The last time we were all together what a legacy

Shirley, did you know you were the first entry in El Rancho's much loved funny book?! The Camp Bookshop was Shirley's pride and joy. One morning a distinguished looking customer from a conference that was in came to the counter with a book to purchase. Shirley lit up and commented on what a great book it was and that perhaps he would be able to start on the book if the conference speaker was boring. (cue shirleys grin and eye twinkle)  He replied "Ma'am I am the speaker. "

Another time the America's Cup was on TV in the Baker's lounge and Shirley was trying to manage a stocktake with all its numbers, prices and lists, and keep an eye on the yachting. It was getting very exciting and Shirley rushed between lounge and shop announcing "KZ7's $1.20 ahead at the top mark!"

Once, on the phone, for a breakfast news and support call with Ben and Lynn  from CYC the line suddenly went dead. It turns out whilst Shirley and Ben were talking his phone cord stretched across the toaster and it melted right through the wires!

I don't think I was on the end of any of your practical jokes but now I know why Chris and I got into so many scrapes - you passed the baton onto us!  
By the way we are really sorry about that wild duck we released in your spare bedroom to teach those girl leaders (Judith and Michelle) a lesson. That duck pooh really does splatter doesn't it. Mind you that orange wall paper was pretty old. Thanks for going easy on us.
So many great and rich memories. Love you Shirley.
