I left the NSW Public Sector on 15 April 2011 after 39 years. I had three occasions when I was farewelled - Wednesday 13/4 was an afternoo tea attended by a huge number of people (?60), a dinner on Thursday night and final exit activities to qualify for a Certificate of Exit. I indicated I did not wish to have a ift but for those who wished a donation to the Intumabne School Library fund to build a library for this school in KZN South Africa would be appreciated. A monetary gift was presented to me on Wednesday. At dinner on Thursday I was asked how much i would take for my beard to come off and having stated $500 this amount was collected withing 5 minutes prior to dinner. On Friday I was "paraded" around the building having to undertkae various activities with an "official" photographer. As part of ths people were asked to alos donate to the the Intumabne fund. All in all $1000.60 was collected as part of my farewell from colleagues. The collage is an amalgam of my last three days being farewelled including the shave on Friday.
