1. Not W.M. Hughes
2. Right idea, but wrong part of the Government - YES, Federal, yes, Australia and No. Not in a political party.

My apologies for the delay in responding - it is, after all, Fathers Day, and I do have family.

jack is pretty close to the jackpot.

Yes, Chris & Sharyn. John Hope.  Apparently he wasn't exactly a shining light as Governor General, and Gough Whitlam reckoned that Sir John Kerr was the worst Australia had ever had!  Maybe this bloke set the pace!  Over to you.

John Hope, 7th Earl of Hopetoun


Statesman


John Adrian Louis Hope, 1st Marquess of Linlithgow, 7th Earl of Hopetoun, KT, GCMG, GCVO, PC was a British aristocrat and statesman who served as the first Governor-General of Australia, in office from 1901 to 1902. He was previously Governor of Victoria from 1889 to 1895.

Died: 29 February 1908, Pau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France
Spouse: Hersey Hope, Marchioness of Linlithgow
Education: Eton College
Children: Victor Hope, 2nd Marquess of Linlithgow
Grandchild: Charles Hope, 3rd Marquess of Linlithgow

TIME FOR ME TO MOVE ON..

Some years back, I started this Sticky, Who Is This.  The Forum has been successful attracting a lot of Nomads to it. Over the years, players have come and gone with some players being with us for long periods. My job is simple, monitor the Forum, try and make a fair decision on any conflict, and just have fun.

Time has now come for me to move on.  I want to travel more around Tasmania and  I lived in the Philippines for almost 20 years, I still have a house and small business there, and I want to spend more time in that Country.

I would like someone to take over from me on this Forum. Its really very simple to oversee.  I will still be around and contribute from time to time.

 

Anyone interested please PM me.  The alternative is to just let the game run by itself, which it really does now. I cant recall the last time I was called upon to settle any matter relating to the game..

Thank you everyone for your good wishes. I assure you I will still be around to participate from time to time. Such as today. Finally found him, Jimmy Webb, American songwriter. Wrote a few of my favourites, inc. By The Time I Get to Phoenix. He also wrote Up Up and Away  which I recall from my time of flying with TAA. The airline bought the rights to that song and used it as their signature tune in their advertising...
