Not me! I'm not dead

I note historian Joan Fenton suggests my name as a contender for the new pedestrian and cycle bridge at Woy Woy.

However, I must decline the honour for two fundamental reasons: one, I'm not dead; and two, the structure is too grand for my mild achievements.

I would suggest Keith O'Connell.

He was the first State politician to represent Peats, which is mostly the Woy Woy Peninsula area.

He was the first politician to have his electorate office in Woy Woy.

Also, he got the Woy Woy railway station ramp built.

Another possibility is the great actress Sarah Bernhardt, (The Divine Sarah).

A footbridge was built for her when she visited friends at Woy Woy in the early 1880s.

The bridge was called the Sarah Bernhardt Bridge.
