is varying from 1st grade to 3rd grade depending on his run scoring. He is thinking of taking next year off uni to play cricket in England.

Have been doing more travelling in the last couple of years, last year Alaska, Turkey and Greece earlier this year Spain, Portugal, Malta and Italy.

My Dad has been very ill of late. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer about a month ago and 2 weeks ago had a large stroke leaving him paralysed down the right side and with speech difficulties. He is quite distressed as until the stroke he was living alone and independently in the family home in Victoria Road.

Looking forward to seeing many of you on Tuesday.

Best wishes,
Greg
