What's in a name?

Naming rights, appropriate titles. What's in a name?

I haven't seen old Mr Whitfield riding a bike recently.

He is still walking a lot. He is still able to bend down and pick up litter off the Peninsula streets which hasn't gone unnoticed by him.

Mrs Fenton might agree that a former council independent Kevin Wills has done as much to promote cycling and a healthy lifestyle as old Keith ever did.

The Wills Bridge would be correct.

I hope Joan Fenton can still enjoy the splendid view from Staples Lookout and her knowledge of history hasn't defeated her and lost her optimism.

Staples Lookout is located along Woy Woy Rd through the bush from Kariong high on a hilly area overlooking the Peninsula and ocean spectacle.

I would like to nominate Keith to have three community vegetable gardens named in his living honour, the "Gardens of Whitfield", used and enjoyed by local youth and their families.

Also the old Woy Woy Baths can be renamed the Chris Holstein bars/baths, if he courageously swims a lap during May or June.

If it gets some of our local sons out of the Bayview Hotel and enjoying a challenge it will be beneficial.

They have been holding their mugs for too long wouldn't you agree?

Mr Watson, an elderly pianist from the Pearl Beach area, had an electric organ named after him. That was a nice thought from the Japanese manufacturers.

Thomas Watson used to sell their merchandise in his Parramatta music shops not long after the last world war.

Very interesting.
