Would
you like to say something about Trevor?
People
are trying to collect stories about Trevor and would like to hear any stories
you might have. Gai Smith, who is helping another family collect archives to be
deposited with the Mitchell library said that that the Mitchell Library would
also be interested in receiving people’s stories. She says “it’s very important
to use the occasion … to get people to commit to contributing their memories
of Trevor, and what they know of all he did in their area of interest, in
writing – so we can gather the materials that will be needed to document the
life of a great man. We’ll never get
that chance again, to have in one place so many people who knew the different
facets of Trevor’s life”.
These
stories can go to the family, be shared in the South Sydney Herald, on websites
and go to the Mitchell Library. Here are some ways you can tell your story or
pass on information:
- The
South Sydney Herald published tributes to Trevor in their July issue. They are also planning to add peoples memories onto the South Sydney Uniting Church website. You can email your story or message to editor@ssh.com.au and it can be added to
the website and passed on to the family. - Add
your story to the SMH tribute page – www.onlinetributes.com.au/Trevor_Davies/ - Add
a message or story to the Tribute Book at the Abercrombie Street Newsagency
Darlington - Do
something on your own blog or website and let us know about it
Help
the Memory and Activities of Trevor Live on
Here
are some thing you could do to help Trevor’s memory live on:
- Trevor
talked to many people and made them feel welcome and part of the community. He
also introduced people he knew to others. You can do the same.
- Trevor
was involved in many activities, causes and campaigns. Many of those are
looking for people to volunteer and help. Think about what you may be able to
do to help others - Some
people have suggested a memorial to Trevor in Darlington, if a good idea
emerges and people support it then we are sure it can be made to happen.
Council due to do some work around the Darlington shops within the next 12
months people might like to consider how Trevor could be best remembered by his
community?
