WIA's June Fox dies
We are sad to report the passing of June Fox who, for many
a year, headed up the Federal Office of the Wireless Institute of Australia.
WIA President VK3KI, Michael Owen has more..
"June Fox died peacefully on 15 October 2006.
For many people June was the friendly, cheerful voice on the phone who
was the WIA.
June worked with the WIA for 18 years until she retired in July 2005.
She was originally employed as a bookkeeper, a task that she continued
throughout her career, but later took more general responsibilities, and
many know her for disseminating information and organising the Conventions
and other meetings that were part of the federal WIA.
She always maintained a calm exterior and a cheerful approach and had
an unending capacity to find the piece of paper that was needed at the
time.
I had wondered how June would react to the new WIA structure and its new
requirements, but she was completely supportive, and did everything she
could to assist the change and to make it a success.
Many members contributed to a gift for June when she retired, which had
enabled her to visit Darwin, where she had lived for a period before joining
the WIA.
June's unfailing courtesy and her cheerful contribution to amateur radio
over the years will long be remembered.
The WIA extends its condolences to her daughter Lauretta and her brother
Earl Russell VK3BER."
Michael Owen, VK3KI
