I see a little sun peeking through, so I will think of a memory as I walk with the group this morning..... it's been a while, last time I met up with the group was before we went away... mid September. Attachments:

The news today is that the famous Australian Opera Singer, Dame Joan Sutherland has passed away. I seem to have known of her all my life, though as a child we did not have a gramaphone, and TV did not come to country Australia til the '60s. We listened to the wireless. There are a number of tributes to her on youtube today, including clips of her singing with Pavarotti. This is one of her operas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwhiKxAGRjsHere is a rather lengthy obituary www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/oct/11/dame-joan-sutherland-obituaryAttachments:

Did you know Jan that Luciano Pavarotti described her as the voice of the century. That is quite the honour! Sharon Attachments:
