    William (Tiger) Gillespie was my maternal Grandfather. He died at age 49 before I was born. Two of his children are alive in 2012 :- Melva and Bette, my mother and aunt. His Grandchildren live in NSW and SE QLD causing mixed emotions over "State-of-Origin" games.
    Rabbitoh's, eh? Thanks Russell.
