“Deeds Dreams and Dedication” REIQ BOOK LAUNCH
On Monday night I attended the launch of the REIQ book “Deeds, Dreams and Dedication”. The book was written by Gary McKay and celebrates the 90th anniversary of the REIQ. Gary is a well known author with many titles including “All Guts and Glory” and “Delta Four”.
The MC for the evening at Customs House was REIQ CEO Dan Molloy. Chairman Peter McGrath introduced the Governor, Penny Wensley, who launched the book in fine style. Her Excellency had obviously read the book and quoted from many of the anecdotes and the more humorous stories throughout the book.
The author spoke about the enjoyment he got from researching the REIQ and writing the many stories. The REIQ Journals were a great source of information. Many REIQ life members attended and it was good to catch up with early Raine & Horne colleagues including Ken Jackson. Previous CEO Don McKenzie was there and received a thanks for commencing the project some years ago.
