U.SofA Residents - ANZAC Memorial Service
Les Figg, an ex-Pussers Greenie (LEMWR) living in Santa
Clara, CA (served from July 1963 until November 1969, serving in HMAS
Sydney, Hawk and Perth.) has, for the past 4 years, organised a Meet &
Greet which has turned into an ANZAC Memorial in Cayucos, CA. Les has a
core group of 12 regular participants, with 4 or 5 others who have been
once or more and he welcomes any and all ex-Pussers to participate.
Unfortunately the local hotel that is used is pretty full that weekend and can’t
accommodate them on the 25th so Les has made a tentative reservation
for the previous weekend – April 18/19. If you know of any
ex-Pussers living in the US, please pass on Les's contact details.
