Paul Black (ex-DCA) organised a reunion of a few of his mates from his training days. Unfortunately Bill Black, ex-DCA Training School instructor,\u00a0could not make it due to his frail condition but was in the thoughts and minds of those present who regaled him as the best teacher that they had ever experienced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dave Stimson (ex-OTC)\u00a0and Denis Grant\u00a0(ex-OTC) both gave their opinions of the superior level of training and guidance that were given to school leavers through cadetships, traineeships and apprenticeships in the 60s and 70s by organisations like OTC. There was no doubt amongst those in attendance that the level of knowledge and expertise demonstrated by OTC\/DCA trained personnel was amongst the best in the world.<\/p>\n

The reunion took place\u00a0 at midday, 1st<\/sup>Floor, Fairmont Restaurant,\u00a0 Occidental Hotel, 43 York Street, Sydney (adjoining the AWA building).<\/p>\n
