in the middle of nowhere to ask for a financial donation. No phone call set up, just two fellows who were not really good a fund raising, with a bright idea.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

there and back. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#16191F">Friday 30 September 2016 Ica Australia celebrated the completed life of Frank James Bremner (25 August 1947-9 August 2016) at Westbourne
Park Uniting Church along with about 60 people in attendance (an eclectic group reflecting Frank’s widespread interest in and embrace of all of life) and Rev Jonathan Barker presiding (YOU DID A GREAT JOB Jonathan!). </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#16191F">Frank has been a constant in ICA Australia’s journey. Most members have fond and poignant memories of him and the following represents
a collection of some thoughts shared by his colleagues: Frank was one of a kind and is being remembered with great fondness among his ICA and ToP colleagues as a perceptive, observant, true maverick, full of life and energy, an intellectual whirl, a loveable
man, a gentle giant, with a unique view on life & a huge thirst for knowledge, a most enquiring mind and a legend.
</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho";color:#16191F">
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#16191F">He was also a great ‘connecter’ of ideas and people and people with ideas to each other. (I explained to my niece that he had introduced
her parents to each other.) He circulated information about members such as when Ray Spencer returned to Adelaide and a printed article and interview about him. I have never heard him say a negative word about anyone.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho";color:#16191F">
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#16191F">Thank you Frank!</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho";color:#16191F">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#16191F">He is and will be missed.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"MS Mincho";color:#16191F">
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#16191F">It was great to hear from and meet Frank’s family and hear from his other friends and colleagues. Several great stories were told. We
sang ‘Morning has broken’, ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘Those who wait on the Lord’ and the organ in Frank’s church is loud and fabulous. The church hall was full, apart from many delicious treats, of photographs and Frank’s books and many artefacts for people to
take home. Travelling light, I took a Johnny Hart 'BC Right On’ and Terry Pratchett, ‘The Dark Side of the Sun’. (If you would like a physical reminder of, and further insight into, this lovely man, Sue, would be glad for more books and records to go, asap.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:#16191F">And thanks for your memories Lynda and John (unfortunately it was 3am Sat that it arrived here so it was not read at the service but
it was noted that ICA colleagues around the world were thinking of him, and I forwarded your message to Sue Cole, Frank’s (friend from school & church and) partner since 2009.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
