50th anniversary message from an original Club member

 
From Claude Gillard - OAM
"I am looking forward to being at Commando Skydiver's Golden Anniversary.  I have fond memories of my involvement with the founding of the club and the short time I spent with it before branching out to take on other things.
 
The club helped me out when I lost the lease to Labertouche Airfield and I spent some years sharing Pakenham East Dropzone with it.
 
I came back to the club at Tooradin and it has treated me so very well.  There are so many friends from the whole period of the club's existance that I look forward to seeing at the Anniversary.
 
Warmest regards to all"
