At 97, Dorothy Cooper is still connected with her School.
Earlier in January we received a lovely letter from Dorothy who said that she wasn't able to attend the Founders' Day Assembly on 8 February. We noted her apology in the Lunch Program and after the Founders' Day Assembly and Lunch, we sent Dorothy a copy of the program along with a commemorative 120 Anniversary pin.
A few weeks later, we received this letter
"I am writing on behalf of Dorothy Cooper (nee Whistler) who attended your school from 1930-1939. She now resides in an aged care facility in Yarra Junction, Victoria.
She received her program and badge the other day in the mail, and was very grateful that you had thought of her. She was so excited that we took a photo with her items to share with you.
Dorothy is 97 years old and has been with us for 6 years, She is still visited weekly by her family and is widely known within the community. She attends the local church for services and likes to attend our High Tea days.
Once again thank you for sending your program to Dorothy.
Regards
Bronwyn Walburg
Lifestyle Coordinator

Dorothy is one of our most esteemed Old Lauristonians, who graduated over 80 years ago and we are so delighted that she enjoyed receiving the program and her pin.
