Presidents Report

How tremendous to have Clem Quick speak and tell ustrue tales (no tall tales) of his career and life on Thursdaynight. Again it shows the tremendous range of skills and expe-rience we have in the club. There was lots of excitement andsplit second timing and reactions but there was also hard workand contribution to community in Clem and his family's story.

As usual many members have been working hard for the club,I can only mention a few instances in my column, some ofthese include:

Kerrie and the Youth team have finalised the Resilience Sur-vey with Bayside Council, have organised with Greg to haveWes Flavell speak on the 11th of February on his NationalYouth Science Forum experience, and through David Hone are

working on sponsoring Indigenous students.

John Manks has been working on the legal structures whichwould enable a new girls' hostel to be purchased in Kupang.This is possible through a generous donation made by an indi-vidual through RAWCS.

Ken and Peter have organised storage for our Farmers Mar-ket equipment at Wilson Storage, this will be convenient andeasy to access.

Next week I am again looking forward to another member talk,

Lois talking about her career and life, another privilege.

Yours in Rotary Trish

Clem was born in Horsham on 15 September 1944. The

son of farmers he started at a local primary school whenhe was seven. He travelled 11 miles to a school with 11students. He started at Warracknabeal High School butwas then sent to board at Wesley. It was there that hemet the Nicholas brothers (of Aspro fame) and throughthem gained his first experience of flying. This would be-come both his vocation and his passion.

He gained his initial flying licence by the time he was 17and then went on to gain his commercial licence as soonas he could.

Clem was married in 1967 to a nurse, which came inhandy as some of his landings were not exactly routine.She latter succumb to cancer in 2000.

Clem went on to run a crop dusting business, Quick Air,and was part owner in a charter company Warrack Air.He also helped run the family farm with his brother.

He joined APEX and then Rotary in his 30s. He went onto be Club President, at 36, and is a Paul Harris Fellow

with sapphire.

Clems talk was littered with anecdotes from his flyingdays. As with all such speakers it is impossible to capturethe detail, nuance and wit of his presentation. AS theysay you have to have been there! A few summary high-lights include;

Water skiing behind an aeroplane to fill in time afterearly morning rice sowing

Causing havoc with local wild and domestic lifewhen he ran out of strychnine when combating amouse plague. The substitute product Endrinproved to be far more lethal than expected

Various crashes and forced landings over the yearsfrom which he walked away intact.

While instructing in an ultra-light plane he had acrash from which he did not walk away. Resultedin a broken leg.

Two of the crashes happened on Friday 13 soClem is wary of that date

Taking a Cessna Agwagon (see photo) toKununurra and having to land every 100 miles torefuel. He loaned the plane out for a season and it

INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER: 150 years of flyingexperience is shared equally between John Thomp-son, Graham Drage and Clem Quick who celebratedthe occasion with a fly in the Aero Clubs Cessna 172

on the weekend.

A quiet morning at DashashwamedhGhat, the main ghat in Varanasi,India, on the banks of the GangesRiver, afforded an image that couldproject the feel of the moment: alone visitor "taking the holy bath."

(A ghat is a series of steps leading

down to a body of water, particularly

a holy river.)
