Display stands included the<BR>CFA, Community Nurse, St Johns Ambulance,
Goulburn Ovens TAFE, VFF (Alicia<BR>McGrath), Workcover and a marvelous cake
stall! Tractors exhibiting<BR>protective safety features were of special
interest. Many thanks to Peter<BR>Dealy and Ian Carkeek for the

Goulburn and Nestle.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Geoff Gardiner " From My Point of View "</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The funeral was too sanitized <BR>That wasn't Geoff,<BR>"Days in the
Old School Yard" came close, <BR>But it didn't touch him.<BR>This is not
meant to be disrespectful to those who chose it,<BR>That's not what I want to
say,<BR>But Geoff was different<BR>And I guess if there was anything about
Geoff,<BR>It was that, he was different.<BR>He would even take a point of view
that was antagonistic<BR>To see if you were "True Blue"<BR>To test you
in extreme circumstances,<BR>It was to discover your truth, his truth.<BR>That
was his signature.<BR>Sometimes there was a position beyond compromise<BR>And on
other occasions an answer with which he agreed <BR>Not only did it depend on
your strength of argument <BR>But reflected your strength of character.<BR>He
saw all, the strong, the vulnerable, the authoritative and the<BR>informative in
the same light,<BR>He viewed them all with indifference and disquiet, <BR>He
yearned a perfect world for them all<BR>And wanted to place a hand on the
result. <BR>And as he moved in ways more mysterious than we knew,<BR>He
influenced us all to take a different point of view.</DIV>
