Here is to an old friend.
Some of the stories you told me snippets about , and the times we sailed in events at Koonawarra Bay in our Paper Tigers will always be fondly remembered,
You are never far from my memory when I see your last PT in the Wagga Sailing Shed, ready for a new sailor to enjoy,
RIP
Atta and I always ended up at Illawarra Alpine Club at the same time. It wasn’t hard, as he’d spend a whole month at the lodge. He taught me how to skate and we did some epic trips. I was in my 20s and he must have been in his 60s, and so much fitter than me.
Atta’s passion, focus and enthusiasm was infectious. He has been an inspiration and shown the way to age gracefully. I’ll always wish I had one more stretch session with him, in the loungeroom of the lodge, as the sun is rising, finishing up as Speedy Gonzales played.
Good skiing, Atta.
